What began has a bored Friday night Doodle, became this creation of three crazy, odd characters. At first I was going to name it: The sexy Cat legs gang, but have chosen: I love my stupid head! And its just another excuse to go mad with colour, which is the best bit :)

 Finished drawing ready to Paint :)

Mid-way through, as you can see, I work from Background to foreground, because I can build on the paint hiding untidy lines... I do enjoy a clean line, Nice and sharp.

 Lonely rabbit falls in love: I felt I needed to do a follow up piece to "Lonely rabbit draws a friend" piece, because that was sad. Now Lonely rabbit is NOT lonely anymore and is really very Happy with Mr Hare, and I'm sure they'll have many bunnies together! :)))) YAY

Reference material and original sketch.

 Lonely rabbit draws a friend. You'll notice that this is a sad image, actually even more sad than you may realise. This is a rabbit without a friend and feels very lonely. Its interesting to note that the Shadow cast by the drawing and the perfectly placed flowers makes it look almost grave like! Could this rabbit have lost a loved one? and so turns to her imagination for escapism?

 Original notebook sketch.

 Drawing it out.

 

 Texturing the Sky.

 Midway through, and almost there :)

 

Mickey Mouse's glass eye. Its a piece of work I did during the end of the first year at Lincoln University England, but I never scanned the image. So now I finally got round to it, and it looks Great :) Also there is a silly Lord of the Rings tie-in reference. Anyway, hope it makes you smile :)

 *Chick Solo on Taunhen. Just for fun, and I'm sure Star Wars fans will know the reference :)

 Process work.

* Han Solo on Tauntaun. This is the influence of course :)

A successful evening at the degree show, lots of wonderful work from great new talent, including myself of course. :)

For a recent Competition, My Face at its B E S T.!

 Say Bazonka everyday, thats what my grandma used to say, it keeps at bay the Asian flu' and your elbows free from glue. So say Bazonka everyday, thats what my Grandma used to say.

 Don't say it if your socks are dry! or if the Sun is in your eye!

 Never say it in the Dark (the word you see emits a spark).

 Only say it in the day (thats what my Grandma used to say).

 Young Tiny Tim took her advice he said it once he said it twice, he said it till the day he died,

 And even then he tried to say Bazonka everyday, just like my Grandma used to say.

Now folks around declare it's true that everynight at half past two if you'll stand upon your head and shout Bazonka! from your bed you'll hear the word as clear as day just like my Grandma used to say!

 My sleeping children are still flying dreams in their goose down heads.

 The lush of the river singing morning songs, fish watch their ceiling turn Sun white.

 The grey green Pike lances upstream kale, Like Mermaid's hair points the water's drift.

 All is morning hush and Bird Beautiful.

I only, I didn't have Flu.

Me with Spike Milligan! :D
