I’ve been off the grid for a while. Initially, I had high hopes of doing lots of posts while I was away, but sadly things don’t always go as planned. That doesn’t mean I’ve stopped creating. On the contrary, there are many projects I’ll be sharing with you in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, the back of a diner placemat became a canvas for a doodle that turned into, well, this. My daughter declared it a hippogriff, as you’ll see from her hand lettering. I always have an art pen (or three) in my bag for those moments when waiting (in this case for breakfast special #2) seems to take forever.
