Interval & Showreel stills

showreel still

Busy with lots of flash work and design layouts at the moment. In the meantime here are some more stills from my ongoing, expanding in complexity exponentially, showreel.

I'm not sure how much of this will make the cut but they're nice enough experiments by themselves and will be used eventually.

Back soon.

Washed Out

Wash-out-full

Another week over and another drawing finished.

Also, today I discovered yet again that you should never, ever go food shopping when your hungry and hungover at the same time.

That is all.

Illustration Friday - Focused

Bug eyed monster

A tight spot that no amount of focus is going to get you out of. Quite a different style for me and something I'll be expanding upon.

(Yes, yes, yes I'm aware it's a teensy bit phallic. I just fancied doing something different. I'm more worried that I decided to cover it with boiling eyes and leave it stranded in a sea of fire.)

Flat out

Flat-out

This weeks scribble drawing. The closer I get to finishing the book the more I find I want to add to it. Still, I'm quite productive at the moment and on track to finish the drawings soon.

Sketchbook pick 4

Hiero-fish

Fishes! These were drawn for a record cover but taken out at the last minute. A tea stained, crumpled piece of paper for the background.

Now, a day of drawing and designing with one eye on the Chilcot inquiry.

The Murray Returns

The Murray Returns

This picture is all over the BBC website right now because some Scottish British geezer has a chance of winning something or other. Anyway it reminded me of that bloke from 'The Mummy Returns'*.

*I clicked a few buttons in Photoshop before posting this image but really didn't change it that much. Honest.

Prisoners

I liked the idea with this one but thought it wouldn't be improved with detail. This is the original sketch with some colour added to the scan.

Escape Tower

Escape Tower

Another scribble book image finished. These images are from an 80 page sketckbook I started over 10 years ago. I should finally finish it in the next month or so and will probably publish something through lulu or blurb later this year.

Stickmen-poses

The multi-talented and devious stick man in various guises. Possibly my first and last Bernie Clifton reference.

And with that, I'm away to scheme in London for the afternoon.

Ah the weekend.
