This sketch was done to accompany yesterday’s “sexy” babe. She does have big Eighties hair doesn’t she?
Sexy?
I don’t remember the exact circumstances that resulted in this drawing. It was in 1999 or 2000 and an old colleague of Nizzibet’s (it might even have been the guy who asked for animated website serial ideas) had asked her if she knew of any comic book artists. Nizzibet suggested me. He didn’t doubt that I could draw comics. What he wasn’t sure about was if I could draw sexy babes. Apparently sexy babes were an important part of the project. So I set aside my ridiculous idea that I drew sexy babes all the time and endeavored to draw a Sexy Babe.
And was told – not what he was looking for. And, too Eighties.
Oh well.
The Octopus
A quick break to post a new sketch. This was done for Warren Ellis’s Remake/Remodel exercise over at his Whitechapel forum. Since he doesn’t host images there I needed to find somewhere else on the web to post it. Head on over to Whitechapel if you want to see what other artists have done with the concept.
Fair Budget with Text
And here is yesterday’s artwork with added text.
Going Up
This illustration was done for marketing materials for Fair Budget. I drew the silhouette of the woman running up the stairs. I think Nizzibet did the rest of the work.
PPE Brochure Cover
I know I’ve shown this illustration before but I like the layout of this brochure cover. So thank you for your indulgence.
Rain Cycle Photoshopped
Once the individual vignettes had been pulled out we (well, Jeff) reassembled them so that each image flowed more cleanly to the next. Compare this version with the original painting.
Put That Nasty Stuff Away!
Let’s lock it up and forget about it for the next twenty thousand years.
Careful, It Bites
If toxic waste really did look all ghosty and vicious there’d probably be more enthusiasm about cleaning it up. It would be a macho thing.
“What do you do?”
“I’m a cop!”
“Oh yeah? I put out oil fires!”
“Feh. My son wrestles toxic waste on live television!”
Process Wastes Carefully
After ten years I don’t remember what the duck is supposed to be doing. I’m guessing that he’s filtering the wastes but why he would want to do this when it’s raining is beyond me.
