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?

Illustration Friday – Bicycle A bespoke,(ahem), illustration for this week’s topic.

Illustration Friday – Propagate
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 – Idle
IF – IdleIntroducing the idle eaters, like odour eaters, but instead of removing bad smells they get rid of lazy sods wherever they may idle. Character designed in Illustrator, I’m going to lie down now.
