I have had a lot of commission and potential paid work come up since last week so updates to the blog may slow down because of this. But anyway here is a taster of something I am personally working on for my family this christmas. :) 

as a fan of old animation  I have always had the dream of recreating the real world in to 

slice of life Don Bluth/Disney inspired screen shots. :) 

heres two failed attempts from a few years back in 2008 I think. 

I am planning to give each member of my family their own personal screen shot As a sign of thanks for all the years they have put up with me and my work. 

its not going to be easy to pull off but its an ambition of mine I would like to make a reality before the end of year, maybe even make it a new form of caricaturing for 2016.

Now for Something Completely Different 4/2/15

For the last few days i have had the inspiration to create traditional illustrations that reflect the juxtaposing of two different countries to crate one massive metropolis.

In this case its  the UK and Japan.

I used some obvious tropes to represent both nations examples being the old pub for the UK and the narrow streets for Japan. 

Until next post Laters :)

Now for Something Completely Different 14/1/15

Architecture and city environments have always been a big inspiration and fascination in my art since I was 10 years old. A lot of my early work that I became known for was to do with buildings and modern city planning. these types of illustrations usually ended up having a fantastical approach to their architectural designs some that mimic what we have today.

examples of old work below  

Despite how busy I am with commissions and other projects on my DA account I have found myself longing for the old days. I set aside time to have a go at drawing my fictional architecture/ landscapes,while putting in to practice everything I have leaned and improved on, from perceptive to line thickness. 

the difference is amazing but my loose style of sketching is still visible. 

until next post LATERS
