Monster Cafe

I do not always get the opportunity to get to the computer to create digital illustrations, but I also wanted to have a go at painting again, and try out one of my different styles. Here is the result of my efforts. Monsters drinking hot beverages. What more could you ask for?

Badger Cartoon

"TB, or not TB? That is the question!"

I did this cartoon in a different style years ago. This is the new version. Obviously this subject is going to be topical for many years to come!

Tracey Emin Caricature

This is not just a M&S bed sheet. This is a Tracey Emin bed sheet.

Tracey Emin has joined Marks and Spencer in their latest ad campaign. Who would have thought it? We will have Johnny Rotten advertising butter next. Hang on a minute, he already has! From bad girl, and bad boy to national treasures. Funny how things turn out. Anyway, here is my take on the Emin story:)

Bible Study Cartoon

"Does he need to do the robot every time he gets a bible study question right?"

It has been a long while since my last cartoon. Basically life has been pretty manic for one reason or another. Anyway the cartoon drought is over with the production of this little piece. Nobody likes a smart arse, and they certainly got one in this bible study group:)

Christmas Cartoon

"Well, it is his birthday, as well as being Christmas!"

Being born during the festive season, I can not help but be inspired to do this cartoon. If I had a pound every time someone asked me if I get separate presents for Christmas, and my birthday, then I would be very well off:). This will appear as a greeting card very soon!

Greeting Cards

I have just got a selection of my cartoons printed as greeting cards. Although I do have a website with the cards on, the website is based in the US, so I wanted to print, and promote them here. So far so good! Blackwells Bookshop have taken up 4 of my designs, and I sold a nice batch last night during a Tree House Meeting. Next up is the Totterdown Art Trail, where I will be based in Totterdown Baptist on the 17th-18th November. If you would like to pop over to say hi, that would be great!:)

Illustration in progress

I very rarely go into much detail into the background on my cartoons. I thought I would push myself a bit with this latest project. This is what I achieved today, and I will post each significant stage as it progresses.

Just adding blocks of colour at the moment. The original building is grey, so I am going to keep a version of this one saved, but I will later add a bit more colour to the finished piece.

Apart from a bit of tidying up here, and there, this is the first completed version of this illustration of Bitton railway station. There are other things I am going to do with this, but these things will be revealed in stages as I progress.

Another stage of the illustration.
