Drawing: Possible causes of your problems. I've been appalled at the scenes we've witnessed over the last few days. It's utterly unacceptable that people should have to live in fear because of the colour of their skin.

@davewalker Your excellent work reminds me of another artist / cartoonist who used to have a regular column (many years ago) in the Observer Magazine, I think, called 'the elements of wisdom' - but I can't remember his name... Can anybody else?

@davewalker @Coolmccool @tiny_m And don't miss Tim's seminal, and still fascinating, Secret Life of Machines TV series, which has been uploaded to his youtube channel. He's even added a little epilogue to each episode, talking about the filming process and how the technology has changed since the 80s/90s. Which is often surprisingly little.

@GlasWolf @davewalker @Coolmccool He is a personal hero of mine. My mum used to take us to the automaton museum in convent garden that had a couple of his pieces when I was a kid. I've always really loved any kind of mechanics so it was proper magic to me. Then years later my husband and I came across his machines again on Southwold pier. It's just the most amazing stuff and I love that he makes this crazy weird stuff just for the joy of it. It properly inspires me to keep making things.

@tiny_m @davewalker @Coolmccool He's such a good educator too. SLoM is just a joy to watch for all ages. There are multiple comments on every episode on youtube from people saying he inspired them to become engineers of one sort or another. An incredible legacy, and it's great that he's still creating things.
