Season's Greetings!

Here's my latest illustration for the season using pencil on paper and mixed media. Lately I have been inspired by images of animals and curious to mix them up with my drawings. And here's the first! So what do you think? Would love to get your thoughts as always so feel free to leave a comment or drop me a line : ) Oh and expect more soon!

Da Sheepster

Happy December everyone! I was asked to create my version of Da Sheepster purely for fun and since 'tis the season I thought of injecting a dose of Xmas in him ; ) He's hilarious! For a good laugh check him out on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/dasheepster

Birthday Buff

I decided to gift my brother a funny illustration of himself, looking all buffed up and ripped taking inspiration from Wolverine. But perhaps the other scene is closer to reality : ) Happy Birthday Fadzzz!!

Type Player 2

If you're in search for some typography inspiration and ideas, Type Player 2 is worth buying. The book takes a new perspective on some brilliant ideas of typography design in different areas, ranging from illustration to hand-crafted sculptured forms using unexpected materials such as barbed wire, yarn and grass to name a few, and it's application in different environments. The book presents a fantastic collection of both commissioned and self-initiated projects that clearly display a modern take on the use of typography.
