Happy Hell-o-ween! It’s going to be a hell-o-week…

P.s After an extremely thorough investigation by my tech wizard Rob I am afraid to say that as suspected if you are one of my email subscribers who cannot see the image in the body of email there is sadly nothing we can do as it is down to Apple mail blocking the content. As previously mentioned this is a slightly over-zealous attempt to protect you from spam and shit …I just wanted you to know we really really tried and I’m just sorry and annoyed (damn you Apple!) I can’t fix it.

So if you are one of those affected you will forever more have to click on the title of the post to see the image and yes, I know that is a pain and two more seconds of your time but surely for content of this calibre it is oh so worth it..

I shall never speak of this matter again and will now just quietly sulk in the corner…over and out.

I don’t know where these sad, slightly scary, relatively disturbing faces come from..well actually, that’s a lie, they obviousl come from my sad, slightly scary, relatively disturbing psyche. It’s just I’m nor aware of them until they are ejected through the ink in my pen.

Once they appear on the page I look down and I think..who the hell are you, how did you get there and what do you want?

I actually like to think they are all living inside my sub-conscious somewhere just waiting to be released into the real world…I see them gathering in the town square each day (run with it, imagine it’s a Tim Burton animation) and they all cheer and chant as one of them is selected by the mighty pen and ’ascends’,

What they don’t know is they end up trapped in a two dimensional form on a page of my notebook but at least they don’t have to live inside my brain anymore..no-one deserves that.

So what’s with all the drawings? I thought this was a photo blog I hear you cry..

I can’t currently take pictures as don’t have the energy to be out and about and I can’t process them either because my brain can’t concentrate enough to make the multitude of decisions required to make a photograph.

So instead, whilst I have been back in the hole, I have been drawing a lot as it has been a way to vent my experience but also because it’s the one thing I can do at the moment as it completely bypasses my brain. I hold the pen. The pen moves. End of. And they say a picture is worth a 1000 words which is a massive plus for me right now as means I don’t have to write them…

p.s dear subscribers, I have a good man (thanks Rob!) working on how to make the pics appear in your email for those who still can’t see ’em. For now, you will just have to click each title post and all will reveal itself..but one day, o holy day, they will appear before you like a vision from the supreme being..

p.p. s he looks like he’s got hairy goat legs in the illustration above. There’s no significance, I just messed up the shading trying to hide some very poorly drawn legs. This is why I normally just stick to faces.
