Another Shape on the run from the law. Square has chosen the classic ensemble of fake yokel teeth, a Groucho Marx nose and a sleek eyepatch to evade detection of the authorities.
Shapes so far in this series
Shapes on the Lamb: Square (#129)
Category: Character
Shapes on the Lamb: Triangle (#128)
Shapes on the lamb… fugitives from the law but hiding in plain sight with kick-ass disguises!
Hand drawn with Letraset markers and black inking pens. This is definitely going to be a series! 🙂
Any minute now… (#123)
Another day has come and gone and a silly religious old man is racking his brain to be able to explain the non-happening of his prophesied second coming of Christ and the end of the world.
Everyone loves beards! (#122)
I shaved off my beard a few days ago and am now chin deep in remorse. This illustration is probably little more ‘tasche and goatee than beard but it’s a healthy bit of facial hair all the same. And some nice eyebrow weight never goes astray.
Once again, I am in a little old school phase, drawing on some nice 160gsm gouache paper with my Letraset Pantone markers.
Le Mer (#121)
Going with another “real” illustration today and keeping with the abstract-ish theme… I give you Le Mer… or The Frenchman took a dip in the Sea.
Mystic (#120)
OK, thought it was time for another old school Panic, actually drawn on real paper with real ink and by real people! Apologies for the crappy pic… looks heaps better in real life yo!
I busted out my wicked Pantone Letraset pens and got down with my bad self knocking out this abstract Mystic type dude (abstract cos I can draw anything and you still have to call it art!). I’m pretty happy with it considering I have no undo button!
The piece is 297 x 420mm on archival 160gsm acid free paper… and as with all the original Panic’s it’s for sale if anyone digs it enough! 🙂
Inferno (#118)
Another one for the Monster Series… Introducing INFERNO!
Project Yourself (#116)
Ok, this really is a stream of consciousness illustration… in which the concept can be explained conveniently in dot point form for those of us with busy lives.
- Simone, my business partner and I have been involved in the Penola Coonawarra Arts Festival and part of that involvement is the Illumination of the South Projection Art Installation where motion graphics and other imagery get projected on to the side of buildings in Penola.
- On the way home from the weekend’s festivities, my wife and I were discussing how Lady Gaga’s recent song has a very similar sound to Express Yourself by another “considered-shocking-back-then” artist from the eighties. I’ve since been singing Express Yourself in my head and it’s starting to drive me crazy.
- Also for the Festival, Simone and I were judges in the Design Prize Competition where designers submit posters and the winner’s piece being used in all promotional material for the coming years festival and landing $1000 prize money! One of the pieces that was awarded a highly commended was a very awesome piece of lino-cut.
- I have watched some interesting documentaries of late about some of the most dangerous and brilliant artists of the past 50 years like Charles Bukowski, William S. Burroughs and Hunter S. Thompson who are all similar in that they were only ever just themselves. No projection of anything else but who they were.
So with none of that in mind before I started drawing, when I came to the end of the illustration the above is what I attribute the Panic to.
Whoa. Deep. Not really… 🙂
When good fruit goes PIRATE bad (#115)
One more for the “When Fruit Goes Bad” series! Here are the last three!
When good fruit goes ZOMBIE bad (#114)
I love fruit and I love zombies and when I combine the two, the “When Good Fruit Goes Bad” series get’s another illustration added to its ranks!
Below are the other two in the series.
