What subject would you LOVE to see a panel talk focus on? Be as niche or as broad as you want.

(I usually do this earlier in the year so it might not come to fruition this year, but I'm still interested to hear)

Today’s doodle.

FYI I’m starting a newsletter for monthly updates – new work, offers, events etc. Sign-up is at the bottom of my website if that is of any interest to you… www.simonjcurd.com

Hopefully going to finish it this time… #penandink

Ok did a few doodles for hourly comics day. Not sure I’ll get much further but wanted to give it a go.

Starting at 0700 hours:
