Sketch-a-lot

Aaaah, at last found a moment for a quick update! I am sometimes forgetting what is all the fun about with having a sketchbook blog and this affects my regularity (not sure if this is a word but it’s a quick update so I’ll look it up later). This here is a result of 10 [...]

I did this sketch this morning on the tube. I really like it. It makes me wanna come up with the story for this big guy.  By the way – what an interesting effect just by using cutout filter in photoshop! Even at the default settings the filter changed the sketch into an almost finished [...]

There are so many things at the moment (the most urgent being finding a roof over our heads) that take my spare time. This is yet another update to my mutation nation fixation(I know, I know, long gone) and an update to my earlier ball-pen “tascock” cartoon. This one is going to be more serious [...]

Mutation Nation – the afterthought sketch.
I did not go to Southwark’s Nando’s last night to attend the Sketch Jam gig. Had to go and see the flat in the evening. As I had a moment before the viewing I went to Jumbucks, the Aussie Pie place and had a sketch-jam on my own. A sketch-gravy, [...]

Damn! I am not going to the Sketch Jam tonight. Finding the place to live is a priority. This sketch is rough and unrelated but I like the idea so I am posting it. I have gone through my sketchbooks pile last night – some nice ideas I forgot about there. I hope for some [...]

Inspired by this and completely not by my own impression of this beautiful country (although a tuk tuk ride [...]

Must admit – the previous post image looks horrendous. Here is the original sketch. Next stop. the iphone version with colours applied (still working between the photoshop lite and sketchbook mobile)

My wife said she couldn’t make out what was going on here so let me explain: A spandex doning antihero(somehow it feels like it) gunned down a lorry driver consequently relieving him of being in charge of the steering wheel and the truck is now flipped and approaching our shooter in a highly uncontrollable manner. [...]

I did not make it time for the mutation-nation. Sometimes I don’t have control over what life brings around and this time it was more clients work. I am put here this developing concept for a mutated polar beast, or just polar beast. Too early to say whether it’s mutated. It looks kind of cool, [...]

Presenting the first contestant to the Mutation Nation challenge on ArtOrder. A cross between a Tarsier and a Peacock. I did this sketch this morning on the tube and coloured it quickly with some custom brushes during the lunch-break.
It’s an idea to explore – matching something that’s generally accepted as symbol of beauty (or was [...]
