Last month I started on a painting of Niggle working away, it was for the theme of the month over at John Howe’s website. The theme was ‘The Bestest Book Ever – Imagine this is your dream commission, the book you’ve ALWAYS wanted to do a cover for.<\/em>‘ So an illustration of Niggle was an obvious one for me to attempt. Sadly it was overtaken by real life events and I could not fit in any spare time to splash paint around, the month was gone all to quickly and the new theme was ‘The Real You – Self-portrait month. this is your chance to paint the inner you, or the outer you, as the case may be.

Not a very successful one, partly because he had many other things to do. Most of these things he thought were a nuisance; but he did them fairly well, when he could not get out of them: which (in his opinion) was far too often.” I’d already posed up the ladder as Niggle, and the board was roughly marked up, so I just had to slap a little paint around \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
