New banner header!

I was a little tired of doors (shocker!), and I thought the blog header looked untidy, so I made some banners from my dirigibles art.

I used a neat little free font called Stamping Nico that I got from dafont.com. Picked the third banner because it had a little more colour & variety. Hope you like it!

last pages

Last dirigibles from the Sketchbook Project. It'll feel strange not to have that notebook with me wherever I go.

Things I learned, which may only apply to me:

Clouds make everything better (or at least more three-dimensional).

You'll always have some pretty crap pages. Don't fixate, just move on to your next idea.

You think there'll be time to do the cover. There won't. Do that first.

Prang kids' watercolours are not only easier, but nicer to use than you'd think.

Goodbye and good luck, sketchbook.

ALMOST DONE part 2

Some of these have quite haphazard cropping! I need to clean them up for my upcoming portfolio site.






My favourite, a mash-up of Gibson and Hogarth (and my own silly notions).
