Early days, returning to Corel Painter for a few tests combining brush pen and some digital colour.

Quiet Carriage 01

Drawn in the quiet carriage on the way home, they thoughtfully provide a bit of card in the back of the seat in front of you, that is ideal for drawing on.

A Medieval Crone

Jenny & Moo

Here's a new one done with a reed pen, i love how pooped Jenny my Mrs looks, if you like this drawing then click on the link 'Bobble & Moo' on the right to see a few more. Reed pens really are amazing i cannot recommend them enough to all you inky fingered types.

The Virgin of the Flight into Egypt

Another drawing from a stone carving by Gislebertus but putting even more of the knowledge from looking at Thomas Bewick into the process.

St Michael

Drawn from a carving at the Cathedral of Autun in France, 12th Century the carving is by The master Gislebertus, who carved almost all the sculpture in Autun. I'm very pleased with this one the simplification is really working and i can see how the whole book could look.

Here the Brute Harpies make their Nests - New CD design

Here's the principle artwork for the new Julian Gaskell and His Ragged Trousered Philanthropists , it's called 'Here the Brute Harpies Make their Nest' a line from the book from which the bands name is taken.

Portrait of Tom ( not me another Tom )

Did a bit of drawing for a new CD cover for Julian Gaskell last week, and had a go at a portrait of Tom who plays the double bass with them, its not a totally accurate likeness but a good drawing none the less, so i thought i'd post it, as it probably wont feature on the final artwork. Check out the band here the new CD is mixed and will be out soon.
