Superbly painted as always.

Always innovative and always good and always fun!

Excellent pen work Lew , no matter how often I look at your work I’m still amazed at the detail you put in them.

I know a pub like that - "Oozat, then?" "Oi spoy strangers!" "'E don't come from raynd 'ere" (I live on the Isle of Wight.....).

Another beaut and another to enjoy - can't get over how many strange strangers you have met up with in your life time !! Keep them coming , stay safe

Brilliant work as ever Lew. At illustrating you're the tops.

Fantastic work Lewis. You have so many stories to tell. Thank you for keeping us all enthralled.

Thanks to all for your generous comments, always very encouraging. I watched an old film (An American Werewolf in London), I'm not a big fan of horror movies, but we saw this in a cinema at the time. In the early 1980's it was groundbreaking. Still not bad, and it features a scene in a tavern, that's what prompted this.

Know the feeling but don’t recognise the characters just great Lewis.

Cracking and I do like the yellow touch. I remember when I first met my hubby to be, he took me to his local in mid-Wales and as I sat down, someone said ‘ Oh you can’t sit there, that’s old Toms seat’, of course OldTom was nowhere to be seen, but I still had to move. I think even after Old Tom passed on it was still known as his seat. Made me smile!

Superb Lewis, there are a few pubs in my area of Wales where you may well receive a similar reaction!

This works so very well, Lewis, super palette and the drawing as masterly as ever!

Great characters as usual, Lewis, but I absolutely love the colours.

Thanks again to the people who've commented, it's much appreciated.

I love this! There is so much detail in this picture. I still haven’t got round to trying ink.

That moment in Vampire/Horror films where a stranger enters a tavern, and the locals fall silent and look at him...knowing he's for the chop. On a whim I used cad lemon in the mix for most of the colours...wish I'd used it in all of them. A3 sketchbook.

About the Artist
Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
