Great once again. Certainly makes your train journey go quickly. You are dead right about the striker. Is Arsene to mean to spend any money? He can't wait for ever for the youngsters to mature!

These sketches of yours have inspired me to do the same although I must admit mine recently have all been in dentist's waiting rooms. Mind you, you get some interesting expressions there!

I love the swirly lines. It's amazing how they become so lifelike. Looks like you must have had a small pot of water and brush for the delicate washes too. These must the quieter commuters, they don't look ready to join in the singing just yet? Great sketches en tout cas.

Lovely sketches. Love to see all the lines left for the viewer to see, Adebanji. Love to see more. I'd like to see you try to capture the expression in the dentist's waiting room Diana. You'd be able to draw all my tonsils if it was me 'cos all I'd be expressing would be 'AAAAARGH!' as I ran for the door!

Another of your quite inspired sketches. They are just so authentic, if you know what I mean.

Sketched on the train on Tuesday from Charing Cross to Abbey Wood. It was a good opportunity to sketch, Brighton Supporters on their way to Charlton, sang all the way and that kept most people distracted from me. I've never experienced such a situation, most people had had a hard day at work and the last thing they wanted to hear was noise but I enjoyed it all for the sake of sketching. I checked the results after the game and they won 2-1, co all the singing didn't go in vain.
