First spread from my new sketchbook, the last that I have in stock (I got six sketchbooks from moleskine some time ago, one of my sketchbooks was out traveling). I will have to order up soon, maybe it's time to try a new brand for a change.
the books of Kells was a great inspiration for me when I was younger, I hope to to something with leaf gold someday
This year I will try to get the event a baroque flavor, with the right choice of shoes

and attire, as it happens I would hardly be seen in this suit, there's always runners in far more flamboyant dress.
The secrets of keeping a successful sketchblog is to post often and to be able to post often you have to sketch a lot. I made this while waiting for my youngest daughter. I had the car parked at the moment, I'm still in practice in sketching while driving..
They joy of biking can sometime be hindered by an exploding tire
To make a new tire I take a stroll in our rubber plantation
Making a spiral cut makes the rubber juice drip into the combined hat/tiremold
Pygmy Elephants hate when you take rubber from the trees, beware they are surprisingly nimble
Remember to hold a firm grip on the hat (the chase is part of the plan)
because a tired pygmy elephant is an excellent pumping device, and the little run has dried the rubber enough as to venture a pumping of the new tire.
And remember to be kind to the elephant afterwards...
