A panda or two

 A panda I've been playing with.  I can't wait to actually screen print them properly.  These are digital dopplegangers for the moment.  I'm currently sketchbooking like a fiend and trying to work out if this will be best suited to a picturebook or a comic..  

If you hadn't already realised it he's a master of disguise.

The victor

So after the still-to-be-drawn chase and fight for chips page this happens.

Just wait 'til the seagulls find out. 

Below- The victor with his spoils.

The seagulls descend...

This is page two of the comic I was working on.  

There's a flight/chase sequence to follow but I haven't  drawn that one yet.

A wee close up of the stranger. Where's he off to?

And this is how the first two pages look together.

A Stranger page

This is the first page of the comic I am working on at the moment.  

Well, the first page of this section, it's infinite in structure at the moment.

and this is a little close up.

The stranger

This is the full print of my fold-out booklet.  There is also a grey version.

And as promised this is the stranger.  He's a tiny, chubby bird of mystery.  

I'm currently illustrating a comic book of his exploits.

Ooh and massive congratulations to the Children's Book Illustration students who took 1st, 2nd, 3rd and many highly commended places at this years Macmillan prize.

Stranger by the Sea

                      A little promotional screen print I made yesterday called 'Stranger by the Sea.'

The stranger will be revealed soon....

Seagull photo booth

A little something I printed yesterday.  Apologies for the massiveness of it but it's all the better to see it with.

Rawk!

The seagull obsession continues.  It's worrying how similar to a seagull I am in some ways.

Will circle strangers for chips?  Check!

Will steal ice cream from unsuspecting strangers?  Check!

Will parade nonchalantly down any pier whilst secretly eyeing up ice cream and chips?  Check!

To see the sea

Seeing as the sun has finally got its hat on in the south east I though it was time to take that paddle in the sea...but it seemed like a lot of effort so I just let Gully do it instead.

Book covers

Whilst I'm getting on with other things I thought I'd display

 my entries for this years Puffin and Penguin design competitions.
