Drawings and writing from a new sketchbook. Did most of these on holiday in front of the telly.

Like I say, I’m just gathering ideas here. Some kind of drawing brain storm. Not sure if these are characters in a story that I’d like to write or not. When I drew this I was imagining that the lads were from different families that had different traditions of facial hair and paint. I will draw more with beards and things rather than just bum fluff moustaches like these ones.

The stand is for people to lie on after they’ve passed away. I think I’ve seen a photo of a real one in a book about Native Americans or something. Not sure what the point of it would be in real life, but in my story they’d build the stands really high to help the spirit of the old dead person climb up to the heavens.
