.Hugo.Mixed.Tape.

The latest competitions I've been working on, the deadline is at the end of the week and I managed to get these designs done before then so yey! The aim was to pick a list of mixed songs from the hugocreate.com site and draw an album cover inspired by the music, also it had to include the Hugo bottle image somewhere. These are the three ideas i came up with, i tried to make them all very different to give voters a bit of variation to chose from.

.people.picture.colour.

Finally! I've finished colouring the image! this has been one grueling piece of work and has taken just over a week to complete, that is me working on it about 3 1/2 to 4 hours a day. In the end I'm glad I've complete it but am now in a dilemma as to whether or not I like it best with a plain background of textured one, so comments appreciated!

.anything.goes.

Now that the 'This is not a sketchbook' has been send back to america, it felt a bit empty with out having it to doodle in..SO! I made another one of my own 'The Anything Goes Book' which will as is suggests on the cover be filled with random things. Watch this space to see how it turns out!

.people.gathering.

All that talk of people drawing was not exaggerated one bit, here are the line drawings of all the random people in the basics of my plan. I'm going to experiment with colour to see what works best then maybe add texture.

.people.people.people.

Yet another competition under way with the theme 'Embracing Our Differences' with the goal of creating a billboard sized image with lots of detail. My idea is many many many drawings of many people from many nationalities all merged in to one big drawing to reveal another drawing if you get my drift. Here are a few simple line drawings which I've started with, much more people drawing is on the agenda as I want to get as many as possible in to the big picture.

.In.A.Nutshell.

Lately I've been working on stuff for competitions and wish to continue creating more images, well at least one new image a day. I seemed to have come to the point where I feel I have lots of creativity and ideas that are just bursting to be drawn, painted and made in various other forms but i can't seem to see them clearly.

They are all stuck in the back of my mind just beyond the reach of my pencil and this is really annoying me. So expect a short term of silence followed by an explosion of blogs and creative ideas!

.NEoN.

After many doodles and brain scratching idea's I finally decided I'd designed enough characters for the NEoN character t-shirt design competition. Here are a few doodle stages and final images for you to feast your eyes on.
