Speedos, waterwings and a dwarf

A peek at commercial work: A detail from an illustration I did for a listed property investment company... just liked the way these guys on top of the diving board came out -- both body language and silly swimming aids.
This dwarf I doodled up basically by accident while inking a Madam & Eve comic strip yesterday... popped on to the page quite spontaneously when I heard my colouring assistant Maja talking about having to draw Snow White's dwarves for a children's book she's illustrating.

The sable fish and other artsy sea creatures...

A little something I doodled up in my moleskine this morning...

Polluting Minds

For Illustration Friday: Primitive, outdated technologies and mindsets will never get us out of the ecological nightmare humanity is facing... a pencil, ink and watercolour piece from recent sketchbook pages... enjoy.

Living in a house in da country...

Some more things that somehow ended up on the pages of sketchbooks and pieces of drawing paper somebody carelessly left lying around... serves them right, I say.

And before you ask, the elephant's caption just fitted his expression, not my state of mind at that moment -- I was actually enjoying a yummy cappucino in a coffee shop in hermanus at the time :-)

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair...

Redhead -- pencil & watercolours...

Where's da beach? - pen and ink and watercolours...

Reading is good for you :-)

Quick brush and india ink sketch...

Some recent drawings, sketches and watercolours I've managed during a few creative sessions while supposedly resting the pencils while on an extended leave from the drawing board... oh, well.

Have you checked out the new comic strip that I recently launched together with writer Stephen Francis: VERN & DERN? ... if not, do so immediately! Yes, right now! What are you waiting for?

Not much new stuff happening at the moment... giving them pencils a bit of rest... so been trawling the archives for a few oldies, but goodies :-)

The Friday Doodles

Just a few random recent images from my sketchbook -- which has been rather quiet as I've been rather busy working on developing and getting ready for publication VERN & DERN, the new comic strip my writing partner and I have been putting together... http://vernanddern.blogspot.com/

The bottom loose drawing actually became one of the Vern & Dern characters...

Go ahead...buzzfuse me :-)
