Variation on a theme…

A long long time ago when Lotus 1-2-3 was a thing I bought myself a copy of the then cutting edge graphics package Corel Draw, I’m not sure whether it was 3 or 4.   It came with a CD disk … Continue reading →

We climb onto the roof…

The first beautiful frosty dawn this morning and was stuck in doors.   I could have risked things but I am just getting over a cold so discretion was best.   Instead I made this graphic novel John.C.Reilly drawing.   Not the worst … Continue reading →

Learning an old curve….

Nifty Fifty…

Posted on November 17, 2018 by Guthlac

Well I’ve gone all retro or retrograde – only time will tell.   I’ve just bought myself a 50mm f1.8 lens.   It is the first time I’ve owned such a creature for the best part of 40 years.   I took it … Continue reading →

Posted on November 14, 2018 by Guthlac

  So we’re off to the races.  The draft Brexit agreement has now seen the light of day and it seems to have upset everyone (except Theresa May one assumes!)  Will it pass muster?  I haven’t got the first clue … Continue reading →

Posted on November 11, 2018 by Guthlac
