what the hell is this about?

Several friends have embarked on their own P365 journey but as I have no camera nor an eye for photography I've decided to try to complete "a doodle a day" for an entire year. Most will be in my little Derwent A5 sketch book but some could end up being from the corner of some document or scribbled on a newspaper. As the year progresses I will try my hand at inking them as well?

If some of them don't make sense, don't worry, they're probably not meant to. You may notice there will be certain themes along the way and if you know me you'll know why.

I hope you enjoy.

Okay, here goes, every day til I'm 39.

Day #263 - History made


Today Ray "Jesus Shuttlesworth" Allen became the All Time leading scorer of 3 point shots in NBA history surpassing the great Reggie Miller's record.

So I thought I'd draw him shooting.

They say that he has the sweetest shot in all of basketball and it's hard to deny it's goodness but I think the thing that makes it so sweet for me is the fact that it's the exact same smooth technique no matter where he is on the court and in what direction he is going, it's a lazy flop of the arms and a delicate kick of the legs, poetry in motion.

Who would have thought the young basketballer in Spike Lee's He Got Game would turn out to be this amazing player.

I'm just glad that he plays for Boston!

Congratulations Ray!
