In my efforts to focus my mind on things other than work and 'the big move' I have joined an online group called Everyday Matters. Every week they post a subject to draw. You can do them in order or not. You can do the most recent ones (like I have) or go back over old ones which I have done in my journal without realising it. I am beginning to really value the online community. There are some extraordinary people out there - artists, crafts people, writers and all round talented folk. I find them truly inspiring and my experience so far has found everyone to be kind and encouraging. I posted some of my journal pictures on Flickr and had some very nice comments - it really warms my heart to think that someone I don't know takes the time to comment on my efforts.
So what with Everyday Matters and Different Strokes from Different Folks I have no shortage of arty inspiration.

Well now you've got me thinking! It means moving house but where it comes from I don't know. I looked up and found this:

which explains better than I could. I didn't know it was so British!
Thanks for your comments - I really appreciate it!
Excellent work! :)
I am a Nintendo DS fan too, well, I got the fat version but it works fine. :) My fiancee has the exact similar one as the one which was drawn. I should totally ask her to do the same and see how it turns out.
Welcome to the EDM group. You sketches are great and I hope we see more of them. Good luck on the move to Australia.
Good luck on your move to Australia! You might be interested in my friend’s blog. She posted a bunch of sketches on Australian slang in anticipation of her daughter’s trip. Here’s one on “Spit the Dummy”:
