Colin the Gnome.

Hero of the forest wars with the Nothern Gnomes.

Keeper of the Secret Sword of Nature.

Husband to Mathilda.

Farther to his children.

Slightly lost in his own backyard...........

 

I thought I'd better try out my Christmas present of watercolours. Here is a result of sorts....

Phew, its good to be back! Now if only I could add links I could help our fiend, erm, I mean friend ’Congrats’ out. Hmmm.

Maybe this will work... <a href="http://www.spellcheck.net/" target="_blank">Free Spell Check!</a>

Nope. That don’t not work then...

45 Dave Cripps replies: "I can see you’re struggling there Chris. Soon I think Sir Kenth will be looking into it. You could offer your services. Oh hang on missing comedy links to nowhere...."

Cool. Someone could maybe let him know that transparent png’s don’t work on ’the worlds most popular browser’ too. Make site look a bit messy...

45 Dave Cripps replies: "You know, even though I know what you’re talking about, I don’t know what you’re talking about. You mean Internet Explorer? And all it’s little quirks and amusing foibles? "

So cool!

Yes, the evil that is Internat Explarer. Actually to be fair they do work in the swanky new IE7 - the one thats a rip of of firefox with a hidden history button and other annoyances. I’m keeping it real with IE6 on my machine.

Not that Colin cares for all this technobabble, hes got better things to do with his time...

:-) Dave Cripps replies: "Yeah speak to Mathilda she knows all about t’internet. She uses Firefox... ahem..."

Somehow he does not look all too happy... maybe he is on his way back home from fishing without having cought anything - again? Maybe he might try using his secret sword for hunting crayfish! Hey - well, would you mind trying to paint this? Colin the Gnome hunting Carl the Crayfish? On the other hand - maybe Mathilda would hate me for that suggestion.
Anyway - Great Picture!

:-) Dave Cripps replies: "I can see it now a Gnome in battle with a crayfish. Well lets make it a lobster just for added drama. 12 "

I can see it now... ’We’re gonna need a bigger boat...’

45 Dave Cripps replies: "Does that mean the musical version of Jaws is not going to be done?
What about musical Quantum Leap?
With the song ’Gushi centre me on Sam’"

Interesting way there are only 3 trees yet the brushsrokes point at more.

45 Dave Cripps replies: "Must have been doing something right then. Thanks."

aaah, he looks very cute2! somehow his front side is missing but that fact makes him look more interesting...2 i like the colouring2!

45 Dave Cripps replies: "LOL He’s not as cute as magical Trevor though. Everyone loves him."

ahh, cute little gnome, that’s a funny word, GNOME.

12 Dave Cripps replies: "Gnome. There’s a lot of bad jokes with Gnome in them. And bad songs.... David Bowie anyone? (Though the Pink Floyd one is good)"
