Detective Limericks - First Second Books

Traveling Doodles Doodles loosely based on people I saw on the way home or in the pub. Yes, including the robot.

test heading Greek Men and Their Weird Cars No. 2 This is a sketch of my brother Alex in the garage that he owns, which specializes in servicing and repairing French cars.
