Illustration Friday – Fearless

paul — Thu, 13 May 2010 20:37:18 +0000

Fearless – The All Blacks sprung to mind for this week’s topic , and seemed completely irrelevant, what with the FIFA World Cup only a couple of weeks away!

Illustration Friday – Linked

Linked – from last week’s post, (see what I did there!). The launch this week of the Conservative Party Manifesto where Joe Public were invited to join the government! Count me in – do you know the expenses these guys are on?

Illustration Friday – Dip

paul — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 07:33:51 +0000

Dip - Election Special! The dip here is not referring to the Prime Minister, (a man of high intellect (and Raith Rovers supporter!)), but rather the dips, twists and turns that we, the voting public, can expect over the coming weeks as the rollercoaster that is the general election campaign gains momentum. Lucky us!

Illustration Friday – Rescue

paul — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 11:06:41 +0000

Rescue – or pet rescue in this circumstance. A nod to the important role pet rescue centres provide, offering a second to chance to animals who deserve to find a good home, as was the case with my own border collie Poppy. Created in adobe illustrator, initially as a mock-up for a boarding kennel but shoe-horned to fit this week’s topic.

Illustration Friday – Expired

paul — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 03:59:22 +0000

A purely graphic interpretation of subject matter, unusually for me. Keeping things simple which probably suits my mindset right now. An Illustrator creation for info.

UPDATE: This entry can also be seen on the pages of creativematch’s flair competition for March here

Illustration Friday – Perspective

An alternative perspective.

A quick vector knock-up in Illustrator.

Illustration Friday – Propagate

paul — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:18:43 +0000

As well as being contrary, Mary was a little slow on the uptake!

An experimental vector workout with the line art of the character added latterly.

Illustration Friday – Adrift

Adrift

Adrift in tropical waters, almost heavenly if it wasn’t for the fact it’s five miles from shore and that air valve doesn’t look too clever! Still, better than being buried alive in an avalanche! Hand drawn, scanned and then traced and coloured in Illustrator.

Illustration Friday – Muddy

Muddy

In homage to the late great bluesman Muddy Waters who was born McKinlay Morganfield and nicknamed “Muddy” for his fondness of playing in the dirt as a child. Seems an obvious link to this week’s topic with a little humour thrown in for good measure.

Illustration Friday – Clumsy

Clumsy

… or, more specifically, how to be clumsy to your advantage at work. Warning – This technique only works under certain pre-determined conditions and even then, there are no guarantees. Useful hints. 1. Check the individual you are trying to attract is actually in his office and not on the golf course, this can save valuable time. 2.Gentlemen, your success rate may vary considerably.
