A Teensy bit Political?

I am taking a short break from my current short graphic story to have a pop at two things- one is the guardian's short story competition that I am going to (perhaps) have a go at (the spec is tricky and has to be fairly upbeat- oh no! and it has to be in by the 15th March- double Oh no!) and also I have spent an enjoyable couple of days painting a modernistic version of Lady Godiva, with Rebakah Wade in the saddle on her trusty police horse, trotting past Scotland Yard.

I can take no glory for the idea, which was Saul's (political genius that he is) and was unable to fulfil his original spec which was to have the horses face as Ian Blair and the horses arse as David Cameron- oh if only I had the skills.... however I was pretty pleased with myself for managing to actually finish it whilst the news was still current for a change.

So, I imagine the next few days will be filled with me frantically typing and result in me NOT entering the Guardian's short story comp, due to a major lack of talent and grammatical skill.

In the meantime, here is Lady Wade-iva for you to enjoy

Obviously, it is more of a cartoon representation than anything else but I had lots of fun doing it and thank goodness for her trademark red hair which makes her pretty recognisable without having to paint the face in too much detail.
