Hiya. Another entry in the Serie 14 series. This one is number 22, unless I splinter the most recent ones off, then it'll be rejigged to be number 8. I've still not decided what to do. Part of me things that the last eight are pretty different and should be listed separately, but the other part of me wants to acknowledge that they are connected in my head. This is a whole load of typing for something only I care about. Next up is a drawing called Birches and other trees which, to confuse things, could fit into the aforementioned splinter group, but for me, it's a solo thing. And finally there's a group of twelve drawings called Línea 9. More drawings next week, I suspect.

Big old update here. Strap in. That's what people say, isn't it? Anyway, first there's one new Minipop. It's No. 1,541 in a series. And it's Abba. New Abba. As reformed bands go, this one is very exciting, isn't it? The two songs so far are great. There's three drawings called 32 lines of the Caribbean Sea. I wanted to see if I could do a drawing that was one pixel wide. I did this, but it really wasn't much fun to look at. So I copied and pasted those 1 x 32 pixel drawings until they were 32 pixels wide. I like to feed the birds on my small balcony. One crow comes every day, and a few pigeons too. And a fuckload of sparrows. I drew one of each of the The Balcony Lads. Two structures, one name: Dorothy Harris, mostly because I really had no idea what to call it. A drawing of the Seaside. Onto the additions to ongoing stuff: first a drawing of the New Jerusalem as described in chapter 21 of the Book of Revelation; a drawing of the Ferrari SF21 as described in the 2021 season of Formula One; and another addition to Serie 14 series, which, frankly, is straying so far from the early days (way back in 2020) of the series that I'm starting to think it should splinter. Finally the quick drawings that are done for the fun of drawing in the Other drawings section: Dinner Boyz and Torre de Águilas. Hope you like every single drawing. Now and forever :)

Another thing in the Serie 14 series, this time it's a drawing of a desert, specifically the Sonoran Desert in northern Mexico. And also a bunch of sketches/doodles that I've plopped down in the Other drawings folder. Seven of them, to be less vague. An alpaca, a cactus, a butterfly, a bratwurst, a German band, an Italian lady, and something with lots of wee 7x7 squares. Blah blah blah.

Good day. Three new Minipops: U2, the Beach Boys, and the Flying Picktes. A similar amount of Lollipops: motorcar drivers Sebastian Vettel, Max Verstappen, and Sergio Perez. There's two new additions to the Serie 14 series. It's something that is still kinda forming itself in my head, but there's something about it that's both ugly and attractive, I think. And the fact that I don't really know what I feel about it might be a positive thing. Maybe. Hopefully.

Today, a drawing that I've been working on--on and (very) off--since 2017. It's the Haupttribüne (main stand) of Mommsenstadion, the home of one of the world's finest football teams, Tennis Borussia Berlin.
