Today I did my bit as tour guide, met a French couple and took them on the Metro to the city, stopped at Central to sort out transport ticket before taking them to Circular Quay.
We stopped in at City Extra, then got them on a bus to Bondi Beach after chatting with them.
Best of luck to them.

As a kid, I had multiple pets over the years, one we named Kucing (Bahasa Indonesian for cat)
Guess what we called our dog.

I did a whole series of these, telling a story, with an extra individual added as the story progressed from 1-10, with the 10th page being 0 (making the story 1-0...or 10 pages in total)

Best compliment I ever received was that my depiction of humanity made a lady literally physically sick.

I've enjoyed letting my imagination run wild with various country scenes.
Here's just one, inspired by a shed on my grandparents property way back when

Back in the day, Ned Kelly was a bit of a bad boy who got on the wrong side of a corrupt trooper, ending up as a famous Aussie Bushranger.
He and his gang (brother and a couple of mates) donned armor and made a name for themselves before it all came crashing down.
145 yrs later,still remembered.

Mortimer is one of my favourite creations.
But today, I can't help help but see the parallels between Mortimer's predicament and the MAGA Civil War over on twitter.
I mean Mortimer is trying to repair himself, but many think he ripped his own eye off...the later reminiscent of MAGA currently.

For hundreds of years, if not millennia, there have been many individuals declaring the end of the world.
And just as many taking advantage of people's fears
From political figures to religious, all of them with their own agenda.

Sputnik 1 was launched by the Soviet Union 4 October 1957, almost 54 years after the Wright Brothers flew their plane.
Just the thought of how far the aerospace industry progressed with the ISS 41 years later.

Probably one of the highlights of my life was hearing that a lady got their copy of this signed by Carrie Fisher.
Knowing Carrie saw my drawing of Princess Leia kicking Jabba's butt hit me in the feels.

Seeing as I added the Luna Park pic, I figured I'd better upload the Sydney Harbour Bridge pic while I'm at it.
What can we say, it was sitting there giving me the side eye.

I loved The Ettamogah Mob by Ken Maynard growing up, his characters probably had the most influence on my own particular style.
