getting the kids to help

I am constantly amazed by the care free creativity of my little darlings, and it turns out I am not the only one. Have a read of this lovely article if you have a few minutes to spare.

The last few weeks (months) have been mostly about my day job, but I have done the odd creative project. This is the poster and booklet cover I did for the local village show.

ed kluz and st judes

Ed Kluz, as I think I have said before is a favourite of mine, likewise St Judes. Here the two happily combine, click on the picture above to watch a film about Ed Kluz and how he works.

dolan geiman

Dolan Geiman is a prolific artist, producing a huge selection of mixed media work. The images above and below are two of my favourite, but there are plenty more to see on his site, it is really worth a look.

I'd love to find someone creative to work with, to bounce ideas off etc. and I really admire people who have a dream and go for it. So if you feel the same, check out The Rustbelt Almanac a story about two guys, with a dream, promoting and celebrating creative people based in the US rustbelt.

working on another random quote

Thought you might like to see some of the sketches before I work on the digital version. The back story is of two girls discussing what girl number 1 had heard a boy say about girl number 2. Said boy, girl number 2 had her eye on but she said to girl number 1, "Basically 'I'm freaky', What on earth does he mean by that?" And so the conversation continued as to whether or not the boy's opinion of girl number 2 meant they might have a future together or was there no hope for them. Sad stuff.
Anyway, I was around this time looking at tattoos and trying to determine what makes something say  "Tattoo!" - colour, line width etc. So I got thinking about alternative tattoos inspired by the above snippet of conversation.
