Janey Godley (1961-2024)

Hello everyone. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I know its late to say this, but I had been busy....

... and not 100%.

2024 turned out to be my least productive year for .... reasons.

Regular readers would know that I usually publish a Christmas card every year. I did think about making one, but ... reasons. When I finally got around to considering making one for 2024 I found some sad news. Comedian Janey Godley had passed away, due to cancer.

Back in 2016 Janey Godley and her daughter Ashley Storrie, chaired a stand-up comedy workshop organized by the National Autistic Society Scotland. The goal of it was to get a group of autistic adult to perform a routine in the Scottish Parliament. I was one of them. It was a great time. I enjoyed every minute of it. 

I'm glad I met her (and Ashley). 

Some time ago I had an idea for an Inktober challenge to draw comedians, with Janey included on the list. I actually told Ashley (via Facebook) the idea. But it didn't happen.

Its from this dormant idea that I drew this tribute to Janey. 

Hope you like it.
