Imaginat-gun

I've spent today designing the ultimate multitool for my imagination. It's loaded with a video camera, a keyboard, art supplies, a spanner and a multidimensional magic megaphone...and that's just on the outside! It's really just going to be a production stamp for a website I'm creating that encompasses music, illustration, videos and making stuff. I'll let you all know when the site is running.

Deep Sea

Nothing compares to the look and feel of old colour images printed in books and comics. The offset colours that didn't quite match the lines and brown tinged paper always attracted me to the images. They seemed to have an imperfect handmade feel that you don't see much these days. In this illustration I tried to replicate this feeling mixing my love of halftone patterns with early 90's Johnny Quest style colouring. You can really see the intent of the illustration in the zoomed up version below.

Devotion

Try new things! That's what my new years resolution was and it's no different with my illustration. So yesterday I decided to try a lino print which ended up being a very rewarding experience. I wanted to create a print that tipped it's hat to iconography but that felt more personal. This illustration speaks of the time I spend with God, reading and thinking. It represents the flow of biblical understanding to my head, my heart and my hands.
