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 #343 - Royal Tenenbaum


Wes Anderson in my mind is one of the most gifted writers/directors going around today, in fact Martin Scorsese said he was going to be the "next Martin Scorsese" in an interview for Esquire magazine.

His movies are brilliant,

the Royal Tenenbaums is my favourite, check this out for a killer cast;
Owen Wilson
Luke Wilson
Ben Stiller
Gwyneth Paltrow
Bill Murray
Angelica Houston
Danny Glover

and of course the immortal Royal Tenenbaum played perfectly by Gene Hackman

finally to top off the cast it's narrated by Alec Baldwin.

It's a movie about, hmm, let me think, family disfunction and a "dying" man's wish to keep his family together (well actually to keep his wife's money) and it has more smoking in it than any other movie I can think of, but it's not over indulgence it just seems to work.

Any Wes Anderson film in my mind is worth paying money to watch.
