Inspired by my holiday...

...I painted this caricature of my travel buddy. It's based on a camel ride we had when visiting the ruins of Petra in Jordan.

Israel and Jordan.

Without wishing to turn this into a bog standard Blog about my life, writing about things that no one really cares about, I recently went to Israel for a holiday and wedding which I'd been invited to. I'd a great time and took lots of pictures. I even popped over the border to Jordan whilst I was there, which was initially terrifying, having been told by a number of Israelis not to go. "You go there, you don't come back alive!" we were warned. That turned out to be untrue, thankfully. Silly shit stirring Israelites! Although the blood stains at the border did nothing to calm my nerves during the crossing, the Jordanian people on the whole were exremely friendly and welcoming.

Below are some of my favourite pictures from the trip. For more images be sure to follow this link to my Flickr account.
