BIRD VS WORM was born from my doodling of a range of characters that I’m going to paint on to Piper’s chest of drawers in her room. Now, the characters themselves are probably a little boring but when pitted against each in other in battle? Well…. I think I hear a new series theme coming on!
Today I decided to go with a mock vintage movie poster in the quasi-style of the 70 and 80’s posters of the B grade action and sci-fi films. I’m pretty sure are a real movies out there already called the Time Bandit but mine is in no way referring to those movies… I think.
I’m also not spending too much time on the Panic’s as I have a few girls to fuss over… namely my 2 day old daughter Piper, my four-year old Neave and my lovely wife Elle. 🙂
I’m really enjoying this new series I’m doing, Future Finds gives me an opportunity to get a bit silly and sci-fi all at the same time!
Future Finds #121: Sky Towns
In the year 2011, overpopulation will send many humans to the skies. Massive aeroplanes with bio-domes attached cruise the air offering their residents beautiful views of such earth wonders like the Amazon desert and the arctic wastelands of Australia.
Today my lovely wife gave birth to another beautiful little girl, Piper Grace Hood weighing in at 7p 11oz
This ‘Panic is for her.
Thought I’d continue the Future Finds theme I had going from yesterday. Mad props to the Simpsons episode I stole the idea from 🙂
Future Finds #33: Computers
In the year 2011, computers will be three times as fast as current systems and twice as large. Due to the increase in processor speed, computers will need to be run by diesel engines and the chemical waste produced by operating a single machine will make working as a computer technician one of the most dangerous occupations of the future.
Well, I’m going to go out on a limb here and call this one of the best Panic’s so far. Had some great fun with this. I love the weekend because I get to spend more than 45 minutes on the illustrations!
Tell me what you think of it! I love comments and feedback
The idea behind the piece came from a few images I found while StumbleUpon-ing around the web from a book written in sixties that had cool drawings and predictions about what 2011 would be like… impossible stuff like “Vision Desks” and “Vision Phones” and “Global Networks”… pfft, crazy-assed hippy freaks! 🙂
Future Find #2: KittiBot
In the year 2011, all domesticated animals have become extinct but thanks to technology, little Susie won’t miss out on cuddling up to her favourite kitty. Pictured above is a well-loved first generation KittiBot which, due to rising sea levels and increased salt in the air, would rust out within months.
My business partner Simone asked for a whale, so a whale she shall get.
Woke up today with a damn headache and it’s still hanging around… professional hazard for someone who spends 10+ hours a day staring at a computer screen.
A real quick Panic today… a bit over it and just want to sit down and chill out. Here is The Spider Illustration, brought to you by the letter S and the number 70.
Those who know me personally know how much I love red wine. I’m lucky enough to live near Coonawarra and have a few clients and close friends who work in the wine industry so I’m always kept in good supply!
