Here's a new member to my Critter series, Saxophone. Once again the idea has come from a random word generator on the web, in this case it was `Saxophone' `Target' that set me off in this direction of the universal quest for love and a night of full sleep.
If you have any random words lying about at your feet you think would be better used as inspiration for a Critter picture then let me know. I'd love to hear from you.
And boy is it slow. Life has a way of getting in the way of plans. I had hoped to have enough images by mid year to begin selling at the markets here in Newcastle. Doing two versions of the one image slowed me down a bit. My `Artistic' advisor suggested I try selling sketches of my work as she felt they had more `life' and `energy'. We argued. I said `let me do both and do a feedback test on Facebook'.
She won. (She always does).
So here's the first official one in my new style, and I'll get to work on some more.

Hey God! How come you're such a prick?
Why you little...!!
I just had a thought, wouldn't it be a fun exercise to make a movie where you dramatise elements of Bible stories concerning God and work them into a story? Say perhaps, a paternal head of a family and all of the shit he puts them through? But everything is based literally on Bible stories. It got me thinking because I saw something someone posted on Facebook or somewhere a short time ago which went along the lines of `If God was a real person and did all of the things he did to his people to people today in real life you'd have nothing to do with the asshole'. Maybe call it `God the Father'?
So what if?
I love the idea but I don't know if I want to do it myself. I've still that Murphy's Law idea kicking about in my head. So I'm putting it out there for someone else to have a crack at if they desire. I reckon it could be very Seinfeldian/Castanza -ish. Well, all those Jews, how could it not?
For your reading pleasure I present to you what I hope will become a series of articles detailing the History of Newcastle as told with only a passing tip of the hat to any sort of pesky and irritating truth.

Read MoreI watched the remake of Total Recall last night. I just cannot believe how awful it was. A movie where they decided that the story was getting in the way of the action which itself needed to be toned down so it didn't upset anyone. Cinematic Valium.
