I've had the pleasure to stay a few times in Beckenham, and used to walk past a cute little bed and breakfast on Coper's Cope Road, up from the train station. Unfortunately, I belive the neat little place full of nooks and crannies, and plaster walls, and old paintings of English Hunting Scenes is to be gutted and turned into condominiums. This saddened me, so I wanted to pay tribute to the place. At first I wanted to do a painting, and so took some nice pictured of the place. However, since I'm a Cartoonist by nature, I began to create an occupant of the place... a strange occupant.
The Wolfman of Beckenham, Kent is his story, and the story is my tribute to the Goodwood Private Hotel, and all of the other lovely places like it that are losing their charm so that they can become part of the modern world.
Here is the cover of the story, and here is the link to the story. It's FREE, so please check it out. While you're there, check out our other fine offerings, including a fine poster print of the cover to The Wolfman of Beckenhem, Kent, complete with blue MINI cooper. :0)
Cheers, JOHN :0)

Condominiums? They're going to turn the place into a giant salt and pepper pot?
Condominiums, not condiments!
Although, seeing some of the new structures that are dotting London's skyline, a huge salt and pepper set wouldn't be too out of place.
Maybe they could out them next to that giant egg shaped building, and Heinz could build a giant ketchup bottle shaped building behind it?
Tasteless, to be sure, but maybe London would finally get on the cover of Food and Wine? :0)

That giant egg-shaped building (if it's the one I'm thinking of) is already known around Britain as the Gherkin...so you never know.
