Cartoonist Matt Pritchett takes us through a typical day

Funny video from Birdbox Studio.

Few days ago, I went to my friend Andrew (aka Drewscape)'s place to watch how he grinds and modifies a Pilot Parallel Pen.

He's an amateur pen grinder so we made this video to show you how to or not to grind a Parallel Pen.

This is why I draw.

Watch Krzysztof Kowalski paint watercolour charts

He's brave to do what he do.

"George Butler is an artist and illustrator specialising in travel and current affairs. His drawings, done in situ are in pen, ink and watercolour.

In August 2012 George walked from Turkey across the border into Syria, where as an unofficial guest of the rebel Free Syrian Army he spent 4 days drawing the civil war damaged, small and empty town of Azaz. 6 months later he made a similar trip back to Syria to record the stories amongst the refugees and the field hospitals. These drawings were reproduced by the Times, the Guardian, Evening Standard, Der Spiegel, ARD television Germany, NPR (USA) and reported on the BBC World News, BBC World Service, CNN twice, Al Arabiya and Monocle Radio.

However, his sense of adventure did not start here - since leaving Kingston university, drawing has taken George around the world, depicting the oil fields in Azerbaijan, soldiers in Afghanistan, reconstructive plastic surgery, G20 riots, the New York Fire Department and Asian Elephants."

Jake Parker was in Singapore a few days ago. He was here to teach a course. Watch the video to see what he was up to.

I've finally filled up the Pentalic cotton watercolour journal that I reviewed a few weeks ago. It took me more than two months to fill 48 pages which I consider to be an achievement because I usually take longer unless I'm on a sketching trip.

Here's a video flip through of my sketchbook.
