Back when young people actually used Facebook (2009), this slide I made of what Panizziā€™s might have looked like went down quite well in Cataloguing class ā€¦

Mock-up of what Anthony Panizziā€™s Facebook might have looked like.

Learning to draw and paint is a wild ride in terms of the order in which pennies drop. Friday evening life drawing at the National Portrait Gallery focused on outlines, contours and shapes reinforced by this wonderful portrait of Vanessa Bell by Roger Fry in Beyond Bloomsbury at the Garden Museum.

Life-drawing with red and green oil pastels, of a seated woman with long hair. No facial features shown.
Vanessa Bell sewing in her garden by Roger Fry. No facial features are shown but it is recognisable as her.

My cartoon for this weekā€™s Guardian Books.

Panel one:

Two small figures stand before a huge machine.

One says ā€œOur startup has innovated the human writer out of the publishing process. This machine can write sixty-five books an hour.ā€

A conveyor belt at the front of the machine dispatches a continuous stream of books.

Panel two:

They walk across the workshop.
The second figure, who is reading one of the books, says ā€œbut will people actually want to read this stuff?ā€

Panel three:

They have reached a second huge machine. 

ā€œThe real beauty of our integrated systemā€ says the first figure ā€œis that it also frees companies from the tyranny of human readersā€. 

A conveyor belt at the front of the machine dispatches a continuous stream of robot readers, happily consuming the content from the other machine.
