  • Rub your eyes in disbelief

    Some women’s faces from a sketchbook. Probably based on stills from 70s horror films, judging by the fangs, the expression of the lady top left and the presence of Linda Hayden. Colour added digitally.

  • Give me ten minutes a day

    For years I drew my fellow London Underground travellers on my commute to work, and I found it to be a great way to observe live and learn to draw quick in less-than-ideal circumstances. In today’s world of hybrid working, I don’t commute very often, but here’s some sketches from this Friday night after a catchup with some pals.

    The last few copies of Dwellers of the Deep 1, our first pocket-sized collection of London Underground sketches are still available while stocks last. And some actual House of Harley sketchbooks can be purchased on our Etsy shop.
