• Betty loves making signs, she even sets up her own shop to sell them. But will Tacky Tim’s Sign Superstore put her out of business?

    Easy text for beginners and learners.

    Playful word images helping to tell the story.

    I was a signwriter many years ago, so this story comes from the heart and is one of my favourites. I think it is quite unusual. In preparing the video, I realise that business quite often comes into my stories. I think I want children to know that most stuff happens because of the enterprise of people who get up and do things!

  • See how I painted this on Patreon!

    Join me as I live sketch the inauguration of President Biden.

    For many different reasons it could be an historic day, and for those many reasons there could be many different things to sketch.

    There will be no live chat. I will be watching the BBC coverage here in the UK, you won’t see that, but you will hear my live commentary as I draw what I see.

    Sometimes you only get one or two seconds of footage to draw from – It will be fun. You can have your own live feed for the inauguration playing too, or watch it on bbc world news. if you can find it. ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/mobile/world-radio-and-tv-14563857 ) That should be the same feed I get.
