Illustration Friday - Olympics

(marker and digital colour)

Illustration Friday provides another opportunity to rake around in the cartoon barrel and dig up this old one for this week's topic - Olympics.

Illustration Friday - Mythology

(Black marker and digital colour)

Still digging into the archives for this offering to Illustration Friday for their topic - Mythology.

Illustration Friday - Blue

(Black marker with digital colour)

The logo I did for a convention, now slightly reworked for last week's Illustration Friday's topic: Blue.

Illustration Friday - The Letter A

(Black marker with digital colour)

Previously published here as "The Definite Article" just for the fun of it and now conveniently recycled for this week's Illustration Friday challenge - "The Letter A".

While I'm waiting for the flood of comments on my recent suggestion, here's a contribution to this week's Illustration Friday brief - Map.

Illustration Friday : Time Travel

People

People (Oil on canvas, Photoshop)

It's a long time since I posted here and even longer since I contributed to Illustration Friday. So here is my contribution to this week's challenge - People.

Journey

"With hope in his heart and all his worldly goods on his back, he set off on his great journey."

An illustration for this week's Illustration Friday topic - Journey.

King

This week's challenge from Illustration Friday is : King. I've dug out another cartoon from the Archive (originally done with a sketching fountain pen and ink), changed the caption and run it through Photoshop to colour it.

It's nice to be back on the treadmill.

Shadow

Mota Tamer (mixed media)

This week, Illustration Friday asked for something on the theme of Shadow. Here's a cover I did for the fanzine MOTA in 1977, given the once over in Photoshop. Posted here in memory of my old mate, Terry Hughes.

Creature

For some reason notifications of new subjects are not arriving in my email inbox from Illustration Friday. As a result, I have no time to do something new for this week's challenge - Creature. I hope this will suffice.

Underwater

(Marker and digital colour)


The new challenge from Illustration Friday is - Underwater.

Lush

Lush (Black marker and digital colour)

There are still lots of things preventing me from working on a regular basis, but today I digitally coloured this old (1994) drawing to submit it to Illustration Friday for this week's challenge - Lush.

Surveillance

In an attempt to get back into practice, here's my offering for this week's Illustration Friday challenge - Surveillance. 

I've used an old fanzine cover which started life with a background by Sheryl Birkhead, had a figure added by me and now has digital colour added. I acknowledge there's a little clunky corner in the lower right of the background where I had to take out the issue number - must do better.

Swim

This week, Illustration Friday asked for something on the subject of Swim. 

This is a heading from an old fanzine of mine called Snorkel, adapted and coloured, in the nick of time.

Eye Glasses

It's a while since I posted anything on Illustration Friday, so when they announced their challenge this week - Eye Glasses - I thought I'd bring this one up from the vaults. It's a slightly altered version of an earlier cartoon, replacing the caption with a sign within the cartoon itself.

Wheel

Wheelboat (Marker, digital colour)

You may have seen this before when I posted it in 2010.  It's some time since I've submitted anything to Illustration Friday and in the absence of something fresh for this week's subject - Wheel - I thought I'd enter this one.

Stretch

You may have seen this before, but it seemed appropriate to get it down from the shelf and use it for this week's Illustration Friday topic - Stretch.

Zoom

So much to do, so little time. I've posted the original of this elsewhere on this blog, but today's coloured version is for Illustration Friday's challenge - Zoom.

Tree

Tree at Grasmere (Marker in sketchbook)

Not a cartoon, of course, but this blog also carries illustrations and this week's Illustration Friday brief is - Tree.
