Illustration Friday: Tension

'Hey! Back up, I got the mother load!'

It was my wife's birthday yesterday, and to celebrate I made her this card...there are speech bubbles on the card as well, but I have decided to present the illustration only for this one. She has had a little obsession with pallets so that we can make our own garden furniture and that, so I decided to draw a joke based on that! It went down really well!!

Illustration Friday's topic this week is TENSION and I thought I'd present this piece as it shows a lot of tension in the weight of the pallets on the forklift truck. Pretty simple reason really, but the simplest answers are often the best (if I don't say so myself!!).

Comments welcome...thanks!

Illustration Friday: Liquid


This week, Illustration Friday's topic is LIQUID and this got me instantly thinking about phobias and my own phobia about deep waters in the sea and about feeling trapped and alone in the darkness.

I think using the watercolours in this way have captured the initial 'hit' of being dropped into the deepest part of the ocean with the depths of the unknown laying below!

Comments welcome...thanks!

Illustration Friday: FUTURE



I did an illustration for a colleague at work recently. She asked for a Super-Cupcake for a friend's birthday. I came up with this and thought that this could very well be a character I could develop in the future and as soon as I thought that, it became the illustration for this week's ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY!


Enjoy, comments welcome...!

MAN OF STEEL



Very excited for June 14 and Man of Steel. In anticipation, I drew this which has Superman in his new threads! I really love this version of the costume.

Illustration Friday: TRIBUTE



This week on Illustration Friday, the theme is TRIBUTE. As I have been getting more and more into Game of Thrones, the idea above came to me while I was thinking through this piece. I was thinking of other sorts of tributes like those connected to sports heroes or war heroes, something a bit more political or current affairs, but then this idea just seemed more fun!

Hope you enjoy too...comments welcome.
