Flat on the Floor
If only I had somewhere to go this Friday evening. Very hard and satisfying week and I'm deliberately winding down for the day now.
I've been working on some little characters for a quarterly e-newsletter I plan on sending out to promote myself so here we go.
Other adventures include a stack of greeting cards created, preparation for the Paperfox collective website, 10 pages of the St. Georgia comic drafted up, a 5th dummy book of a kids started, a new Night Draws In comic strip almost done and I finally got to grips with InDesign.
Clap clap me. I'm going to go see if anything lives inside a tree (gnomes, hattifatteners etc).
Renmen Project
Hallo there,
Its a pencil.... with birds on it.
Here is some blurb about the project...
'Renmen' is the Haitian word for Love, the bird in the logo is the Hispaniolan Trogon, the national bird of Haiti. 'The Renmen Project' has been brought together by the team at Thunder Chunky and Ben The Illustrator in order to raise funds for UNICEF's Haiti Appeal.'
So we can see the birds, having a canoodle on top of the pencil, as birds tend to do. The pencil itself is in the colours of the Haitian flag and then we have the name of the project down the side. The 4H is a nerdy touch and can mean "for Haiti". Yes!
Then we have a little heart where the exposed pencil usually is.
To all you artists and illustrators, go send your support.
All Towards The End
An editorial illustration commenting on Bipolar disorder.
Punching Biscuits
The first of the illustrations for my editorial overhaul. My aim is to use cliches and symbology responsibly to communicate the message of the picture. This piece is is about guilt and it following you around.
Looking forward to end of the week, things are beginning to settle down in Cheltenham and will hopefully get into an exciting routine in the next couple of weeks.
