Not from the notebook, this is an A4 sheet I've been doodling on in spare moments for a while...
Densely packed page of doodle drawings in black ink with occasional use of grey wash and red and blue pencil. Also contains some words (including some swearing, so at least, if you're relying on alt text, you've been spared that).

Notebook 27:
Bunch of cartoony drawings of birds rendered in blue pencil on an A6 Muji notebook page. But the question you might want to ask yourself is: WHY?

Notebook 27: Licking Your Doodah
A double page spread of disparate doodles and scrawl that is so like countless others that Mr Shelton has posted over the years that one might easily consider it a waste of everyone's time.

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

My latest bit of “misdirected email meant for some other Dave Shelton” is an offer of help with “wealth management”.

I’ve let them know that I’m more than able to cope on my own.

People of Norfolk and Suffolk: lovely Ben and Beth, aka The Bookshop Band are playing some dates around our way at the moment, playing their beautiful, amazing and inventive literature-inspired songs. Make haste, buy tickets, go see. I'll be at the Beccles date.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
