Look What THEY Drawed (Christmas 2011)

It's that time of year again, so here are a bunch of creative Christmas cards I received from some of my friends.

First up is this cute little dragon, courtesy of Richy K. Chandler...

Next, Yuki Nishimura drew this hilarious Christmas version of the movie Alive...

Joe Beale drew this picture of Christmas in Greenwich...

Zarina Liew sent me a festive picture of the characters from her
Le Mime web-comic...

And Arina Orlova produced this very topical illustration...

And finally, my dear old mother got in on the act this year and drew me a Christmas card featuring a picture of me pulling Santa's sleigh... Thanks mum! (Although she forgot to draw my beard...)

And thanks to everyone else who sent me a card this Christmas. And I hope you all have a great day tomorrow! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

***UPDATE 02/01/12***
I also got this neat card from Nanae Kawahara, illustrated on both the front and the back...

And I bought Nanae's New Year postcard from her Yaomart market stall at the Duckie Christmas Market at the Barbican, just in time for 2012 – the Year of the Dragon...

You're Fired!

I really don't watch that much television these days, but one show that I do watch religiously is The Apprentice on BBC1, which I figure is probably as close as I'll get to doing a Business Studies degree...

Anyway, after 11 weeks, they are now down to the final four contestants, and with the Final being shown this Sunday, I thought
I would do a few drawings of the remaining contestants...


(clockwise from top-left: Jim, Helen, Susan and Tom)

My money is on Susan to win! Even though she has the uncanny ability to be amazingly stupid and then brilliantly clever in a single sentence (which may well be down to the show's editing), she's shown that she knows a lot about business and also seems to be the most ambitious of the four. I like Tom, but he just doesn't seem like he could actually run a business. Jim is too manipulative of other people and Helen... I don't really have any opinion about Helen. She's been on the winning team the most number of times, but I don't think that's always been particularly due to her contribution.

Anyway, apologies for anyone who reads this blog and doesn't watch The Apprentice... but it IS my blog, so stop your moaning! x

**UPDATE**
Tom won.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

So I've been a bit lazy since the start of the New Year, but I justified this to myself by the fact that it was the weekend and today was a Bank Holiday, so it was only fair. Anyway, tomorrow I begin my Manifesto for 2011...!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!! Hope that 2011 will be a terrific year for you all...
