This is a pretty rotten drawing. I wasn't feeling it from the moment I started it. I just saw this bike, at the Crich 1950s day, and thought it looked interesting. I wanted to do something interesting with it. But I didn't. Then when I got home and started cross hatching the hell out of it I was still not feeling it. So, I just got it finished and wrote some nonsense on the page. You can tell by my hand writing I wasn't even feeling that.
However, despite the fact that I've just slated it, there is one moment in this drawing that I like. You see when I've made a drawing that makes me cringe I feel that as long as I create a little magical moment within it - whether that be a line or a texture or a detail - I can forgive it. So, yes, there is one moment that makes me smile. Can you spot it?

I’m trying to do some warm up drawings and messing with different styles and brushes, papers, etc.
This is a simple line-art drawing, digitally drawn, without working off a rough. I used Painter 11, with the paper set so it has some tooth. When I use a pencil, I usually use the “grainy cover pencil”, which will cover any colors used underneath the it’s layer, as well as pick up on the grainy texture of the paper. If you work digitally, you know you can control the amount of grain with some of your tools. Painter’s digital watercolors are underneath the line work. I like to use them quick and fast. I don’t like things to look tight, so I’m fighting that ALL the time when I work. And finally, I will sometimes double up the line work and/or color layers, depending on how bold I want things to be. In this case, I went for bold.

Over the years I've heard many people say that they find starting a new sketchbook the hardest part. They become frozen with the fear of messing it up. Especially, it seems, when it comes to Moleskine sketchbooks. Why is it that they are so intimidating? Is it because of the history of Moleskine? The prestige? Or is it just 'cos they are not cheap that makes you want to take extra care? Funnily enough, I never have that problem. I LOVE to start a new sketchbook. I (almost) cannot wait until I get home. I'm scribbling my name in it in the car (almost). No, I have the opposite problem.
This is the last but drawing of
my travel themed Moleskine. There's just one more little page to fill. It's a travel sketchbook with a bit of a twist as I've created all the drawings at home with the souvenirs and memorabilia that I have brought back from my trips. Actually, not just my trips. This book also contains souvenirs from my friends travels too. That's the good thing about being a memorabilia artist; people always seem to bring me bits and bobs back from their trips. For example, a friend brought this back from the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition at the National Gallery, London, earlier this year.
I started this Moleskine on the 29th of April 2009. I cannot even begin to think of how many hours work, and love, have gone into it. I think that it is my favourite sketchbook so far. In fact, it most definitely is. I am very proud of it. And now there is just one more page to go. Will I ever finish it?
You can see the whole of the sketchbook (minus that last blank page)
HERE.
Jemma Salume has been a delight in my rss feeds for a about a year now. I love her crisp linework, color choices, and overall graphic sensibilities.

These are the final couple of drawings from the rock n roll day last weekend. Actually, there's also a motorbike but that might take some time to finish. I must say that I'm pretty pleased that in just one day I produced so much stuff.
I'l let you into a secret about the car below; it most definitely wasn't that shape. I started off at the front of the car, which was going okay. Not great but okay. Then I realised that there was absolutely no bloody way I was going to fit the whole thing onto the page. It was, after all, a big long Zodiac! So, I had a decision to make and, yes, I did. I squashed the whole thing into the space I had. Ah well, as long as we keep it to ourselves nobody else ever needs to know.
Throughout this drawing I was thinking of my friend
France Belleville and her 'ladies'.

I love
Dr. Sketchy. I really do. Last night was another great session at
The Greystones in Sheffield. We got to draw some stunning models to an Eartha Kitt soundtrack. What could be better than that? I was right in the zone too and produced a load of sketches. Sketches I'm pretty chuffed with. Here's one. It's my prize winning (ahem) drawing of Hells Belle. I'll post the rest soon. Cheers!

I've finally finished the drawings for the production of James and the Giant Peach at Buxton Festival.
These two drawings depict the two stages of completing a deadline.
Above; panic = trying to get all the work in on time.
Below; bliss = all work in on time (ish).
There are three performances of the James production, in early July,so, if you are close to Buxton then bring your kids along. I can't wait for it, myself. It'll be a new experience to see my work as backdrops. How exciting. I hope to post some photos from the event.

Below is a spot illustration I did a few months back that is recently in print. It’s for a Christian magazine so this is a story about kind of letting go and not sweating the chaos that can occur if you give children some part of the church service. It’s a sweet story if you have time to read it. All the ones I do for this magazine are like that. So I feel I get a blessing each time I do the illustration to accompany it.
As for the illustration, this project gives me opportunity to stretch my illustration style. In this case, I did the characters loosely and quickly (though that actually takes a lot of time to do!) and kept the color scheme somewhat monochromatic. Below, I have the spread in the article, and then half the illustration as a closeup.
Thanks for stopping by!

And now for something completely different. Different from all the sketch crawl stuff that I've been posting of late anyway. Here's a couple more from the
James and Giant Peach project. These drawings will become the backdrops to the play. I find it quite difficult to not get sucked into all the details. After all, that's what I love to do.
The scene below is what goes on inside the peach on an average evening. As I was finishing it I was reminded of one of my favourite
Spike Milligan poems which goes like this;
'Today I saw a little worm wriggling on his belly,
perhaps he'd like to come inside and see what's on the telly.'
I bloody love that.

Here's another of the backdrops I am illustrating for the Buxton Festival's production of James and the Giant Peach. I'm prettyy happy with this one and though I might still add a little background I also liked it against the white.
Lots more on it's way this week.
Jack Davis was born in Atlanta, Georgia on December 2nd 1924. He had his first piece of work published in Tip Top comics at the age of twelve in December 1936. In his teens he carried on working for different pubications, then in 1952 he became one of the founders of the well-known American humour magazine ‘Mad’. (via Voices Of East Anglia & hat-tip to Kevin Church!)
Ah, Mad Magazine’s Jack Davis! :)
And if you’re under 35 you may not know that at one time, movie posters were allowed to have word bubbles on them. According to this post, Davis was once the highest paid illustrator in the world. I don’t have proof to back that up, but am checking with Professor Peng.

This year Charles Dickens is not the only one to be celebrating his 200th birthday, the master of nonsense, Edward Lear, also turns 200. This Saturday on May 12 his bicentenary will be celebrated. He is best known for the beloved children's classic The Owl and the Pussycat.
These striking illustrations by UK illustrator Sarah Dennis celebrate the much loved classic The Owl and the Pussycat.
Karen Klassen: Fever
Joe Spellman is a professional artist specialising in acrylic, watercolour and commercial illustration.
Born in the North East of England he trained at Sunderland College of Art where he gained a teaching degree in Art and subsequently began work as an interior designer.
Joe emigrated to Australia in the early 70s and began teaching at schools and then art colleges in Sydney.
He now lives in Queensland where he continues to paint from his home studio. The vibrant colours of Joe's landscapes are quite distinctive and he has gained an active following for his original works in Australia and abroad.
Joe has illustrated several children's books. His latest, Hubert and the Magic Glasses will be released in August.
Joe selects Five Books of Influence:
Just William by Richard Crompton
I was very excited to receive my first junior library borrower’s card at the age of eight. Being rather a good little boy at school I was delighted to find a range of books about my opposite number - the ‘Just William’ books by Richard Crompton. I can always visualise the illustrations of William, dressed in a battered, untidy school uniform as he appeared during his wars with goodie-goodie Hubert Lane and Hubert’s equally despicable cronies. By today’s standards, William would probably merit a halo but in those faraway days he rivalled ‘Dennis the Menace’ for his ‘villainous’ activities. He was the smarmy Hubert’s nemesis, always lurking in the upper crust’s privet prepared to deflate this obnoxious Lane’s ego.
Tut tut - such villainy!

That would be the reflection in the engine cover plate :-)
And the drawing is actually quite charming. ;-)
There's a couple in the chrome cover near the brake pedal. It appears as if the couple is a reflection in the chrome. The woman appears to be writing or drawing in a book.

I think a young couple made their way to the gas tank (or is it under it?) :))
The drawing is cool (no rubbish), and the man you describe in the text that is watching you draw is super cool, only the front wheel is crummy ... If I was you I would tear of a small piece of paper on the side, or drip a drop or red wine on it, or maybe a cigarette burn, having it look as if an accident had happened, and nobody would ever know that the missing part was a queer front wheel : D
Btw the scribbling is funky, it gives the effect that the motor is running and vibrating, some of those choppers do sound really crappy.
Anyway, nice work!
Well I think you are being awfully hard on yourself - the bike looks mighty fine to me. And for just a moment, I had the feeling that I was standing next to you while you were sketching it and could see our reflection in the chrome. For just a moment. It passed.
The reflection on the shiny bit!
The picture of a bridal(?) couple?
Well, it made me smile. :-)
Oh! Happy Birthday, Andrea! (Only spotted that when I enlarged the pic just now for a better look at the couple!)
the reflection! ;)
Thanks, folks.
Yeah, you got it. That is supposed to be me, drawing the bike in my Moleskine, with the Rockerbilly owner of the bike watching me drawing it. Does that make sense?
Dan, are you telling me that was you looking over my shoulder?
Chelle, I actually like the front wheel. After the self portrait it's my favourite bit. It's just ALL of the rest of it I dislike!
Thanks, Di.
Thank you all.
In my next life I'll be a Rockerbilly, but I am just as cool. Really.
I'm late to the party as always but would have said the reflection too - and it's a darn sight better drawing of a motorcycle than I could do!
the reflection of the man and the woman. who are they? i loved the whole drawing! thank you for sharing it.
