A quick wee chunky upload before Christmas, including some festive stuff for your bauble-y enjoyment.

First up, some brand new stuff. Well, first up, actually, some old stuff reconfigured, recoloured, re-whatever-ed, called 67 pixel people. I've been doing this pixel stuff since 1999, and although most people I draw are done using the Minipop template, there have been, I think, 67 different types of small-ish pixelly people. So here I dressed them all the same: fluoro yellow shirt, jeans, short black hair. Just for fun.
Next, a drawing of Bad Bunny.
Thirdly, an animated GIF about London clubs in the top division of English football from 1888-89 to 2022-23. Not really useful, definitely not an infographic, simply a wee animation using data as its elements.

The Christmassy stuff!
I've reformatted a couple of old things (This Little Doggy, and the Yuletide Owls, should any of you remember them from the olden days of 2001 and 2004) so they, hopefully, work better on different types of devices. And a couple more tree drawings because, just because.

And other additions to ongoing projects:
Minipops: Nick Cave, Jaco Pastorius, Ronaldo, Steve Harvey, The Chats, and the three main characters in Trading Places, probably my favourite movie ever. Singin' in the Rain is up there, too, mind. Either could be my favourite were I watching either of them at the time.
Jesus, etc.: a black and white drawing of the New Jerusalem, as described in the Book of Revelation.
People with faces: Mr and Mrs Claus on the beach, and a Berlin U-Bahn entrance.
Squiggly Cloud Series: three new additions to this series, a couple of which kinda combine the idea worked on in the Senna/Prost stuff I did in the autumn. Felt like a good wee thing to try out, mixing that stuff with the cloudy stuff. Not entirely sure it was a complete success, but it was worth a go, and might be worth continuing to work on
Other drawings: the Torres de Satélite drawn as birds, and a quick drawing of 70s British band, Slade.
