2002 was the year iTunes arrived and I ripped the CDs I’d been collecting since the 1980s.
I’m really not sure why I bought so much music during 2005…
I started using emusic.com at the end of 2006. And netlabels early in 2009. Hence the subsequent high growth.

I’m unimpressed by the new Doctor Who logo & insignia, so I decided to sketch out what might have been…
The “D” and “W” on the silhouette of the Tardis should follow the perspective of the sides, of course, but this is only a sketch!

Prize-winning (kind of) entries for a Games Workshop/Warhammer competition c. 1987. Pen and ink, with ink wash. The first, for Arioch, incorporates elements from Patrick Woodroffe's cover for Moorcock’s The Oak and the Ram. The second and third are for Balo the Jester and Pyaray.

Where did March go?
Work last month left me with little time or energy to do anything else, um, constructive. No blogs, no website updates, no books read (but
several bought — the to-read list that is my bookshelves gets ever longer/more crowded… OK, I couldn’t sustain that metaphor very well), no new art… Oh — I did “discover”
Twitter.
What have I been doing? Well, I was co-chairing
one major conference — we were over target for delegates, only slightly below target for revenue, so pretty darn successful in the current economy. Two meaty reports, one to be published very shortly, the other still in draft… Both late, but both (I hope) worth the wait — we’ll see what our clients think! And early work on some shorter reports to be published through the spring and early summer.
Will I have time for more and better blog posts from now on? I’d like to think so… I see you shiver with antici— !
PS. 13,422 songs in my iTunes library.
