Dover Pharoas

On a trip to Dover to visit an old uni friend, we went for a day out to Dover Castle, a majestic example of Norman dominance. The castle was brilliant, I managed to do a sketch of the Roman lighthouse known as a Pharoas...

The day was mix of cloud and sunlight, the clouds give the drawing more atmosphere as do the people, who were standing chatting by the flagpole. They talked for ages, very professional models... :) The sketch also reminds me of Victorian renderings, like the ones at the beginning of the Cheers credits..."Where everybody knows your name!"...

Lucie's Guardfrog...

A dear friend of mine from my foundation course, who I reconnected with after going to seperate universities.

Anyways i digress...

Lucie and I are bus buddies now and get on the same morning bus & we chat about life and it's realities. Lucie has a fear of frogs and hates the thought of them hopping towards her. She told me she thought of a Guardfrog that would protect her from danger...and other frogs...

We discussed what it would look like, and that it would be like a tribal frog with grass skirt and spear.

So Gav's blog proudly presents...

...Fresenius the frog!

Jade dragon

A colleague of mine who has become a good friend, asked me to draw her a Chinese dragon as she was born in the chinese year of the dragon. I love chinese dragons, because they aren't just a big lizard like the european dragons. They are an amalgamation of many animals, including the deer, tiger and fish. Eastern dragons tend to be good. Here is my dragon, a jade dragon to be precise...

No Cheese!

Another work inspired piece, this time in the canteen... My mates Nish and Gav asked for cheese sarnies, and they had run out! So after two days and no cheese, i decided to do a comic strip about my theory of why there isn;t anymore cheese! The dinner lady is real and she is that stern looking, but she is very funny! Wallace and Gromit, eat your cheddar heart out! :D

The Wicked Nish of the west!

Whilst working in my admin nightmare, after so much data entry, there is only so much you can take, so to relax i do a few sketches! This pic was inspired by my mate Nish! He had a desk plant which we called Marge! Anyways, he used to water Marge with rain water from a bottle. The bottle contained Mozquito larvae and i told him to kill them otherwise the will become mozzies! two weeks later, he told me one actually flew out when he opened the bottle! It reminded me of the Wicked witch of the west and her "pretties!" Here is my homage!...

Heads...or Heads? (The fall of the White Knight)

The second image of my Dark Knight series...Harvey Dent aka Two-face...

Why...so serious?...

Just saw the new Batman movie:The Dark Knight. Heathe Ledger was a legend! The film was so brilliant, i was inspired the next day to draw the two villains: The Joker and Two-face...
