Bleep

I’ve put a new comic strip up on the comics section of my website here – actually an old comic strip I found unused in my sketchbook, but I’ve added some new colour to it. Not too much colour though.
It’s based on a story a friend told me; I don’t know what the customer looked like, so I used a generic uptight character (also seen here) and I’m not sure quite how true it is, but I like the irony of it.
I’ve also updated my site to make the different sections clearer and draw more attention to my shop! Now I just need to add more products to it at some stage.

World shut your mouth

I wanted to stick to a simple design for this poster and took some inspiration from a simple but enduring template; it was only after I’d started that I found Shrag’s record label Where It’s At Is Where You Are has the same influence for its website. I guess every designer loves Penguins. I expect my sulky cartoon singer also gives away my love of Peanuts.
You can download a Shrag single complete with B-sides, and a host of other fine sounds, from WIAIWYA here.

Impossible Things
January 2, 2012
My latest poster for Cupboard Music is for Roddy Woomble promoting his album ‘The Impossible Song & Other Songs’. As I felt that a song could be a difficult concept to draw, I’ve drawn Roddy contemplating an impossible object instead. It’s based on part of an image by impossibility-king MC Escher, it was still quite difficult to draw though!
I originally coloured this in a nice purple and red but decided on second thoughts that more traditional greens and browns might better suit the folky sound Roddy has these days. Incidentally I received an Escher puzzle for Christmas, which I’ve also found nigh on impossible…
