Drink and Draw, Los Angeles
Last night was at Drink And Draw, an evening in a bar which combines two of my favourite things to do. Was down with Kevin C and Seth Kearsley, Seth being the man who directed and designed our sitcom ‘Slacker Cats’ and a vastly better artist than me. There were models to draw from life but these two things are just from my head (which is for the best).
A lot of stunning artists there but was especially thrilled to introduced to Dave Johnson who designed the characters for Ben 10 – a show which dominates my life cause it’s the favourite of my two boys. Some people want to come to LA to hang out wiht Shia LaBeouf or someone, but I MET THE BEN 10 GUY so I win.
If anything like Drink and Draw is going in London I’ll be straight there.
What I drew on the plane
Just got into Los Angeles. Started bothering the sketch pad somewhere just south of Greenland.

Being an atheist and all, I’m very concerned that we need a new poster boy. If anyone’s having a go at ‘militant atheism’ or ‘fundamentalist atheism’, you know what’s going to happen in the third line of anything being written; they’re going to say how unappealing Richard Dawkins is, then rest most of their argument on that. It’s a bit like basing a critique of all religion around not liking the overall style of Ian Paisley.
So we need a warmer, friendlier atheist. A Rebecca Adlington of god-doubting.
Selfish Pigs, which is my new book, is out very soon now. Just a week or two. Can’t wait to start re-arranging it for prominence in the shops.

The front of The Sun today: Keith Floyd alongside Patrick Swayze, and ‘They had the time of their lives’ written above their faces. I have been waiting all my life for a thematic link between Keith Floyd and Patrick Swayze to emerge, and now we have one.
Also I was thinking it would be really good if there was a kind of booze made from meat. I’ve love to get smashed on liquid beef.
I’ll go and have a bath.
