The polar bear variations - 5

Who wouldn't be slightly puzzled to - after trekking for days in the blinding polar wilderness - find a polar bear coming out of a giant gift box?

The polar bear variations - 4

Pretty sure the bear is too fat to move quickly enough to get to the seal and eat it. He didn't get that fat just eating polar lettuce, though, so I'd watch out if I were the seal.

The polar bear variations - 3

Big bear, little flower pot, rather large flower.Pretty sure that flower wouldn't fit that pot. That's why not that many polar bears are gardeners. Or florists, for that matter.

The polar bear variations - 2

They're both enjoying some soft drinks. Big cups; and what with polar bears not being small we can only assume the beverages were purchased somewhere in the USA.

The polar bear variations - 1

Look! Two polar bears. They're having a chat. The one on the left has a massive nose. Maybe the one on the right just knows the most flattering angle to be drawn from.

Short kakapo story, part 3

The kakapo gives his new kiwi/chicken/walking aubergine friend a ride. All is good.

Short kakapo story, part 2

He bumps into a small bird. I'm guessing either a kiwi or a chicken with some serious development issues.

Short Kakapo story, part 1

Another rubbish attempt to create a story out of three completely unrelated drawings. Here comes a Kakapo down the road.

Kakapos

I became slightly obsessed with Kakapos after watching a documentary with Stephen Fry about species under the threat of extinction. Here are a few of the many ways a Kakapo can be translated from a very fat, green flightless bird into a very fat, black and white flightless doodle.

Grumpy rabbits, part 3

More like 'Perplexed Rabbit and Squirrel, part 1'.

Grumpy rabbits, part 2

Probably a big rabbit mum forcing a rather resigned member of her rabbit offspring (looks like a teenager, methinks) to eat some carrot. You'd think the kid would've gotten used to carrot by now.

Grumpy rabbits, part 1

Another rather inexplicable one. Are they at the world's least exciting rabbit party? Is it the start of the morbidly obese rabbit 100m dash and they're lost in concentration, brows furrowed? Only time will tell. Actually, probably time won't tell.

A very unusual trick

This is getting silly now. Giant rabbit removes tiny magician from hat. Neither have mouths, or noses for that matter. Surely breathing without either is more of an astonishing feat than pulling a little bloke from a big hat?

A bit more of an unusual trick

The very large rabbit is clearly not that amused. The magician is surprised. Was the rabbit supposed to be that big? Did it come from the hat or did it get a bus? If so, did it use a saver pass, an oyster card or simply didn't pay? We'll never know... mystery is the soul of magic.

A slightly unusual trick

Now, this is a little bit different. The man is coming out of a giant top hat. The future of magic or rather disappointing male burlesque routine? The audience shall decide.

A magician

Here's a very traditional little magician, doing two very traditional magic tricks: producing a rabbit (or a supermarket bag with a rabbit face drawn on it) from a bag; and wriggling his fingers to control something (out of frame at the moment of drawing) from a distance. All very tidy.

A man's journey, part 5

At the end of his journey our friend is reunited with his love, proud of his journey and the fact that she managed to comb her hair in a bun and in a fringe at the same time.

A man's journey, part 4

Finding his way to a road our protagonist hitches a ride on a truck. With no space on the cabin he travels on the back, enjoying the cold breeze, the beautiful scenery and the absence of having to make small conversation with the driver. Which is a bit mean.

A man's journey, part 3

Our man leaves the train and find himself in unknown country. From a hill far away a herdsman worriedly points at him, probably reminding his faithful long legged pig that traveling without a map - although seemingly romantic - is neither big or clever. The pig agrees.

A man's journey, part 2

Our hero takes a rather crowded train. All people have to do all day is sleep and cook pork sausages on the steam coming out of the engine. Unfortunately no one remembered to bring the barbecue sauce.

A man's journey, part 1

Ok, this is an attempt to create a little story out of 5 or 6 completely random doodles drawn in separate situations. Considering everything I draw looks exactly the same it shouldn't be too hard, so let's go.

Our story begins with a young gentleman starting a trip. An older man sitting on top of his well traveled suitcase reminds him of the vast possibilities the journey he is about to undertake present.

A little village

Loads of people, a happy dog, a little church and what seems to be a priest returning from a seminar, only to encounter his long lost love in the square where they spent their childhood together. It could just be a bloke wearing a hat bumping into a complete stranger.

A selection of little people with big noses

Including a very anti-social one that chose to stay on his own at the bottom.

A mixed bunch

Who are these people? What do they do in their free time? What do they like? Has one of them ever played for Rochdale United? All I know is the one on the far right is either a friendly fridge with a handle or a very large piece of luggage.

Pocket accountant

This is a very small and very tidy accountant. Clearly likes plane spotting and collecting thermos flasks. Always handy to have one around.
