Illustration Friday - Stretch

Not the most inventive response to the topic I admit but I wanted to have a go at drawing some facial expressions and expressive body postures. I think I've nailed a big yawn!

Those of you coming directly from Illustration Friday will notice that the colours have changed and that there's an amendment to the nostril. There's a lesson to be learnt here. Never rush uploading otherwise you'll miss mistakes (like the nostril) and you'll suddenly decide it needs a colour change. Thus endeth the lesson!

Illustration Friday - Haunt

Hello! My third post in three consecutive weeks. Can I keep it up for four weeks? Tune in and find out! Anyway, enough rambling from me. This is my response to the Illustration Friday topic 'Haunt'. I thought about going down the silly road with a big crazy ghost but decided at the last minute to try something else and I'm glad I did. I hope you like it!

Illustration Friday - Water

Slowly but surely I'm getting back into the blogging habit. Here's a little illustration for Illustration Friday's topic 'Water' which I hope you like. Right, I'm off to play football in the freezing cold.

Illustration Friday - Lost

My last two Illo Friday submissions have had an outdoors feel, which is going to lead people to thinking I'm a lover of outdoor activities. I'm not. I would like to be but I live in the UK and being cold and wet go hand in hand with the outdoors. I don't think I've cleverly interpreted the subject but sometimes it's best to keep things simple.

Illustration Friday - Suspend

After seeing how utterly crushed Andy Murray was after loosing to the tennis cyborg Roger Federer I thought I'd cheer him up by posting an Illustration Friday submission. I'm fairly certain he's a fan. I didn't really give myself a lot of time to get this done hence the very basic background but considering I've had the Moto GP, the British Grand Prix and Wimbledon men's final fighting for my attention I'm pleased with how much I got done. I hope it cheers you up to!

Illustration Friday - Hurry!

I've been a very lazy blogger of late so allow me to amend this by showing you my latest Illustration Friday piece. To those familiar with my work you'll notice a slight change from the norm. I'm trying a few things out as I felt I needed a revamp. I hope this pleases your eyeballs!

Illustration Friday - Round

My response to Illustration Friday's topic round. The greatest technological breakthrough since fire. THE WHEEL! This is my imagining of a stone age tech trade fair. I hope you like it!

Illustration Friday - Vanity

This is my submission for the Illustration Friday topic vanity. I'd love some feed back on this as I'm thinking I need to change something about my work. If you have any thoughts on stylistic improvements I'd love to hear them!

IF - Stripes. Work in progress

Try as I might I didn't get around to finishing this weeks IF illustration on Stripes. You'll have to settle for a work in progress unfortunately. I hope you like it!

IF - Scary

My latest IF contribution on the topic scary. My friend has been waxing lyrical about his new 3D TV which is where the idea came from. I hope you like it!

IF-ferocious

Hello. I had a very busy weekend with the highlight being a £6.00 gig at Rescue Rooms which featured Yunioshi, and Swimming. Two great live acts and a really great night out. It was also my friends 33rd birthday and we went out into to town and watched him make tit of himself!

I went a little off topic there as this post it about the Illustration Friday submission for ferocious and not my weekend activities. It's unfinished and may remain this way depending on how busy I am. I was planning on adding an audience. It was going to be the usual ferocious lion but then I thought who's more ferocious the lion or the nut job with the bull whip and chair. You decide!

IF - Mesmerizing

Hello! I have had very indulgent weekend involving take out meals, pub lunchs and a restaurant. Infact I don't think I cooked once. It was worth the belly ache as I got to catch up with some of my old University pals, some of which I haven't seen for a good long time. This social and greedy weekend is the main reason that my Illustration Friday submission this week is a little sparse! Anyway I hope you like it. Mesmerizing.

Illustration Friday - Boundaries

Hello! Off the back of an anti social but relaxing weekend I feel quite refreshed and ready for work. So without further ado I give you my latest Illustration Friday contribution. The topic is boundaries. The river Styx was considered a boundary between the land of the living and the land of the dead. It was vitally important to make sure the recently deceased had correct change for the ferryman.

Illustration Friday - Disguise

I thought I'd get back into working on the Illustration Friday topic every now and then. This weeks topic was disguise and it reminded me of one of my first commissions for Business Franchise way back when. It was of two kids trying to get into a cinema in disguise. The topic also reminded me of when I tried unsuccessfully to get tickets for Terminator 2. I was convinced that wearing a baseball cap backwards somehow made me look older.

Illustration Friday: Confined

Illustration Friday topic: Confined.

Illustration Friday: Hatch

Infidelity is terrible thing. Especially if a kid's involved.



I hope you all like my take on this weeks topic "Hatch."

Illustration Friday: Crunchy

I wanted to get this finished up and coloured before posting it but I'm going to be a little busy next week. I always end up forgetting to finish off work for Illustration Friday so this is my compromise. I hope you don't mind a doodle!

Illustration Friday: Wrapped

Illustration Friday topic "Wrapped". I hope you all like it!

Illustration Friday: Impatience

A quick piece of work for the Illustration Friday project. I'm going to put a little more work into it later on, but this will do for now!
