I was going to draw a dismembered Art Deco drinks trolley with smashed whisky bottles but thought it might be too traumatic for Scottish viewers.
|
|
By:
Yass...I can indeed confirm this.

By:
Actually I lied.
It was too hard for me to draw. ![]() |

As you can see there, Nolf barfed in the ART DECO DRINKS TROLLY and Bodil had to don his protective, charcoal-lined suit to clean up. Note the ball and drain...let's hope Nolf is spared solitary confinement down that drain, a punishment that cruel Bodil has threatened several times in his attempt to wean Nolf the dog away from the ART DECO DRINKS TROLLY.
|
|
By:
It certainly looks like Bodil.
Nolf is very pleased with himself. If that were a dungeon then the drain would be an oubliette (from oublier - to forget). To be put in the oubliette was not a good omen. If I could just get at that drinks trolley... |
|
By:
Nolf got himself a good lawyer and is doing much better than most of you dead-beats. Sadly the drinks trolley kept silent and was executed by the State of Arkansas a few hours ago.

Who's a good boy then?
Could it be Nolf? He definitely looks like a good boy. |

Please ignore Bodil's propaganda. THE ART DECO DRINKS TROLLEY SURVIVES. OF COURSE IT DOES.
OVER THE NEIGHBOUR'S WALL : Here we see SHOWDIL, Bodil's feckless and long limbed lieutenant, who fancies himself as something of a showman, as his name suggests. Bodil pays Showdil a pittance. This was yet another ill-fated attempt to intimidate Nolf the dog...we see Showdil waving a muppet dog-head on a pole, in a threatening and bombastic manner. NOTE - Showdil's real name is Maitland Pryce and he was born in Mudford Sock, Somerset. Showdil (AKA Maitland Pryce) later used the muppet dog-head to clean Bodil's linoleum floor in the kitchen, then he stuck it in a grey bin bag and threw it in the back of the hall cupboard. Nolf looks away as he recalls the ART DECO DRINKS TROLLEY... |

Happened to catch start of Yes Minister and it occurred to me the drawings are similar to Pink Floyd : The Wall.
Of course what do you know, was done by the same artist. Just shows my fine eye for art style, still got it . |
|
By:
Didn't know the Pink Floyd art you referred to so looked it up. The screaming face looks like it's been "borrowed" from Francis Bacon

Roboticdil wading through the Art Deco drinks trolley. Nolf approves. Way out man.

ALLEGORY OF EUROPE - Nolf is pictured with a talking statue of Claudia Brucken of the German 80s synthpop group PROPAGANDA -- Nolf has generally had a strained relationship with Europe, ever since Schonaa the Bavarian hound b1tch left him for an Alsatian.
Nolf is currently a fervent (but not rabid) supporter of ROCK HARD BREXIT. |
|
By:
Excellent drawing skills Vel, quite imaginative too.
I really like the chalk on black paper, not something I've taken up myself although I do use coloured paper. I hadn't heard of the German wench or synthpop before, you learn something every day. That Schonaa is really lacking in good taste leaving our hero like that. |

![]() Epic race on the jumps there, in Ireland, thanks to Coneygree blazing a trail - possible race of the season. Great stuff. Hopefully those hosses will get a well deserved rest now......Nolf deserves a rest too.....but he ain't getting one... ![]() |

TITLE - NOLF GUARDING A PORTRAIT OF CLAUDIA BRUCKEN.

Some weeks ago, Gallivanter mentioned the exploits of Charlemagne on another thread.
This reminded me of the series of paintings by David depicting Napoleon crossing the Alps on his way to beat up the Lombards. He cheekily made a comparison of Napoleon with Hannibal and Charlemagne by inscribing their names on the rocks. I thought it might be interesting to try and paint a copy of one of these (difficult drawing challenge freehand) and you guys might like the hoss. ![]() |
