The Beany is artist and author Michael Nobbs' illustrated journal. Slow down, draw and drink tea. Follow Michael's drawing adventures as he searches for the perfect pen, drinks plenty of tea, and does his best to come to terms with the need to lead a slower, more contemplative life after he is diagnosed with ME/CFS. This tenth anniversary edition of the original The Beany #1 is in full colour for the first time.
Michael Nobbs is a full-time artist, blogger and tea drinker (not necessarily in that order). He is author of the popular blog, Sustainably Creative and writes, tweets and podcasts about drawing and trying to keep things simple.
In the late 1990s he was diagnosed with ME/CFS and over the last decade and a half he has learnt a lot about sustaining a creative career with limited energy.
