My new art project. These are Tibetan buddhist symbols painted on rocks I collected in the hills during a recent trip to Wales. Eventually this first batch will be coated in matt varnish and mounted on a wooden base. Then offered for sale.

Got these beauties from a collector in Hay on Wye during a recent trip to Wales,  2 arrow heads and a microlith from a dig in the mississipi basin. Over 1000 years old.
Wales was tough. It rained incessently and I got rotten hay fever. Still you gotta laugh.

Dakini, a type of Tibetan Buddhist deity. I sketched this while visiting some friends at a retreat centre up in the hills above the tiny village of Crickardarn, in Wales. Incedently this is where they filmed some sequences for An American Werewolf in London. The Slaughtered Lamb was in Crickardarn.

Out at Cresswell Crags with sun and a fat Churchill. Great day.

Just got back from a trip up north with a few days in Scotland. Very pleasant except I discovered once I got to Scotland that I didnt fit in my new tent! I had not taken into account the added hight of an air matress and a thick sleeping bag. I  had to leave the interior flap open and got eaten alive by midges. Also it rained constantly and I got soaked through. Not one of my finest moments.

Brought my bike back to Brum and am really looking forward to getting out on some decent rides.

This was waiting when I got back, and I am planning to visit some of these new sites. Some of the rock art in Ireland is particularly stunning.
