Memories of Brighton last summer.

That's what I'm thinking, great illo! I adore the way you got the expression on his face! Did you do this from a foto or from memory?

Lovely illustration. It reminds me of days at the beach here in Belgium. I love the stripes on the chair.
A perfect illo for this week's theme.

Cheers.

He is just like the little emperors we see across China.

thanks for commenting all of you, I've taken a while to reply because I've still been feeling awful.
Cin, I do like brush and ink or brushpens.
Ives 77, I did take some photos on the day so they were very useful reference.
Stephanie, I thought that just colouring the stripes would give the picture that 'chair' emphasis
Cream 2 seconds later he was jumping up and down - so only a brief moment of respite
Lin - not often very angelic - as rachel says a bit of a little emperor

This is absolutely perfect. You've brilliantly rendered his expression, his posture, his mood, the chair, the foreshortening. It doesn't get any better than this.
