A nice simple illy today. I was grooving away to Sia’s wicked song CLAP YOUR HANDS and thought I’d draw something along those lines!
Clap your hands! (#126)

Trippin’ on a Sugar Overload (#125)
Back to the marker and paper in the real world today with another abstractly piece drawn with the letraset Pantone markers. You will start to see a pattern in the colours I’m using on these pieces… it’s because I only have seven usable markers left! Time for some more I think!
So, I started drawing with no real thing in mind apart from some nice contrasting shapes and weirdness and what turned out could only be described as the visuals you would get from too much sugar and other good stuff, hence the title! 🙂
Once again, drawn on 160gsm acid-free gouache paper (for that nice watercolourly effect) with Letraset Pantone Tria markers (all seven of them!)
Tangled (#124)
I got to thinking about family today and how entwined are we to our family tree. Does your ancestral heritage have any influence on who you are now. This lead me to think that it must really start to become a tangled mess of inherited traits and oddities as more generations are born with the introduction of other families DNA into the “pool” as well as dormant attributes reappearing generations later.
How much do I have in common with an ancestor from 150 years ago and how different will my great-great-great grandchildren be from me? I suppose I could take up genealogy but I have too many hobbies already 🙂
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! 🙂
More Feathers… (#119)
Another feather for you all today… playing around with some different techniques but nothing sticking yet…
Inferno (#118)
Another one for the Monster Series… Introducing INFERNO!
Finely Feathered (#117)
The Panic started as an opportunity for me to stretch my illustrative muscles (or lack thereof) and escape the bounds of day-to-day design work. This means I’ll try to experiment with many styles over the course of the 365 illustrations I’ll be doing. As the past few Panic’s have been rather simple ones I thought I’d get a bit more involved! 🙂
Once again, drawn, lettered and coloured in Illustrator CS4 and then textured in Photoshop.
