Background Check
I can’t draw buildings. Or landscapes. So here and now, in this time and place, I decree that any illustration or sketch I draw or post here, however rudimentary or conceptual, will contain some element of background to it. Be it beach (easy), Moebius-style tower block (fun) or tree (heartbreakingly beautiful), with Godblr as my witness, my drawings will have some element of context to them. This promise is valid for the next sixteen million years at least.

Knightingale by Sion Clarke →
theflyingbears.wordpress.com
Not part of Odinn Hilmarsson Day (soon to be concluded, save your tears, world) but it involves him - these are illustrations by the excellent illustrator Sion Clarke, based on the excellent play Knightingale by excellent writer Heather Wilmot, which I was in. I was Balin, Odinn played my brother Balan. For those of you unfamiliar with the Arthurian myths, we killed each other in mortal combat in a moment of hilarious misunderstanding. Balin, in case you were interested, is a mythological figure who spent a long time getting to places where something horrible would inevitably happen.
Odinn Hilmarsson - 'Shed' Original Soundtrack →
odinnhilmarsson.bandcamp.com
Odinn Hilmarsson is a composer by trade, and composed the music to my first ever full-length staged play, Shed. The soundtrack is free to stream but well worth the paltry three quid it takes to download it and have a copy all of your own, forever.
“A half-hour television show. Half an hour to put the world right.”
