In true Cornish fashion, there's going to be a gig in a Fish & Chip shop. Brilliant! www.duelingkazoos.com

Hohoho.

Christmas Cards

Image
Ok, so I might be feeling slightly festive! 

Cat Nap

Image
I'm not sure if this blog really needs another cat... but here's one anyway! I've been mixing traditional print processes with pencil crayon. Its so nice to draw just for fun.

'Angry Arthur' Children's Book

Image
Here's a sneaky peek at three of the final artworks from my dummy book...  It's the story of 'Angry Arthur', written by Hiawyn Oram. (The idea being that the storm literally builds up  inside of Arthur!)

Editorial Project

Image
Here's a quick editorial illustration. The article was called 'Making it pay as an intern', from the Guardian newspaper.  Is he really on the road to success...? (Poor little guy!)

Bottles

Quick project looking at bottles. This image looks at the different alcoholic percentages in popular drinks: Drink driving awareness campaign:

Chairs

Can you spot the odd one out? :-)

Animal Alphabet

Image
Its an Animal Alphabet! I settled with Unicorn for the letter 'U', and went with Xenarthra, an order of mammals comprising of the edentates, for the letter 'X' (explaining the Armadillo!). Hopefully you can work out the rest. :)

Triangles

Ok, starting simple. Triangles it is!

Vroom Vroom

It moooooves! I think its time to learn how to animate.

Excuse: This guy had to be drawn, he was posing!

Editorial Illustration

Image
So it is the end of the 1st year and to be perfectly honest, I think it went too quickly!  I thought I had better show a bit of course work from the final term, but don't worry another cat doodle will inevitably be on its way soon. These are a few images for an 'Applied Illustration' project, focusing on editorial illustration. Working conceptually has been brilliant fun, who'd have thunk? 'Unforgettable' - An article about a woman who is unable to forget. 'Dig Your Own Doctor' - An article about growing your own medicine. 'Can Worries Really Be Sealed In An Envelope?' - An article discussing methods of finding closure. 'Are Our Lives A Journey, A River, Or Perhaps A Pizza?' - An article philosophizing over the meaning of life.   And some sketch book thinking: Lots of ideas.

Cats on Bicycles.

Something I'd like to see more of.

Some guesstimation in life drawing:  Well atleast there is room for improvement!

Green Cat.

Image
Ok so my cat isn't actually green, but does tend to look this smug.

What do you call a short-sighted dinosaur?

Obsessively doodling buildings! 

Black Bears

Experimenting with quink ink and bleach, nice gold colour!

'Colonel Fazackerley Butterworth-Toast'

Image
This is my second attempt at a children's book, and this time its the rhyming story of 'Colonel Fazackerley Butterworth-Toast', and guess what, he lived in a castle complete with a ghost!  Somewhere along the line the Colonel became a beaver and the ghost became a wolf...
