Loved hearing this story at a family funeral earlier this year. Alan's own account of his first - and only - job interview. (This will have been in the 1950s I guess.)

Advent Doodles 2025. Day 4: “Dominick the Donkey.”

Wait, who? Today is the first day I’ve ever heard of Dominick the Donkey. Apparently he’s “The Italian Christmas Donkey” from a 1960 song. It’s quite catchy, I suppose.

Advent Doodles 2025. Day 3: “Singing loud for all to hear.”

I gather this is a quote from the film Elf. (Not a film I’m a fan of.)

Advent Doodles 2025. Day 2: “O Tannenbaum”

Confession: I knew O Tannenbaum was a song, but didn’t know what it meant until I looked it up this morning. If I’d known it meant O Christmas Tree I wouldn’t have done one for Day 1! 😂

I wrote something here about somewhere I feel inspired to do things differently.

Sketching from real life. It happens occasionally.
Environment matters. Greenbelt Festival works for me.

I did this two years ago, and it’s pretty much what got me started on my recent drawing habit. I’m going to do it again this year. Why not join me? #adventdoodles thanks to Big Day Doodles for the list.

Well, it's about time I put something new on there - my first new item on Etsy for several years has just gone live.

Hand-made concertina sketchbook, in which I’ve started a wee project I’ve had in mind. You’ll have to wait a while before seeing what’s developing inside. #sketchbook

I wrote some more words. About words. open.substack.com/pub/trevorco...
Have I really been "inspired"?
A subtle re-thinking of my use of that word.
