Old Man

I'm being painfully lazy at the moment, especially regarding my blog. Actually, more significantly- especially regarding my work and everything important in general. I DO for the first time ever have a fully formed idea/ film in my brain and a little bit on paper... so it's not all naughty procrastination. saying that I have recently taken up knitting and spent far far too long making a Halloween Puzzles! sheet for work the other night. ooh I'll put that on here too if you like... you can't win the prize though.

So after my half-arsed post of naked old ladies, here is my two thirds-arsed post of grumpy old men. I MUCH prefer him to her so far, in fact she has been causing me great angst and much teeth gnashing. Although I like her bent up body, I wanted to give her a sweet face... but for me sweet faced old ladies are all mochi-cheeked and crinkled smiley eyed, which doesn't really suit a skinny waspy (or praying mantisy- oooh) old body. hmmmmm. well I'll do some more sketches tonight while watching my new dirty pleasure on iPlayer and post them in a couple of days.


Can you think of a good old couple name combination? So far I've got Rosemary & Dick and Peter & Joyce but being as they are both old couples I know and both very nice I probably shouldn't use them. Plus 'Rosemary and Dick' sounds like and ITV cookery porno.

I really like the old man; for some reason, maybe the fish-bowl, he reminds me a character from this BBC2 thing "Flatworld" that they aired once, when Aardman had the year off!

Have you got any ITV Cookery Pornos on DVD anywhere? You seem to be in the know...
