Digging Up the Past.

I haven't posted anything for a little while so I thought I'd sort through some old files and post a few examples of previous work. The above is a mixture of old work created for both University and real life clients (yes, including McDonalds - but no matter what you think I still have a soul). Like I mentioned before, my usual style is often quite tight and controlled - I'm constantly trying to break away from this.

I'll have something new soon ... just gotta finish painting the lounge first.

The Blue Bar.

While I've become a huge fan of Macs over the years I'm very much not a fan of my very lame G4 at work. I have spent far too many frustrating hours sitting and watching the blue bar extend during rather dull loading and saving times. However, the upside is, during these times I get to waste company stationary drawing stupid things. Above is a collection of a few random pages from my note pad.

Lets hope 'The Man' sorts himself out soon and hooks us up with the new Macs we've been asking for (note: I said Macs - not PCs).

Testing 123.

Alright, here's something I've been working on these last 2 nights. Again I didn't use my new scanner at all (the only thing I've used it for so far is as an excuse). The whole thing was pretty much illustrated using just my Wacom tablet - which I've never really done before. This is also probably a lot looser than I'm used to working, so it's been quite experimental. It's not perfect but again, I'm pretty happy with the result considering all things.

I might post up some older stuff soon, so you have some idea as to where I'm coming from.

Pretty Things.

Finally, my first post with some images, and I didn't even use my scanner to make them (which is now working, by the way).

These were created for a friend at work, her younger brothers were having birthday parties and they both needed some cool invites made up. The concepts aren't entirely orginal, but for only a few hours work I'm pretty happy with the results. And I got a nice thank you letter and some cake for payment too - sweet!
