Happy Christmas!

It's been quite here lately, sorry for that. I'm working on a new project which should be unveiled soon.

Now that I'm middle aged and can't quite cope with basic tasks anymore, I'm going to post future Back Desk and related material over at Big Dog's Kennel. I hope having all my drawing in one place will make me look slightly more busy than at present, as well as justify the money I spend on the URL.

Brahms and Liszt at Christmas

A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Back Desk.

Brahms and Liszt at night

Normal service will be resumed shortly

Sorry about the extended break, it's been a difficult time.

I've not been entirely inactive - I recently did a cartoon for Music Teacher magazine, and I'm going to be doing some more full-page strips for Classical Music, and another one for the British Music Yearbook.

There will be a new strip here soon, when I can fit it in between the paid (and hence higher priority) drawing. Talk amongst yourselves while I crank myself into work mode.

Intermission

Sorry, no strip this week due to personal circumstances. Back soon.

Brahms and Liszt again
