One of my daily sketches from 2023. Happy Birthday to one of our greatest heroes.

It’s the final day of @iainandjane ‘s second installation at @fitzroviachapel - an exultant experience exploring the historical empathy and benevolence of the Middlesex Hospital. A reminder of the thirteen years that @annasmithfilmcritic and I spent living in the original 1745-1747 site of the precursory Middlesex Infirmary around the corner on Windmill Street - we must have absorbed so much of that ambiance. If you’re in London have spare minutes this afternoon, go and bathe yourself in this glory.

Seemed like an appropriate day to finally get my HAIL TO THE THIEF @stanleydonwood print framed. @radiohead Do not despair, though hope seems all but lost, love shall in time prevail.
