The day after the 2010 General Election I went down to Parliament to see what was going on. The media had set up camp to watch the process that would eventually lead to a coalition government being formed. The green outside Parliament is an interesting place at these times with spin doctors and news anchors rubbing shoulders with the tramps and nutters that are the green’s everyday population.

Africa
Cairo to Kenya, overland through East Africa 1983.
For some forgotten reason I had a couple of sketchbooks with me but no camera, possibly because I didn’t own a camera at the time.
I flew to Cairo from Athens and made my way south through Egypt, Sudan, Zaire, Uganda to Kenya and the coast. It took about 3 months. I flew home from Nairobi. It was a fantastic trip and I’m really glad I did a few drawings along the way.
Cairo was a complete culture shock for a young lad from the suburbs of Nottingham.
