Happy Birthday Giacomo!

It was also my friend Giacomo's birthday over the weekend. He had an 1001 Nights-themed party, but sadly I was unable to attend. But I did draw him a suitably themed birthday card for the occasion...

O Captain! My Captain!

I woke up this morning to the news that Robin Williams had passed away. He had starred in so many films that I watched as a kid – including Mrs Doubtfire, Hook and Jumanji – as well as films that I watched when I was older including Insomnia and One Hour Photo.

But probably my favourite performance of his, and one that I watched countless times growing up, was as the voice of the Genie from Walt Disney's Aladdin.
