Wanted to share a little bit of my sketchbook work for a change! These are all doodles, and aren't really relevant to any projects, so no one would ever see 'em otherwise.
You win no prizes for finding Putin, but you might for finding Jimmy.
This week, I decided that a certain kind of trashy Reality TV show (MTV's finest, by the way) needed a bit of ridiculing. I think I've got the characters pretty spot on as they are the most beastly creatures to emerge from the valleys of Wales since those great ugly dragons. MTV, you really have outdone yourself, but I do love you.
You've given my vulgar creations a pretty good context.
I've changed my mind, AGAIN, and re-designed the storyboard for this anecdote from a Holocaust survivor. Maybe one day I'll get it finished for real!! I really bloody hope so. Anyway I thought I'd post this at least just to prove I'm not being completely unproductive.
This draft was never used, but I'm blogging it anyway ;)
For PinUp Productions, a new film production company who are soon to be filming all the skating and surfing at some lovely festivals this year, including Boardmasters!
Infinite State, an independent game company, are making a fantastic little platform game for iPhone called Frutorious
You know at the beginning of a game, you get a nice story sequence that sets the scene? I was asked to illustrate it!
The story of Frutorious goes like this:
One day, Mr Fruts was having a lovely picnic with Mrs Fruts and their friends, the fluffs.
Suddenly, a nasty skull called Pedro appeared and gave everyone a fright!
With an evil cackle, Pedro turned all the fluffs into fruts! What a rotter.
All the fruts scattered around Frutland and got stuck in all the trees. Oh no!
Luckily, Frutorious FIG saw what happened and offered to give Mr Fruts a lift to go and sort it all out.
Not only is it the cutest thing since Yoshi's Story for N64, but it's got SO MANY pretty colours, and even a sneaky bit of 8-bit dub step thrown in to the soundtrack.
