The penultimate set of <a href="http://www.soreensquidgyfun.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Soreen Squidgy Fun</span></a> activity cards will be available to download this month. As I've said before if you have a young family this is a great resource for you and it's free. Once you've tried it you should let Soreen know what a great idea it was and that they should produce some more, providing they hire the same illustrator again. That's the important part. Without the same illustrator it's a deal breaker! Got it? Good!</div>

I was asked to rework an old design from two years back which I did for YMCA called Smart Start Club. They'd originally specified what they wanted in the design but the feedback regarding the knife throwing main character (Sporty), the elephant and the lion wasn't favourable. I think attitudes towards circus animal acts have changed over the past few years and as for the knife throwing perhaps some parents were concerned their kid would want to give hurling knifes a go! Whatever their reasons I was asked to make some changes and I was happy to help.<br />

After all it's not everyday you turn 28 (plus 9).<br />
<br />
I just found out I'll be working on some more Smart Start Club work for the YMCA. I thought I'd share some images from the previous project which went out to day care centres and was designed to get children active through play. Each card had a theme with an accompanying illustration on the cover. On the inside of the card you'd find the game.<br />

OK, I might be over selling it as all I have to show this week is work from the Skills 2 Play Sport project I'm working on. What can I say, I like a dramatic entrance. You should see me in real life. If I don't have a smoke machine and an AC/DC track to announce my entrance to a room I'd rather not enter!<br />
<br />
Skills 2 Play Sports is a set of resource cards designed to teach primary school kids a specific sport or set of skills. Since 2013 gymnastics, athletics and aquatics have been some of the skills covered. This current set I'm working on now is covering climbing and orienteering. As per usual I can't show any of the current set until it's launch but I can show some of the cards from the older sets.<br />
<br />
These cards are from the aquatic set. They had a specific style they wanted me to work to but it wasn't too far off what I did anyway so I had no problems adapting. The tricky thing for me was to fit all the activities into a small space whilst making it fun for the kids!<br />

I can honestly say I'm going to miss working on these and can only hope that they're popular enough to warrant more in the future. Hint hint hint! I can't show any new work until it's released online and I don't want to repeat myself as I spoke about this a couple weeks ago <a href="http://iansummersillustration.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/soreen-squidgy-fun.html"><span style="color: blue;">here</span></a>. Instead I'll share a piece I did for a friend back before Christmas.<br />
<br />
He wanted me to do a banner for <a href="http://riflemags.co.uk/"><span style="color: blue;">his business</span></a> which I dutifully did. I must admit working for a friend caused me a lot more stress as I did not want to disappoint. I'm happy to report that this wasn't the case. Well, he hasn't said anything to suggest this was the case and I'm happy to leave it that way!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK7uI99Z4VzqCVRDL-UHlM1M8g-3dVXMqoPxdt3ilFZUJPu8-fu3ys3jdJUkF6xsP4pMZyNb76sJNf8PP5kTDGF6bSNnQXabaTHx6bUeGRmGnMCzncS1YC8oK1M_A0lJhfE7glSO-c3nE/s1600/Final-art.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="321" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK7uI99Z4VzqCVRDL-UHlM1M8g-3dVXMqoPxdt3ilFZUJPu8-fu3ys3jdJUkF6xsP4pMZyNb76sJNf8PP5kTDGF6bSNnQXabaTHx6bUeGRmGnMCzncS1YC8oK1M_A0lJhfE7glSO-c3nE/s640/Final-art.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The reason I mention this now is that he recently posted it on his business <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RifleMags/"><span style="color: blue;">Facebook page</span></a> and it also conveniently gave me something to talk about seeing as I can't show any new Soreen work until April and May!<br />
<br />
As per usual if you want to see more of my work check out <a href="http://iansummers.co.uk/"><span style="color: blue;">my website</span></a> and remember to bookmark it. If you want to keep up to date with what I'm working on you can subscribe to this blog, follow me on <a href="https://twitter.com/IanSummersart"><span style="color: blue;">Twitter</span></a> and/or link to me on <a href="https://uk.linkedin.com/in/iansummersillustration"><span style="color: blue;">Linkedin</span></a>. If you have any projects you would like me to work on I'm available from early April so <a href="http://iansummers.co.uk/contact/"><span style="color: blue;">get in touch</span></a> and I'll pencil you in.<br />

I had a number of business consultations with a great guy at the end of 2015 who gave me much to think about in terms of running my business. One of his suggestions was to incorporate more of myself and my sense of humour in the promotion and presentation of my site as it was pretty sterile at the time. My contact page is still looking very plain so I designed this comic style illustration explaining the do's and don'ts of contacting me. What's nice about this in my humble opinion is that it will serve as my next promo piece I send out attached to emails. Two birds one shot gun. That's the saying right?<br />

Regardless of how successful this is as a promo piece is was fun to do. I'm fairly please with the unity of the colours which at first caused me some head aches.

I can't show any of that work here and now as these resources are not out until April 2016 and I don't want to end up on anyone's naughty list. I can however show a few bits and bobs from the previous resources which are available to download now.<br />
<br />
The purpose of these activity cards is to promote an active lifestyle to families. The following examples are from different cards and not in sequence.<br />

There has been a sea of distractions these past couple of weeks what with it being Christmas and new year. Oh, and some movie came out which I may or may not have seen on multiple occasions. With all this going on I haven't actually got much done, but it is the Holidays. The only guy working this time of year is Santa, and the folk at my local supermarket which seems a little unfair.<br />
<br />
In the last couple of days I have been thinking about the year gone by and what I would have liked to have done a little differently. The main thing was marketing, or to be precise the lack of marketing. Once work got under way everything else took a back seat. I don't want to come to the end of my current run of work and find that there's nothing on the horizon due to the fact that no one knows I exist. A mail out schedule has been written up starting this month with email samples. I wanted to start with postcard mailers but my past self sabotaged that plan by creating pieces of work which don't quite fit right on a postcard. That past me is such a ****. By next week I should have some samples ready to send off to a small number of potential clients. Gone are the days where I took a free style jazz approach to marketing. I'm not kidding. I used to throw stuff out there and hope it stuck.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18349183738548185323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688528476478605102.post-25594936638083798932015-12-29T08:53:00.001-08:002016-01-03T15:16:41.186-08:00Time management<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I would love to talk about how productive I've been this week but it's Christmas and like everyone else I've been sitting on my backside consuming my own body weight in food, and drinking my fair share of alcoholic beverages. I did however find the time in my not so busy holiday schedule to sit down and do a timetable. "Why" I hear you ask. "Surely it's a pointless exercise in procrastination." Well... yes, I guess it is so why the hell would I waste my time like this? There is some solid reasoning beyond not wanting to do any work at Christmas. For me it acts as a visual kick up the bum. January is really busy for me and I can't afford to switch off, not even for a day otherwise I'll be facing one of those 24 hour marathons to meet the deadline. Insert Danny Glover Lethal Weapon quote here.<br />

If you're wondering about the cartoon I thought I'd be fun to add a illustrated element to the post. An illustration blog which is just type would be like a burger restaurant without burgers. Madness!<br />

It's been a bloody age since I was last on here and I know you've all been waiting with baited breath for my next post. Well, rest at ease as after a year and half I am back. Where have I been? Glad you asked! Over the last year I've been really busy working on commissions and as is my way social media tends to take a back seat. I'm trying to get better at this as from a marketing point of view going quiet for over a year isn't great. The plan is to update this blog once a week (every Tuesday) with a new post. I've already got another blog but I felt it made sence having two. One for more business related posts. I.e. What type of marketing I'm having a crack at and how it's panning out. Stuff like that. The other as a check out my work type blog which <a href="http://iansummersartblog.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> is great for. So that'll be all the work I'm really pleased with mainly personal projects and fun illustrations. Why not follow both! See you next week and have a awesome Christmas!

I was asked by the lovely people at Left Lion to illustration two snooker players fighting with lightsaber cues. The piece accompanies two local players who's likenesses I've tried to capture. Lightsabers and cues are not two words I thought I'd utter in the same sentence.</div>

I went to a really fun Halloween party this weekend which put me in the mood to do a Halloween themed illustration!<br />
<br />
PS. I went to the party as Ash from the "Evil Dead". Why didn't I illustrate Ash?

Anyway, while I'm in such a good mood I thought I'd share a really great website called <a href="http://www.characterdesignpage.com/">"Character Design Page."</a></span></div>

"Character Design Page" shines the spotlight on some of the best character design talent in the business. Not only the big names like Stephen Silver but one's who you may never have heard of, especially if like me you're an outsider looking into that particular market. For me it's a great resource, not only for the inspiration it gives me but also for the insightful process videos they share. If you're an illustrator then you should really take a look. </div>

Have a great weekend everyone!<br />

Classic wrestler number 5 was my personal favourite. The British Bulldog. I think I nailed the likeness on this one!<br />

Jake 'The Snake' Roberts. Wrestler number 4. This project seemed like a great idea at the time but getting the likenesses right is proving to be the most time consuming part of this venture. I think I've got close!

The lovely people at Pampling have selected my design "Police Line up" as their classic winner, which I'm well chuffed with. I have been reliably informed that it'll be on sale this month.

Classic wrestler number 3! Andre the Giant.<br />
<br />
You may have seen Andre in the classic movie "The Princess Bride" as Fezzik. If not why not. Stop what you're doing, get it and watch it!<br />
<br />
PS. I got some great tips from <a href="http://ctrlpaint.com/">Ctrl Paint</a> for this doodle. Well worth a look.
