Illustration Friday: Sneaky

This may be a bit of a stretch... he's a sneaky villain. But it seems to be more about the hero, and the sneaky villain gets to play second fiddle.

Illustration Friday: Burning (Love!)

It's 1968, and here is Rhinocelvis Beetle at his peak - poured into his carapace, mandibles glinting under his curled lip. (Actually I'm not sure Elvis actually sang Burning Love in the Comeback Special, but Rhinocelvis sure did!)

Singing in the rain

It's cold today in the studio, we have the Calgar gas heater doing its best, but I'm also wearing a wool poncho, big blanket and have two pairs of socks waiting in case things get desperate. But I really LOVE it here!

Admiring Daan Botlek's brilliant work via Drawn.

A Cat May Look at a King...

but only if he has a mirror. Ho ho!

Working on story characters, feeling very keen on cats at the moment.

Illustration Friday: Spent

Unlucky 7!

Dungarees

Chitty Chitty

I found these in my auntie's old copy of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, illustrated by John Burningham. I'd never seen the book before, but I really loved these drawings of Paris.
I don't remember much liking the film when I was little, too long and creepy, but the book was written by Ian Fleming! Which seems pretty cool to me.

Illustration Friday: Racing

Racing hearts

And dancing...

More animals playing instruments!

O when will I be sated? When will I have seen enough animals on instruments?? Will the joyous day ever dawn? I suspect not.
