you always need a hook: 2012 work preview 2

This is my second 2012 preview of my new work, 'you always need a hook' a piece inspired by
my favourite bad guy Captin hook. Along with developing my
new style I am also trying to learn caligraphy as I think it is an essential skill to have
these days.


2012 personal work taster

Recently I feel I have been spending a bit too much time on my commercial work and not
enough time on my own personal work. Back last year whilst at Uni I
created a little character which the folks at Anorak Magazine loved I developed it a little
but as it didn't really fit in well with my project I left it to the side
but the other day I came across some of my sketches of it and got really inspired to use him/ it.
However I decided to change him from a simple pen drawing into a full colored
and shaded illustration. Above is the little character Im looking to develop a few more similar
little characters and put them in various little scenes and see where it takes me.
2012 looks to be an intresting year

jama masjid delhi

Recently I found after completing an image, I would get bogged down with the color as I was doing full color along with tones ect ect. But after my last little stint (see last post) of going to back to coloring in the traditional way using merely colored pencils I found it helped free up my coloring and I have now started using the same free more loose style of coloring on photoshop. Which I am happy to say has really worked well on this image of Jama Masjid Delhi. Can't wait to do another building in this style. More work SOON

Tattoo Parlour.


Recently I have been trying to find intresting images that are challenging to
illustrate. And I found this image of a tattoo parlour, which at first
was a struggle but as I went on in the process began to enjoy.

LADY OF RAGE

Recently I realized I have only been drawing males, so Im about to switch that up right now!
And to start with I thought Id go with Mrs Afropuffs ... The Lady of Rage

"Let me loosen up my bra strap
'An let me hit you with my raw rap"

I'm also trying to merge in my push and pull style with my coloring, like leaving her hair and
the microphone uncolored - which gives the image a nice balance.

If you've forgot about the Lady, or you don't know about the Lady
or you just wana hear a DOPE song..

X-factor experiment



This is my continuation of my new style, testing my self to keep the caricature element in the image but stil making sure each of the characters where reconisable. Then making sure the color mixed in well with the shading and cross hatching. And the final outcome I am very happy with.

More work soon

Would you let your daughter marry a rolling stone?

Recently I've really been getting back into the Rolling Stones, from re-listening to all their classics to re-reading Keith Richards Autobiography and now Ronnie Woods so I decided to do a recent picture of them, with Andrew Oldmans old headline he thought up for the Rolling Stones when they first came out.

The reason I colored them each different colors is to show their very different personalities Charlie Watts on the left the chilled out very straight drummer, Keith Richards the king of Rock and Roll, devil like almost immortal Rock and Roll Legend, Mick Jagger the camp front man with his ever changing personality depending who he is around - and finally Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards little brother type of figure, a chilled out verious of Keith hence the orange, quite a few shades of Keiths red.

And finally the green in Keiths ring representing his and Micks ever lasting relationship or as they call it a marriage
