Almost Flash Gordon.

Glad you didn't dump it Lewis. It's super. I also used to go to the cinema on Saturday morning. Sixpence to get in. We were th ABC minors. Always left on a cliff edge with Flash. Had to wait a whole week to see if he was saved. Happy days.

It's wonderful and I enjoy looking for new little bits all over your work. Love the old lady going shopping and the glamour girl, also that strange tall person leaning. Great don't bin Lewis.

Your Tesco lady is a little unsure of Flash, but I am sure it will have made her day. As you say complete nonsense, but why not, it would be a dull world without it.

I've given the wrong impression, I'm not going to bin this. I'd got to a point where I'd drawn Ming the Merciless and Flash, and very loosely penciled in a lot of other 'Flash' related stuff...I didn't like it at that point, put it to one side, considered dumping it, and then decided to forget about 'Flash' and draw anything I fancied. I like it now, it's sufficiently oddball to take my fancy.

This got away from me. This started as a Flash Gordon pic, but I didn't like my 'Ming the Merciless' (the best character...the bloke pointing.) Then I drew Flash...I thought he was a poser, so I drew him as one. Didn't like it. It was either dump it ...or turn it into one of my full page doodles where nothing has to relate to anything else. That's why there's a lady passing through on her way to Tesco's.

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.
