In the neighborhood

Art done for a neighborhood association poster. I won’t be able to make the party, though.

August in the city

The family are off to the seaside, but I’m still here, trying to concentrate on work despite this incessant buzzing in my head.

Above, ‘Panic Caused by a Mosquito in Piccadilly Circus,’ from The Strand Magazine, 1910, via Paul.

Cog railway

Based on the Mount Washington cog railway in New Hampshire, this is a recent painting for a promotion by my American illustration agents Lindgren & Smith.

Beetles and Gershwin

Above: the perfect art of Harrison Cady, at Golden Age Comic Book Stories.

For more six-legged larks may I recommend a visit to The Insect Circus.

Moving away from the insect theme, here is more musical theatre, this time from choreographer Pina Bausch who died on tuesday.
