SFG: New Work...

I'm a little embarrassed to say that I haven't posted here for quite some time - apologies Jeff - it's now time to get my backside into gear and get on with it. What better time than now - 'New Work', this is an image that follows on from an earlier piece done in March when I was wishing for a good Summer here in the U.K. as last year's was dreadful - unfortunately this year's here in the U.K. has turned out even worse...



...Here it is alongside the earlier mentioned 'Wish' image, using the wishbone from a chicken as the sandal toe post.

Happy Valentine's Day...

A little something for my lovely wife, Happy Valentine's Day - love you...

Another big Update...

Blimey, it was only on December 29th that I last updated my web site, and now, less than 6 weeks later there is another very big update. Lots of changes, lots of new work and more new prints. Not bad really.

N.B. - You may need to empty your cache to view it.

Hope you all like the new look... www.pgarland.com

SFG: Microscopic

Just finished this pitch for Coca Cola Zero - definitely a microscopic waistline and certainly microscopic amounts of sugar - ie, zero...

SFG: Round...

Another one that can just about creep into the 'Round' brief...

Blimey I really have gone very 'Humanitarian' this week. This time it's a piece to get the world thinking more about the dreaded Landmines that are dotted around the world - the victims of them and their families.

Hopefully the image really should make you think. Is it a walnut? Or is it a grenade? Just a little irony and surrealism there, though hopefully not sarcastic or ridiculing...

SFG: Round...

This one could have been entered for either last weeks or this weeks challenge I suppose, but either way the helmet is definitely 'Round'.

Originally produced as an Advertising piece, it is part of my 'Icons' series, see my own news page/blog for a full description.

John Wayne's Hat

First of all massive apologies for not posting for quite some considerable time, I've been extremely busy of late...

Anyway, here's my attempt at the 'Hats' brief set last week - just managed to get it in. I'm currently doing a series of illustrations based on famous 'Icons', this one is John Wayne, a bit of a hero of mine when I was a kid. The question is, is it John Wayne reading his own biography, or is it an obsessed fan?? And no, it isn't me.

Have a look at my web site for my latest work and a link to my blog shows all of the other 'Icons', hope you like them...

Paul Garland - SFG:Texture...

For my entry to this week's challenge I have created a piece of work to advertise the major update that I have just completed on my web site, it includes numerous new pieces of work which have replaced some slightly older pieces. You can see my updated web site here: pgarland.com

The new piece of work to advertise the 'update' both here and on other web sites is a simple idea and is somewhat experimental (though I have to admit I quite like the way it's all going.) It is also the latest in my 'Hands' series...

PYBOT - Moulin Rouge - Paul Garland

Coming up with something original for the Burlesque show that is the legendary Moulin Rouge in Paris was a challenge to say the least, particularly as the benchmark was written by Toulouse-Lautrec in the 1890's. After much research and drawing, the idea suddenly came, to use a flower as the dancer's skirt and to attach the stocking tops with a suspender in the shape of the Eiffel Tower. With the subtle use of type I am really quite pleased at how this has turned out...
