  • This is B for badger in a series of videos for an animal ABC.

    I went on Vacation to Rome recently and saw a Juventus Shirt in a sport shop window and thought, that is just what a badger should wear! I assumed that a million artists would have had the same idea, but no!

    So that’s what I decided to do for this week’s Animal ABC.

  • I keep a sketchbook by me when I watch TV in the evenings in case there is nothing very interesting on, in which case I start drawing faces that come up on screen.

    Sometimes I draw them from really interesting shows as well!

    The trouble with drawing from the tv is that the average edit is less than 3 seconds long, so I just have time to register some of the details of the face and draw it as best as I can remember it. Very often the face never comes back, so these are impressions – snapshots.
