More T-shirt Designs

Hello,

Here are more t-shirt designs I've produced for Perkie, a wonderful folk acoustic musician and Colour Me Wednesday, a melodic punk band.

Just Atmospheric Silhouette Stuff

Very very sunny!

Here are some illustrations I did...indoors. 

I quite enjoy creating silhouetty-like stuff, You can create very eerie atmospheric art by simply layering shapes and receding colour (very very easily!). The piece right at the  bottom was experimental, just having fun. It was inspired by a print I saw somewhere. It was of a painting of one of those kitsch rural scenes of countryside, lakes and trees. I wanted to include a Fox somewhere, (and text) but it just wouldn't fit into the composition so I made a whole new one - The Fox Mum. It's quite a nostalgic piece as it reminds me of a cartoon I used to watch called 'Farthing Woods', with a family of foxes and other woodsy animals like badgers and Wolves. 

Inky Stuff

Yellow,

Some stuff I've drawn recently when I should have been working. I don't know if I've mentioned already, but I got a small commission doing some panels for OUP. A the moment I'm doing stuff on Dick Whittington. I'll be getting another story soon.

(Illustrations: some animal studies and a sketch of Dee Dee of Dum Dum Girls)

Flying Fox

Snore,

It's quite late and my eyes are turning weird again, listening to The Resistance by Muse. The classical inspired pieces calm me down, while the exotically lilting tracks twirl my brain into a swirling frenzy of Paisleys and vivid colour. Great album; they took a gamble.

Anyhow this was a piece I produced just to help me think about the recent news on the media about those urban foxes mauling those poor children. I hope the fox doesn't become demonised and turned into the 'Big Bad Wolf' from The Little Red Riding Hood. The fox is quite a mythical creature - a sort of symbol in my mind, cunning, beautiful, agile, adaptable, cat-like but not quite.

"Counter balance this commotion,
We're not droplets in the ocean". - Muse

Floaty Light

Yelo,

This was a doodle I doodled, it sort of reminded me of the line:

'...Give me all the Peace and Joy in your mind!...'

from the song Bliss by Muse - a wonderful psychedelic sounding song, one of my favourites.

*edit*

Added some flora to the background to give it some depth

Dog eat Egg

Hello,

Was bored so drew. I think it turned out okay although the dog in the illustration was suppose to be a fox, but it was too big, so I sort of morphed him into a dog instead - he's a big tame fox I guess. I took inspiration from Sumi art for this piece!

Oh, and there's really no story behind it. the image just sort of developed as I was going along, but I knew I wanted an animal.

Enjoy.

Inky Fox

hello,

this was a quick drawing I did using quink ink and a bright orange colouring pencil.

Degree show postcard design

hello,

just remembered I had this postcard design, possibly to be used for the degree show. inspired by the images I did for the Paisley Fox booky project.

The Paisley Fox

yellow,

These are some spreads from a little book I made about an urban fox who dreams of Paisley Designs and the wonders of the east. He follows the moon to a distant land where he finds a peacock in the sky, perched on a waning moon.
