In the Night Garden Artwork...

Got Kids? Then you must have seen this great show... My Daughter just loves it. This painting is for her bedroom. I gotta say, it was wonderful getting stuck in to some old fashioned drawing and painting. This has been the first 'real' illustration I have started since we arrived in New Zealand... too long, I know, too long... In case you are wondering what I mean by real... I have been using a wacom drawing tablet and Corel Painter for most of my work over the years and as I did most of my work on the dining room table, there just has not been the room to get all my paints and pencils out! Now I have my new studio and it is fantastic - In a real happy place...

Images from the Old West....

It seems as though a lot of my recent work has visited this theme...The Gunsmoke book series has been my mainstream intro to the subject...a subject I was really pleased to be involved with - gotta love the Old West!

DI: PAUL SHIPPER

I've just posted a fantastic new interview with Paul Shipper over at Design Inspiration. Paul is a relatively new member of SFG and if you check out his work, you'll see why that couldn't make us happier.

Be sure to check out his interview, I think you'll enjoy it.

Texture: Dumbledore...

I have had a go with some texture on a relatively smooth original illustration here... added an emboss filter to the texture to try and recreate a gesso look...
I think it gives the illustration a more oldy-worldy feel which suits the image...
