Toothbrush

Hey guess what? It's snowing again!

That is not the reason why I decided to draw a cartoon dinosaur holding a toothbrush, in fact I have no idea what inspired me to do this but the conundrum facing this character did me me smile, so that's enough!

Going away to wrap up warm and watch some junk on TV whilst the snow falls over Yorkshire!
Have a good evening everyone! Drive safe tomorrow!!!

A City Graphic

Howdy ho!

Hope you've all had a good day!

Today's doodle came as a result of some experimentation with shapes and usage of the blend tool in Adobe Illustrator! I enjoyed making it, and I hope you enjoy viewing it!

It makes a nice background for your laptop monitor (I'm using it at the moment, give it a go and let me know what you think!).

That's it for now! Gotta rush!!!
(play in the snow before it's all gone)

Bird on a wire

It's snowing again! It snowed...it's... stopped...aww c'mon!!!

Well, blimey! One of the things that got me excited about moving up 'ere t' Yorkshire, was the premise that the county generally receives a lot of snow compared to the lower lands of the UK... so where is it? I don't know if weather systems are able to access the internet, or read, but if they can...I'm disappointed...

Here's hoping for more tonight so we can wake up, build a snowman (and a snow-dog)  and generally act like excited 8(+20) year olds!

Today's doodle comes courtesy of the lonely bird that was sat on top of a telephone wire in our street when we came back from shopping today. It looked very similar to this scene, apart from with a few more colours and much smaller snow flakes. I felt sorry for the feathery fellar, he was singing loudly in the cold snowfall, and no other bird was around to answer, so I felt like immortalising this rare beautiful and slightly solemn moment in the shape of a doodle. I hope he finds his friends soon!

Enjoy your evenings! Eat well, watch a cheesy movie, and most importantly snuggle up warm. Oh and if you are now developing a sense of karmic duty, put some food out for the birdies, they always appreciate it!

Hypnochick!

2nd Friday of the year? Yeah!!!

Well keeping in theme with yesterday's monochrome Ninja Owl doodle, today's arty experiment uses nothing more than black & white and lots of line drawy, vector fiddly techniques. The initial idea came from THIS AMAZING TUTORIAL. If you use Adobe Illustrator please check it out it, you won't be disappointed!

Now let's get a few things said, I don't know who the person is, it was based on features of my own face, and some from the back of my imagination, so it isn't meant to look like anyone particular! I've aptly dubbed this image Hypnochick, due in no small part to that dizzying background!!!

Well that's it for now! Have a great weekend everyone! I believe the UK is about to be battered by a cold weather front, so I'm battening down the hatches and enjoying a hot cuppa tea to prepare!

Much love, peace out, yadda yadda!

Stealth n' Feathers

Well hello and a happy Thurs(to you)day!

I don't know why, but a lot of people out there don't seem to appreciate owls for the stealthy night time ninjas which they are! So I thought I'd put that right and create a graphic to represent the awesomeness of this creature in it's natural form. Don't try telling me that owls don't use katanas or ninja stars, I won't believe you!

Well I hope that the week is coming to a good close for everyone! I was thinking about submitting some of my doodles to be printed on T-shirts! Let me know what you think and which ones you would particularly like to see on a piece of clothing!

I am off to make a carrot and coriander soup for din dins, so until tomorrow, ciao and chow down!

2013 is here! Sorry I'm late!

HELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG! YEAH!!!

Marvelous to be back on blogger, drawing silly things and generally talking rubbish to you, my superb audience! I've missed you, I've missed this, and now I'm back!!!

For those of you who do not know, I was spending Christmas and New year on the sunny little island Cyprus! And what a wonderful time I had! Also I ate roughly half of the country's food supplies over the festive season, so looks like I'll be hitting the Kinect exercise routines extra hard for the next few weeks!

If you are anything like me, you'll be feeling a little low as we wave goodbye to Christmas, and welcome another year filled with it's overly generous share of blah, meh, and 'eh?' moments. So I thought I'd visually represent the end of the season in a way that only my imagination can do. Au revoir, auf wiedersehen, yassou, or just plain old goodbye to Chrimbo. Pack up your baubles and pop your trees back in the dusty attic (unless you were posh enough to have a real tree, in which case keep sniffing it's piney goodness until it starts to go mouldy).

 If it wasn't clear, I wish you all a happy and lucky 2013! High hopes for the future and all that! Looking forward to making people smile with daily sillyness once more!!!
