Blind Elephant final quote fo 2011

I have illustrated my final quote for 2011 for http://blindelephantillustrationcollective.blogspot.com/ 

The quote is 'Fashion is a form of uglisness so intolerable that we have to alter it every 6 months' by Oscar Wilde. I have other ideas for illustrating this quote but I went for the photoshopery for a change.

The new list for 2012 is ready to be illustrated now and its gonna be fun getting my teeth into! Keep an eye on the elephants. We have a show coming up in January.

Ink illustrations

I have had a busy week in general and creatively, hence all of the blog posts. The latest challenge I have set myself is to capture an expression of thinking in my ink drawings, I have always liked capturing expressions.


Us and Them

 Adaptations of a recent piece I did. It represents the current political climate.

Latest ink illustrations

Here are two illustrations that I have done recently. 
I really enjoy the luxury of having the time to just experiment with illustration. I almost feel guilty about it because seems so indulgent. 
Well it is the season for indulgence so im off to a good start.

Todays Inspirations and ruminations,




Lasso Christmas cards



A few cards that I made last week using mainly the lasso tool on Photo Shop and some pattern. I like the free, simple hapazard look that the lasso tool can create and that there is no outline. Just experimenting really.
