ape hanger

I had this idea for the Illustration Friday topic of "intention", that 100 monkeys , if given long enough, would probably solve Rubik's cube.
This one did.

urban myth

There are some pretty scary urban myths out there, some I didn't even want to read, but the old croc/alligator in the sewer system was plausible.

floyd's new glasses

'Tis ages since I posted something, so this one is for the Illustration Friday topic of "scattered'.
We all know a beam of light can be broken into its component colours by a prism, however Floyd was not too impressed with the reaction of his new triangular glasses , wasn't exactly over the moon about it, one could say!

floating cats

A strange anomaly existed in the cat's backyard, the gravitational field of the earth had become a little distorted, imperfect maybe, causing problems for the 4 legged creatures.

the drongo

This piece was inspired out of my bushwalk in Kakadu National Park, where I walked for 14 days backpacking in the wild, with a group, some of them keen birdwatchers. The spangled drongo does indeed exist, and many of our sightings of this one, as well as others, was where the bird was!

bird vs cat

For the IF topic of "perennial", I thought of the old bird/cat relationship, not normally a friendly one.
This one is from a hand drawn sketch, then using Illustrator and Photoshop. I am painting another one on board using acrylics, but it is a bit slower to do.

send in the clowns

response to the topic of "asleep" on IF.

as ye sow, so ye shall weep

This is one I had a go at painting with acrylics, about A4 size.
I had some sense of deja vu, as I am the father of twins, and it only struck me yesterday . Was a long while ago, and with 2 others, the twins were quite an armload.

as ye cultivate

My response to the IF topic of "cultivate". I hunted back through old sketchbooks, done late at night from soppy photos, in bed just before dropping off the planet, and then this. I have painted a version and will see how that goes, this one being pencil sketch with digital finish.

the joy of cactus licking

A last minute post for the Illustration Friday topic of "warning". Some people just never listen to their mum!
