Crazy Busy...

A couple of months ago when I made the move to cut back my Toy Industry work to part time so that I could focus on growing my freelance business, I kinda thought it'd be a slow transition that involved me twiddling my thumbs a bit till the work came.

Boy was I mistaken. Its been crazy busy, but also exciting. Its exposed me to work involved in both the Animation and Video Game industries and provided me with whole new experiences. Its nice to be learning new skills.

The downside tho, is that I've had no time for anypersonal projects but hey, when the work's there you've gotta take it! This little rat sketch is the first bit of sketching I managed for myself in a little while. Scribbled it up last nite - obviously still seeing the carry over of the Tim Burton influence.

Tassie Holiday Adventure : The illustrated version!

As I said in my previous post, Alana and I got this idea to record our holiday in Tassie in an illustrated (somewhat fantasical) childrens book/cartoon format through a series of sketches I did over there in my sketchbook.

Story goes top to bottom sequentially...

Tassie holiday sketchbook

Alana and I have just got back from a ten day trip to Tassie and I was pleased whilst down there to be able to get a chance to do a bit of sketching. It felt nice to be drawing something that wasn't using a wacom tablet.

We even got the idea half way through the trip to do a sort of childrens book semi fantasy take on the trip. Was kind of an excuse for me to draw myself and alana as these little cartoon characters whose take on the situation was a little more fantastic than it was. (I will post that illustrated story in my next post).

For the meantime here are a couple of unrelated miscellaneous sketches that I also did. Please excuse the quality of the images as they are from out digital camera as my scanner is out of action at the moment...
