My animation tutor from 22 years ago popped into work. A truly inspiring person and artist in every way.
The Tenderloin
The Tenderloin district in San Fran (Named after several theories: New York district, corrupt police saying, the loins of the prostitutes or the shape of the area). Here's all I saw in one go. Hidden gem is "The Magazine" shop on Larkin which Robert Crumb frequented. The owners have been there 45 years and give a free Crumb poster if asked. Most shocking thing I saw was an amputee with huge knife in his belt. Completely illegal and instant arrest in London.

5 days in Mexico City
Sprawling. Vibrant. Humbling. From Frida Kahlo's Cobalt blue garden to the street life. Wonderful place and wonderful people. My sketchbook entries:
Marshall McLuhan
Fascinating subject to animate- here's to Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan, who amongst many things predicted a global village of communication decades before the Internet.

LA March 2017
A cracking weekend in LA to see Matt Jones' exhibition. We even managed a few hours painting Venice and The Warehouse District, as well as navigating Downtown LA. Thanks to Chris Flynn for the surprise pic!
