shadow(s)
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?

Soaked
“Think I’m into something big!” A reworking of a staff survey poster campaign on job satisfaction, which went under the general strapline of How Do Things Look From Where You’re Sitting? Anyway, needless to say our little fishing companion, oblivious to developments behind him, is indeed in for at least a bit of a soaking!

Beginner
When you’re a beginner colourer inner, nothing can be as important as to keep the colours on the right side of the line. So, children everywhere, (young and old), it’s important to keep your hand in and practice, at least until you’re old enough to use expensive software that will do the job for you. [...]

Transportation
Illustration Friday – Transportation That old saying didn’t come about by accident y’know! ( … also covered by Prince in Purple Rain).
Beneath
When the creative juices run dry, there’s nothing quite like a rummage through the archives to find some inspiration, or even something to fit the subject matter. “Man beneath a jigsaw” was commissioned for an article on product diversity and options for an internal banking publication. You can understand the need for an illo to [...]
