giant

When faced with overwhelming odds, like a giant alien being, well, one does what one can....

Early

Illustration for IF. I took a worms eye view on the matter...

Equipment

Part of a story that i'm working on. It will see the light of day one day, so you can say you saw it here first! Needs rewriting. Again

leaving card

This was for an advert for Panther securities plc who were moving. I had to draw all of them, which was actually good fun. I think everyone recognized themselves. Or at least they didn't tell me. I once had to do caricatures at Wembley arena and I did a great picture of some bloke, it was about 10 lines and just got him perfectly. He was fuming like an onfire chimney, all his mates laughing. I thought he was going to punch me, but his mates laughter put him off. I found the drawing scrumpled up later in the toilet...

suitcases- perspective- brave

I think I can put this into 'IF', as doing something with such odd perspective not only challenges pre-formed notions, but is mentally stimulating too. As stated, this is one of 4, here is how the aw was done.
Having just seen that the topic is 'brave' this now has become a brave decision to carry on regardless.....

its been a while pt 2

Here's a blow up of one of the suitcases, its the first one, with blue

It's been a while...

No posts for ages. I'm just trying to get to grips with a project that I have been doing which is making suitcases. Well, the insides of them to be exact. 4 suitcases, showing a journey, all linked and including the lids. Its a tricky one to show. There are photos of them at Bridging arts blog:

whilst I try to make something to show them off!

skinny

Skinny latte means skinny figure doesn't it??

I had a few ideas, and then after those, I came up with this. Which I quite like!

Just had a moment, so I thought I'd post the aw!

flying

This is drawn from life. I'm sure. Didn't I see this up at Primrose hill or somewhere? I'll post the finished work when I get another moment to do it!

Heres the aw:

Fabulous Mr Fox

Have just done a whole load of illustrations for 'Fabulous Mr fox' by Roald Dahl for a youtube reading for Dad's reading to children awareness day. Really quick turnaround, but lots of fun to do. Can't wait to see it go live. I'll put a few up here as a taster

Tango

Here's a giant sized unfinished painting. Its gone through so many changes its ridiculous. Still needs work, but its one of those things, you change one bit , then another bit needs changing.....
anyway. Tango.

shaky

The sculptors grasp of what was required for the public art was seen by some to be a touch shaky

drifting

Ah, I can smell the salty air now, drifting through my hair (what's left of it...) Gulls circling overhead, bumping along with all the detritus in my little boat, looking for supper...

unfold

This was drawn from memory from an instruction leaflet on how to construct something which I can't quite recollect what but it must have been worth the hours of toil. Unfold first, and i'm sure it would work perfectly

craving

change of heart. I think I prefer this one...!
