CHARLIE CONDOU

'THE WOLFMAN'

Mark M. Merrett [@MarkMMerrett] graphic artist of Croydon London has been slowly developing a large fantasy tableau featuring Charlie Condou, Russell Tovey, Sinead Keenan and others for the Tovey & Condou blog sites.

Above: Charlie Condou in the process of ripping off his clothes to become a fully-fledged werewolf, as realised by Mark M. Merrett [@MarkMMerrett] graphic artist of Croydon London.

Above is Mark's first CGI version of Charlie Condou mid-transformation from human to wolf. The final version will be clad with more adornments. I can't show you the complete draft picture here as the bottom half is a naked Charlie in all his glory as nature intended.

Mark Stobbart

PaulBurston

PaulBurston: Great piece on gay parenting by @Charliecondou in today's Gardian

Charlie Condou

Charliecondou: @PaulBurston I tried to get a mention of my trackie bottoms in the article, but it just didn't seem relevant

PaulBurston

PaulBurston: @Charliecondou now you have a weekly column, I'm sure you can squeeze it in. I already know all about Tim Dowling's domestic arrangements.

Glinner

Glinner: This piece by @Charliecondou is lovely bit.ly/ou9Iko

Charlie Condou

Charliecondou: @Glinner Thanks G x

Glinner

Glinner: @Charliecondou great read. Hey, I recommend the site 750 words. Might be useful to you with the new column

Charlie Condou

Charliecondou: @Glinner 750 words? What is it

Glinner

Glinner: @Charliecondou it turns writing 750 words a day into a habit. They don't have to be any good, you just have to hit that number.

Glinner

Glinner: @Charliecondou even though quality is not the issue, I've gotten two sketches and a blog post out of it already

Charlie Condou

Charliecondou: @Glinner great idea. A weekly column is fucking terrifying me

Tracey Thorn

tracey_thorn: @gracedent @salihughes @caitlinmoran I've never tasted it. What put me off as a child was the fact it had the word SALAD in it.
