Rough as guts!

some quick bits and pieces today - no Photoshop prettying or whatnot (ok, not much)
These are mostly pics I did for my kids...


The Fuzzy Pink Bunny!
the daughter asked me to draw a bunny 'wabbit'. Needless to say bunny wasn't supposed to be sleeping! I got in trouble for this one...


Fish Teeth
This was done while I was supposed to be helping Son#1 with his maths homework... or was it english. Sharpie and crayon (mostly cos those were what was available in his pencil case from school/or my pockets at the time).

I know it's kind've a cliched visual, the super-cute li'l fishy with the MASSIVE maw, but I also figured, what the fu- I mean... -hey. It's all good aquatic fun till someone loses a flipper.


Der Froggo
I cheated this one with some quick P'shoppy type colours. This came up in response to the weird-ass li'l frog I saw hopping about on the bitumen the other night while waiting for wifey and kiddos to pick me up from the station.
Hop li'l frog, hop!


Lion/Line
The daughter is very keen to learn reading/writing, from there she maintains it's only a hop, skip and a tango to world domination and hair-styling supremacy! She said, 'Daddy-o' (cos we're hip that way, and cos I'm writin' this, and if I admit she said, 'daddeeeeeeee' I'll have to smack you sidewards), she said, 'Daddy-o, draw a line'. So, being the perverse parent I am, I drew the image at left.

After I recovered consciousness I drew the image on the right.

Kids! Hah!

Din-oh-saur!

"Woof!" said the large-clawed phlapozonct as it scritched its way out of the quagmire."In 150 million years, no one will even remember me!", he thought sadly.Just then a light appeared in the sky above...

"ooh! It's a sign of things to come!".

Cowboy Rejects

These images were part of a course proposal, but the client decided the whole western theme wasn't serious enough for the content.

Mainstreet
- Sheriff's office on the left, saloon on the right (Madame Foo's Celestial Heaven Parlour and pizza joint is upstairs).

...and the high sierras in the distance.


Sheriff, Zane LaFontaine and her deputies.
(I went High Noon for the tall guy, and Django for the short fellow)


Map of the town doubles as a learning plan.
The Sheriff's star was an 18th birthday present from my friends in school, lo those many years ago.


Reusing character images in sepia, coupled with a bunch of my own cowboy crap - voila! Title page. The woodgrain is from the laminate on my work-desk, the bolo (string tie) on the right is the only tie I own! (Cos I's a rebel, and I never never never, lah lah lah).

Meeting Robot

So we had a team meeting, and I was talking and drawing and not thinking, and this robot sort of evolved on the page...

I think he's a hamburger delivery robot, and his name is 'Texas Pete', but he lives in Batu Pahat, where he met a lovely She-Bot. (She works in an iron smelting plant as a bucket tip+fill control system. She's not much to look at, but WOW, she can process 47.352 smelting buckets in a 30 minute shift-cycle).

Almost CNY!

updates just before another Ox-year starts...
