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 #290 - Don Carluccio


Wheels of cheese are a powerful thing, especially when they are the most sought after wheels in the world and if you control the wheels you are a very powerful person indeed.

Little Luca Carluccio was born into a position of power, his father before him and back for 18 generations controlled the world of Grana Padano Parmesan cheese.

Now was Luca's turn and next his son will take over.

He was the Don, but this Mafia was not about expansion but only protection. When the Chinese started exporting cheese to Europe the Don wasn't entirely sure how to manage it, he'd heard of a rogue pirate whom protected their interests, he got word to X-Beard and the protection racket came into play.

the Don's cheese had a world network and one particular customer was a little Chicago Pizzeria, Mario's World Famous (well, really just famous in the City area)
