Can‘t wait to turn this into a Beedrill card. 🐝

Looks like my daughter is working on a 1d6 old school rpg:
A page in a notebook covered in dice roll tables and their outcomes. From fantasy creature races to weapons and foes.

Reading through this classic with my daughter. I was almost the same age when my grandparents gave me this.
A classic Usborne Puzzle Adventures series’ book. The Intergalactic Bus Trip. The cover illustration shows a bus taking flight from a runway on an alien world.

I really enjoy making coloring-in pictures for the kids.
A drawing of popcorn-shaped characters dancing in front of a rainbow to music from a stereo. Block lettering reads “Everybody DANCE!”

Gonna get the outdated trivia kicked into me.
“Sale of The Century” board game based on the TV quiz show from the 80’s(?). Colorful hexagon prize money stepping stones are surrounded by photos of quiz show prizes from the era.

16-year-old me thought he was a very original cartoonist.
An illustration of a bank robber with buttocks in place of a shaved head. They are making a gun gesture with their fingers and are holding a large sack with a dollar sign on it. The speech bubble reads “This is a stink-up!”

🎲✂️ Meant to get this business card sized game up on itch .io last year, but postponed till next week. It’s a tiny graveyard chase. Rules on reverse side.
🏃💨 👻🪦
A business card sized game. A 5x5 grid on the left half represents a graveyard. The right hand side lists dice rolls and their outcomes for moving the player and ghost counters.

This lil’ bug didn’t want to be friends with the kids, so it played dead. And I can’t help but think this is me in stressful social situations.
A green bug lays on its back playing dead as a child’s finger points at it. Above the bug added text reads “I dead. Don’t touch me (please).”

Posting some of my old #maze designs. #drawing #puzzles
A spider attempting to cover all its eyes with only its two front legs. A sprouting potato with a bemused expression. An unfurling scroll which reads “Maledict” and contains an image of a skull. A rabbit sitting in a teddy bear pose.

Going through old school stuff. I remember getting mad seeing this comment as a teen. But now I realise it was words of encouragement. #wordstoliveby
A maths teacher’s hand writing in my exercise book reads “Andrew You are better than this.”

Going through a bin of stuff I won from crane games in Japan. Never opened this - batteries must be kaput by now.

That artwork’s a little revealing, isn’t it? #nothingatall
A wall decorated with colourful spray-painted stencils cartoon portraits. One resembles Ned Flanders in a red skin-tight ski suit from a Simpsons episode.

Made the kids a “Birds in Grandad’s Garden” mini zine to fill-out. Put some bread on the lawn.
Been quiet all day. 😊
