Illustration Friday: Surveillance

Bit of an obvious one, but this week's Illustration Friday topic, SURVEILLANCE, made me think back to my Uni days when I had to watch Gene Hackman in The Conversation - a film about spying and surveillance...I know I'm probably missing a trick what with everything that's been going on in the media spying-wise!

Illustration Friday: Sweet

'POUR THEM IN!'

This week's Illustration Friday topic is SWEET.

Just went and had a bit of fun with this. Chose the obvious route here, no massive thing to be said here, but fancied having a go at a retro style, 50s/60s sort of cartoon with the kid stuffing his face with Quality Streets!

Will try to push my ideas a bit further next week!

In other news, I have 3 comic projects on the go right now: The GeeBees #2, Sidekick #5 and a one-shot called User are currently at the 6 page stage with The GeeBees making the most progress having penciled all 9 pages in this chapter and still to ink 5 pages then colour the whole lot! Lots to do, on top of this I am working on a commission obtained by a contact I made at the Thought Bubble comic con in Leeds last November and a card for a friend's wedding!! Lots to tell, but little to show at this stage in the proceedings...look out for some snippets of things real soon!

Tata for now!

Illustration Friday: Tension

'Hey! Back up, I got the mother load!'

It was my wife's birthday yesterday, and to celebrate I made her this card...there are speech bubbles on the card as well, but I have decided to present the illustration only for this one. She has had a little obsession with pallets so that we can make our own garden furniture and that, so I decided to draw a joke based on that! It went down really well!!

Illustration Friday's topic this week is TENSION and I thought I'd present this piece as it shows a lot of tension in the weight of the pallets on the forklift truck. Pretty simple reason really, but the simplest answers are often the best (if I don't say so myself!!).

Illustration Friday: Liquid

This week, Illustration Friday's topic is LIQUID and this got me instantly thinking about phobias and my own phobia about deep waters in the sea and about feeling trapped and alone in the darkness.

I think using the watercolours in this way have captured the initial 'hit' of being dropped into the deepest part of the ocean with the depths of the unknown laying below!

Illustration Friday: FUTURE

I did an illustration for a colleague at work recently. She asked for a Super-Cupcake for a friend's birthday. I came up with this and thought that this could very well be a character I could develop in the future and as soon as I thought that, it became the illustration for this week's ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY!


Enjoy, comments welcome...!

MAN OF STEEL

Very excited for June 14 and Man of Steel. In anticipation, I drew this which has Superman in his new threads! I really love this version of the costume.
