Illustration Friday: Help





I rushed this week a bit so I could get a post in since I haven't done so in a while...christmas means I get loads of work at the shop which is great for [resent buying, but bad for my head. Anyway, I drew this for HELP as it comes from a line in a Snow Patrol song "How to be Dead" it's the very last line "Dr Jekyll is wrestling Hyde....for my pride" It's one of my favourite songs at the moment, and whilst I haven't done it justice just yet, I wanted to share it...hopefully in the new year I'll get some time to rework it and make it to my standard. I've put in three images, the rough, a concept painting (my wacom tablet went funny so the pen pressure didn't work) and a flash drawing.

Illustration Friday: Invention


I had several ideas this week for an illo, however due to lack of time I resorted to a few quick sketches of my dogs post operation. They got desexed on Tusday and now have to wear big buckets on their collars. These are both blessing and nightmare. Whilst they offer great amounts of hilarity to look at, and manage to stop the dogs from getting at their stiches, it really screws up their periferal vision and so they manage to crash a lot. At first this was sooo funny and provided a great deal of entertainment...they really hurt when the dog comes hurtling towards you and doesn't know when to stop. I've been knocked over a number of times...and this is with the dogs on sedatives....so here is my "invention"!
