Mind The Skirting Boards

Malcolm is a terror. Whizzing down the corridors and popping wheelies in his mobility scooter in the sleepy retirement home in Oswaldtwistle. The Matron is for ever yelling after him to mind the skirting boards.


Not that he hears her - he's as deaf as a post. Mobility Malcolm is available to buy along with the retro Bloomin 70's wallpaper.

I've coloured Malcolm and his transport with Promarkers and added glossy accents over his glasses. Wallpaper is the Bloomin 70's papers which I've turned into wallpaper. Skirting board made by me and the wonderful carpet is actually felt. Pictures I found in my stash.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Ohh La La: A Step Back In Time (just look at the wallpaper!)
Squigglefly: Masculine
Joanna Sheen: Boys Will Be Boys
Oozak: Anything Funny

    I just love this! The image is great and expertly colored, but the background with the framed pictures hanging on the wall is pure genius! Thanks for playing in Squigglefly's challenge this week!
