# Bum Man [safe!]

Lucy has been drawing 'Bum Man' since the early 1990s. A man who is primarily a bum, he "came to her in a dream". She used to keep paper beside her bed so she could draw him when she woke up. Here's the latest.

Bum Man's antics usually reflect what's going on in our own lives. It's nice to look back through the archives, which are at [bum-man.com.au](https://bum-man.com.au) or on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/_bumman/).

If you're in Australia, you can buy a colouring book, professionally printed in Fitzroy, VIC. The lovely people at POP Canberra (now POP Local, they went nationwide) [stock it here](https://www.poplocal.com.au/product/bum-man-colouring-book/?variant=DOJUGDH7H37RVZO4STYWXQEK&pid=UDLG3BUBEDAQRPUG3U5AMZ2Q). A great Christmas gift. :-)

That's all. He's too cheerful not to share.
