Look what THEY drawed: 21 again!

Yesterday was my birthday and I got some amazing cards, including these hand-drawn designs...

Me riding a Hulked-Out Yoshi by Augstine Coll...


Embracing my recent love of the Olympics, by Chie Miyazaki...


Soju Tanaka customised this card design by Rachel Ortas...


...and drew these characters inside! :)


A penguin party by (clockwise from top left) Richy K Chandler, his wife Tibah, their 5-year old son Emir, and their uber-talented cat Suki Kabuki...


Thanks for all my cards and birthday wishes! It's great to have such awesome friends! :)

Always believe in your soul/You've got the power to know...

I was not particularly looking forward to the Olympics before they started in London last week – mainly due to the constant reports of transport chaos and overcrowding in the city – but now that it's actually here, I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit and tonight I watched an amazing evening of athletics with Team GB winning not one, not two, but three gold medals with some remarkable feats of human athleticism!

Well done to Jessica Ennis, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah!
