Rowan Williams

These are my rough drawings for yesterday’s cartoon showing how Rowan Williams has evolved from an ape-like creature.

I have always believed that it is fun to show your workings. See for example ‘Various losses‘ or ‘Lost property and the five-elbowed‘. The truth is that I really am not a caricaturist and make no claims to be. Drawing caricatures like my friend Steve Hearn (who lives down the road) is something that I’d love to be able to do, but up until now I haven’t put in the time to practice, do more practicing and then do more practicing which is what it takes.

OK, I am frightfully busy today as I have got a number of projects I am behind on. I do plan to do one other short blog post, but if you see me doing anything else on the internet today tell me not to.

Update: Ruth Gledhill has kindly drawn attention to this picture as well as yesterdays. My reputation as a respected artist within the community is now in tatters.
