@WathCentral @Dugsteer Have to agree with Dugald. These are wonderful! Ernest Drake would be intrigued, I'm sure. Well done Y6 : )

@willsteele @HornimanMuseum Yes, I'm well, thanks, David. I think we hermit-like, self-employed artists have had a ready made advantage in this lockdown and social distancing situation. Life goes on pretty much as normal : )

@Public_Pers Thanks Michele... the Beatles cover one was from a couple of months ago. This one's been playing through June. Very catchy : )

@chai_bean Thanks Chai Bean : )

@nghiemta This year's crop, currently growing in the greenhouse, are liable to bring the roof down. Seed from Thailand, Serbia, Italy and other places.

[Douglas Carrel @douglas_carrel]

@nghiemta Thanks Nhiem 🙂 I'll tweet a short video clip of some of the others that are in-progress.

@cagle_evan @Louschnickens Dore', Durer, Klimt and Mucha, just on one shelf, and a two volume Piranesi set below... This looks like a seriously interesting book collection.

@philipreeve1 Just perfect... very inspiring

[Douglas Carrel @douglas_carrel]

@chai_bean I'm delighted to hear that, Chai Bean : )

[Douglas Carrel @douglas_carrel]

@chai_bean So I probably wouldn't know them anyway... hmm... ok. Many thanks for enlightening me, chai bean : )

[Douglas Carrel @douglas_carrel]

@chai_bean Of the 11 people who have retweeted my previously posted image of the Lung dragon head, it says this: "6 users have asked not to be shown in this view." I'm puzzled, since I haven't a clue who they are.

@Aquadragon01 Thanks Alex : )

[Douglas Carrel @douglas_carrel]

@TomBakersSocks Ha! I found a whole heap more. There's going to be some serious scanning going on after lunch. Thanks again, Jodie : )

[Douglas Carrel @douglas_carrel]

@TomBakersSocks Wonderful Jodie... I'll need to nip out and see if I can find the bush it came from. I know there's one in my sister-in-law's garden next door.

[Douglas Carrel @douglas_carrel]

@nghiemta Nick's lovely cover art on there too... it's a design classic!

@duncanfegredo Love that he's drawn himself sitting on his bucket - Oor Wullie-style - just perfect

[Douglas Carrel @douglas_carrel]

@SimonGuy64 @HooklandGuide I feel the same way about my old friend, the Holly Bole Boy. I dread the day that I might visit and find him vandalized

[Douglas Carrel @douglas_carrel]

@cagle_evan I simply love everything about this. Beautifully executed.

@AndreaPessino Thanks Andrea, you just made my day : )
