So, happy 89th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians—and someone concussed him with a brick

There is indeed time and place for hedgehogs, but to be honest, in England today, there is less time and fewer places for hedgehogs than ever before.
an ink and watercolour drawing of a hedgehog surrounded by dry leaves with a night sky behind it. a speech bubble from the hedgehog reads "since you ask, I like night time and hedges but you can put my portrait on a fiver if you wishIn response to a BBC story reading "hedgehog among four chosen animals to feature on your new banknotes" . Tory MP Rebecca Paul tweeted 
I love a hedgehog but there is a time and a place for them. 

We are not nursery children - please can we have inspirational people from the past who have contributed to our country back on our bank notes please @bankofengland.

Let’s be proud of our history and recognise it on our legal tender.

Hate it when you see what you think is a cool bird and you look it up later and it’s called like the Common Dumb Asshole. “Birders throughout history have hated its guts. It can’t even fly right.” I thought I saw an interesting guy.

Quick drawing of something I really enjoy.
Me coming home and greeting Brioche (a cat sleeping on a rolly cart) by saying "Brioche I'm home!" 
He sits up and you can see the left side of his soft round head is concave from where it's been squished against a pillow for several hours.

The thing is you have already spent a lot of time on it and suffered, and if that cumulative time and suffering has given you the skills to make an artwork with what seems like speed and ease, then it's okay to accept that as the fruit of your hard work
