There was a robin on the front cover of… Sussex Life?  I don’t know, but I was bored in the office yesterday, and wanted to try putting a sarcastic spin on something cliche.  Robins are the bossy little bully brutes of English garden birds (hedgerow birds?)  Extremely territorial.  But they need to be to survive.I can hear some outside now, actually, I think.  I… am wary about drawing birds.  They’re very much in vogue at the moment!  And I love birds, except I don’t want to be jumping on the bandwagon.   And a note for this and the work to be posted over the holidays - I’m not friends with our old Hewlett Packard.  It likes to bleach everything, so my colours are going to be off for a bit unless I figure out a way to force it to co-operate (have some ideas, but it’ll be trial and error!)  My Kodak’s having a holiday away from me in Falmouth.  It’s under strict instructions not to throw any wild parties in my absence.
