#InkTober #2 - Skull Time

Hi,

Bit of quicker one tonight and done with pencils and mainly Sharpie.

Sharpie's aren't very forgiving when it comes to mistakes but I'm happy with the end result. Reminds me of Grant (possibly it's the sunglasses and I can see 'The OffSpring' in there too :D).

Feels good to have a challenge and do something a little different.

Enjoy!

#InkTober #1 - Surfer Girl

Hi there!

I discovered this little October inking project of Jake Parker through my very talented  friend Michel Mulipola and have taken on the challenge - time permitting I'm going to attack one a day and go for the full marathon of 31 sketches.

First up is Surfer Girl - I liked the idea of using her hair as the wave and the starfish popped in at the end.

Seeing as I'll end up with a whole bunch of these drawings if you're interested in anyone of them drop me a note and we'll sort something out. Or if you have a topic suggestion shout-out and I'll incorporate it into an upcoming sketch.

1 down, 30 to go - hang in there! :)

Enjoy!

Birthday Bash

My good friend Grant had his 40th on the weekend and he'd organised to go go-karting so I thought I'd cook up something special for his birthday card.

 

So in tune with the theme and also in the style of the stickers we used to get with bubble gum when we were kids I thought I'd rev up a 'Monster Grunge Master' card.

 

Here are the inks and final coloured picture.

 



 

Unfortunately on the print out the Alien disappeared a bit but you can see him pretty clean and clear on this one.

 

Enjoy!

World Famous in Takapuna

Hi,

This week I had the pleasure of revisiting my old office the other week and found that the caricatures I had created for them displayed on the wall!

A very good feeling indeed!

Spoon Art v2

Hi,

Ever on the lookout for a follow up to 'Spoon Art' today I give you 'Knife & Cross Spoons'!

The funny thing is, I'm sure even if you just chucked the knife and spoons into the sink you couldn't get a better composition and on the other hand 'why would you place them so perfectly in the sink'?

I think we either have a performance artist in the building or someone with a latent unrecognised talent for arrangement. :)

(And the sink is still lovely and clean :D)
Enjoy!
Rob.

Spoon Art



Sometimes odd things capture your imagination and one trip to the kitchen for a hot drink struck me as intriguing and fun. Random spoon placements by previous visitors or an uncanny arrangement? I'll let you decide.



 

All I will says is that it piqued my interest and made me smile.

Enjoy!
Rob
