Weight Evolution

Based, of course, on the famous ape-to-man image, this is a logo/promotional image for Weight Evolution.com. As I mentioned before, I like drawing large people, so this was quite enjoyable, even if the lady’s lovely curves melt down as she walks. ^__^ This header is a lot more formal-looking than the cartoons I usually do, [...]

Sketch of the Week: The Savvy Freelancer

Lexi Rodrigo keeps a number of blogs, including The Savvy Freelancer with useful freelancing tips. She asked me for a new blog header, and we went through a couple of concepts for it. This sketch is one we didn’t go with, but I think it has a certain something so I wanted to share. Check [...]

New baby card

This is a card I drew for my cousin who had her first baby. He was kind of a giant baby apparently, but they’re both still doing well. The colours were much nicer than this, but my scanner wasn’t really up to scanning this (poor thing is getting old). Oh well. At least you can [...]

Sketch of the Week: Old folks

One in a series of older people I cartoonised. I like the way these two came out. Although the characters were based on a photo, I changed the poses and expressions. I like doing that, it feels more like being an artist rather than a very slow copier machine. I should have finished the man’s [...]

Masots: LaVonne Ellis

LaVonne Ellis runs Customerlove, a kind of communal challenge for small businesses and freelancers to make our clients and customers feel loved. It’s rather awesome, and some time ago she asked me to draw her some mascots for the site, based on the idea of her as a kind of super-waitress. I did three mascots, [...]

Sketch of the Week: Feet!

I thought it’d be fun to post my practice sketches more often, and it’s less hassle now that I do them digitally some of the time. So here is the start to what will hopefully be a series: sketch of the week! Feet is a subject a lot of beginning artists find difficult, and not-so-beginning [...]

Giant Squid Love

A friend was preparing a giant squid themed suite of birthday presents for his boyfriend (some people, eh?). He asked me to draw a cute giant squid to feature on a T-shirt and gift tags etc. Giant squid are really interesting, but it’s hard to find good pictures of them because they’re generally very deep [...]

Personal Mascots

These are some personal mascots for Aubrey, who wanted mascots to represent setting out on new adventures, being more playful, and balancing love for others with self-compassion. If you like the idea of having personal mascots, check out personalmascots.com for pricing and other details.

Cartoon portraits

Not long ago, I offered a special pay-what-you-can sale for portraits of people’s loved ones, pets, etc. It was really fun, and thanks to everyone who took me up on the offer. These are photographs rather than scans, because my scanner doesn’t pick up these kinds of colours very well.

Sketching large people

Wow, it’s been an age since I posted anything, due to technical difficulties. Guess I better make up for that now. Here are some of my morning practice sketches, for once done digitally rather than my preferred cheap paper and colouring pencil. I like drawing large people, there’s lots of interesting stuff to draw and [...]

Thumbnail image for Mommy blogger

This is a fun image I drew on behalf of Alexia Rodrigo, a blog-at-home mother and marketing fiend. She’s selling the image on T-shirts and mugs from one of her websites. We went backwards and forwards on the colours quite a bit, because it had to be just right. We got it in the end [...]

Blog Mistress Mascot

This is a mascot for the Blogging Mistress, who blogs about WordPress and how to make it super shiny, as well as about the nuts and bolts of blogging itself. Believe it or not, but this was the first time I’ve been asked to draw a woman in a martini glass. I did enjoy it, [...]

Minimalism

So, yes, they’re stick figures. I didn’t think you could make money drawing stick figures for people, but it turns out, you can. Who would ask for that, you wonder, what could an illustration like this possibly be for? Well, it’s a kind of permanent exterior decoration thing. And no, I’m not sure why either. [...]

Christmas Dolls

This was a gift drawn for Evelyn Hewett, who draws comics. In fact, these are two of her characters, puppetised by me. And no, I’m not sure why he has toes but no fingers. Happy Christmas, Evelyn. And happy Christmas to one and all. May you be safe, may you be happy, may you be [...]

Just a couple more monsters

OK, truth be told, I could easily post another monster every day for the rest of this year, and probably well into next year. I won’t do that, but here’s just a couple more, in black and white. These monsters were drawn for the special monster journal, available now from Monsterjournals.com. It’s a journal for [...]

A Multitude of Monsters

These are only some of the monsters I drew for people to celebrate Chocolate Sunday (an important holiday for monsterkind). Because sometimes, people need monsters. And then they call me. For more monsters and monster-related goodness, visit the dedicated website: Monsterjournals.com. If you want your own monster drawn, contact me for a quote.
