Your Macaroni has been Aligned.
I expect you to understand that this is an act you should appreciate, because it took a great deal of effort and time.
(This is sometimes what it’s like, having Bu in the house.)

“The Importance of the Keys.”
A significant position in Caber society is that of the Keeper, who ensures that everything is in its right place.
There are older mysteries still, behind the position. It is a great responsibility, and taken quite seriously.

A Demise most Imminent.
Few things in life are more loud and chaotic (and short-lived!) than a balloon making first contact with a group of small Cabers.
The excitement is palpable!

A Very Scientific Discussion.
- Fairly self-explanatory, I think!

“Egg Nerds.”
A long established source of great discussion is the appropriate amount of time in which to boil an egg perfectly. Never mind that tastes are personal, there will always be a Caber somewhere willing to talk your ear off about it.

“The Controlled Spread.”
The Caber Scientists are nothing if not methodical, although the things which they are methodical about, vary wildly!

Hello, it me and a representation of how I relate to coffee. Currently channelling the one in the background..!
Star-gazing in the Caberoi culture.
Their view of the night sky is somewhat adjacent to ours, but the names are a little different.
The Shopping Trolley (or Shopping Cart, depending on your region of dialect), is located in what we know as the constellation of Canis Major.
(A handy reference guide to its location. ;) )
Corner of Fish Street, Fishtown.
On the West Coast of the main body of Caberworld, just a little up from the centre line, there is a delightful little town.
Known for its varied restaurants (predominantly catering to those with a palate for all things piscine!), Fishtown is also popular with those who seek a little break from the main city further down the coast.
It’s beaches are peaceful and sunny, good for a bit of a paddle and a splosh. There are several small hotels that take in the fresh salt air, good for a relaxing snooze. (Even slightly taller hotels for those of a more human persuasion!)
A bit of a boardwalk rounds out the rest of the sea breeze benefits, with a winding pier attached.
In the winter months it is somewhat less active, but the fish dishes are good all year round!
I enjoyed the challenge of constructing this urban perspective!
I am quite fond of double vanishing-points, but haven’t really tried it in pen and ink before. This marks the second illustration in a larger scale with numerous Cabers. :)
(The starting point of this image stems from a challenge to be inspired by a somewhat maligned band.. (reasons only known to Rob himself!) I was stumped, until I looked at some of their album covers! :D)

Traversing the Square.
With the challenge of 5 hours to make it, this piece finally got done, with the target being a bunch of Cabers walking back and forth across the page - and some on wheels - or not-wheels as the case may be!
I enjoy the challenge of drawing all those feet and matching them to their bodies!
So yes. Cabers, traversing!

Here is a snippet of the Cabergame in motion! (a.k.a. “Happy Funtime Pop Balloon.” :D)
(edit - I see that the little films from Instagram don’t cross-post so well - a pity!)One of the highlights for me, from 2020, was being able to bring the Cabers to life in not only animated form and illustrated storytelling, but also in an interactive style as well!
One of the last weekly challenges of the year had the theme of “Collaboration.”
I teamed up with caLLowCreation, (a delightful coder/programmer - and poet! - who streams on Twitch), who generously pitched in his Unity coding skills which we combined with my artwork/audio contributions, to make a little clicking game.
(The original inspiration for this, comes from the illustration “A Demise Most Imminent.” :) )
It is now available to play at https://callowcreation.itch.io/cabergame
Note - not quite phone-friendly just yet (although doable!), but fine on most computers and iPads. :)
Also, thank you all for the support you have given me through this past year! I hope this little sandbox game provides a happy moment of distraction and balloon-popping joy. :)
May you have a year of happiness from unexpected places!

Caber Discotheque.
a.k.a. Caber! At the Disco,
a.k.a. Caber! Caber! High Voltage!
In the more urban places of the Caberworld, sometimes you may hear a faint pulsing beat, and see a little ramp leading down to an underground space where the floors are lit, and the mirror-balls BIG.
Cabers may not be known for their musical skills, or even their musical taste, but they certainly appreciate the efforts of others.
It is probably music that is the greatest thing they appreciate from our own world.
Humans are welcome to partake in the dancing at such places, but it is advised to be mindful of one’s head clearance, especially near the giant mirror ball.
There are two main styles of dance among the Caber people - the vigorously head nodding & booty shaking type as illustrated above; and the elegant step-bob-&-weave numbers that are generally a slower and more classical form of dance, reserved for more stately occasions.
(The latter may also be accompanied by the wearing of elaborately crafted headpieces!)
.
.
(This piece was definitely heavy on the colouration overload, and also so.many.feet!!! I would love to revisit the dance styles in an animation, someday. :) )

* For those who are eagle of eye, the poster behind the speaker is indeed that of “Mr Tootle”, as seen in another illustration called “Record Collection” earlier in the Instagram collection. :D

The Assorted Ties of Dappy Squanks.
A small entrepreneurial caber, with a passion for brightly coloured silk ties, Dappy deals in the organisation of boxes of stuff, and occasional things.
Buttons, scratch blocks, bathtubs, vinyl records, duck-feed - if it needs sourcing, Dappy is the tastefully attired Caber-of-Business for you! :)

Never leave a plate overhanging a bench…

“You are Oversleeping.”
(Reposted without the filter!)
Promised I would do this when the 30 day span was over. :)

An Egregious Waste of Toast.
The Smalls are doing what young Caberoi do best - making a mess in pursuit of some esoteric goal or other.
In this case, the goal is not to jump, when the toaster goes “pop.”
I am also now out of bread, and the resultant plethora of cold toast all over the floor is not exactly edible either. Thank you, Smalls…
