118 - Zebra
I was exhausted when I started this and really wasnt happy with the shape. I thought it was going to be a disaster as I was barely able to keep my eyes open.
By the time I had put down nearly all the lines though the whole thing seemed to fall into place and the shape just materialised.
This was done in fineliner with pencil outline rubbed out on a very old postcard bought in a charity shop

117 - Sleepless Nights in London Town
From Saturday 6th to Tuesday 9th August 2011, riots gripped the UK. Starting from a seemingly innocuous protest in Tottenham, North London, gangs soon started to rampage the streets, smashing in windows and setting fire to buildings
The police response was baffling, as they seem to have been caught completely unprepared and there were reports that they stood by as looters looted and torched buildings.
These were troubling times, and many of us in London were gripped to the news reports, hoping against hope that the rioters would get arrested and London would get back to being the greatest city in the world once again.
But as days went on and the police looked impotent night after night, the riots spread across the UK. Londoners were gripped with fear and I admit to having sleepless nights worrying about the safety of my family and our homes.
This piece is an image of that insomnia, drawn on an article about immigrants in one of the most conservative of newspapers, The Daily Mail, which I detest.
This recent wave of civil unrest is complex and unless the government do something to address the widening gap between rich and poor and stop excluding large swathes of society from participating, I'm sure we will see more sleepless nights here in London

I'm skipping #181 because I forgot to take a picture of it and the person I sent it to isn't at home this week. But I can't wait to post any longer. I feel weird without doing it. So here we go:
