A start from scratch effort for this week’s Illustration Friday theme. Couldn’t get Van Halen’s “Jump” out of my head when considering options so there’s a passing reference in there. Typical, I think, of any type of signature style that’s developing at the moment. Adobe Illustrator.

Puzzled

More graphic in style and design from my usual contributions to postings here although thought process the same. Suited my limited timescales this week tho! Looked for inspiration on the news stands, all the reams of puzzler type publications although images for these tend to be stock photos or unrelated cartoon illustrations, tight budgets I suppose.

See that boiling pan on the hob, it might be hot! “Perhaps more advisable to visit to a restaurant for Xmas this year! Print out and colour in the illustration above. To make it easier we’ve made a start for you.

Who let the dogs out?


Those nice people at modernbrands.com.au,( blue opal is the trading name), have made a star out of my dog character, first seen here, by making him the “face” of one of their board games in Australia. For those interested, more details of the game are available on their online brochure.  Any game that features pooper scoopers and dog pooh has got to be a success in my book. Your pressie list to Santa starts here!

launch

A drawn by hand illustration friday posting for a change, that probably fits the subject matter quite nicely. No digital jiggerypokery here, although our intrepid adventurer, depicted, could possibly use a little space age technology to get off the ground. A big rubber band can only do so much…

Hank Marvin

Hank Brian Marvin, the original guitar hero and everyone’s favourite shadow, unless of course you preferred one of the other ones. One day all record artwork will be made this way and who’ll be laughing then?
