1. Fog everywhere: an extract from Charles Dickens’ Bleak House

London. Michaelmas term lately over, and the Lord Chancellor sitting in Lincoln's Inn Hall. Implacable November weather. As much mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantine lizard up Holborn Hill.

It’s the final turkey of the month, and I end things as we began them: with a contented turkey with no cares in the world. See you tomorrow for December’s theme.

4. Daily Drawing: Turkey 19

Turkey19

It’s Thanksgiving! (Or, it is for those of us in America.) Here we see the Turkeys who survived have much to be thankful for and are dancing with joy.

I’m told that some of my depressed turkeys from the last few days have made people feel guilty about consuming a bird during the holiday. But I hope my pen and ink sketches haven’t put any serious doubts in anyone’s mind. And I hope you’re having a wonderous holiday whatever you do or eat.

This turkey is checking to see if his crash diet was enough to save him from the dinner table. What do you think? Is he safe?

As promised, here’s your second turkey of the day, to make up for missing one last week. And this nervous guy really wishes he wasn’t here. Poor guy, the countdown to Thanksgiving is too much for him.

Here’s one turkey who won’t take Thanksgiving lying down. Just look at those muscles!

I missed getting a drawing up last Friday due to illness (which, I think, is the only time I’ve missed due to illness this year– a pretty good record, if I do say so myself.) I plan on having a second drawing later today to get me back on schedule.

It’s November, which means Thanksgiving comes later this month (at least, it does here in America). For me, that makes it Turkey month. This should be a fun month on drawings.

I’m behind in sharing published pieces. Here’s a single-page spread that came out in the November ’14 issue of HighFive magazine. It’s fun to do the images for these fun, little poems!

25. Amelia Calavera - Day of the Dead Sugar Skull




Dia de los Muertos (“Day of the Dead”) is a holiday celebration which is held from October 31 to November 2, not only observed throughout Mexico but also in other cultures around the world, including most Latin American countries. This popular tradition is all about the boundaries between life and death, and how people honour and celebrate their deceased loved ones as a way to reconnect with them.

Amelia Calavera was inspired by this colorful celebration and by the beautiful botanic imagery from early 1900’s. © Sandra Vargas
