Waltz in a gallery.

I am back once again to doing my daily sketches and today I had another go at doing a space hamster comic strip. You will have noticed that the item in the strip that becomes the target of destruction is in fact Marcel Duchamp's famous 'Fountain' during his time with the Dada art movement. 

Looking at this strip I wonder why or what it was that compelled me to draw a strip, destroying a famous piece of art. The only answer that I can think of is the simple task of communicating humour to the audience, much the same way as Duchamp did when he submitted a urinal to the Society of Independent Artists really as to make a joke about the preconceptions of what is art. Asking myself why I do a drawing is a question I sometimes feel I don't ask enough of and it is something to consider and exercise in future projects. I guess the tour guide radio was right, this was thought provoking.

Have you seen the muffin man?


Thought I shake up the daily sketch routine this time, with a sequential piece. I got pretty cheesed off (yes I am allowed to say that) with some people yesterday so I decided to vent said frustration in a creative manner. Again I have called upon the great 'Space Hamster' to aide this cause and the age old nursery rhyme of 'The Muffin Man'. Now I have to apologize for misspelling Drury in this strip but I hope it is still clear enough that it ties in with the 'Muffin Man'.

I had a lot of fun putting this little piece together and has made me think that I ought to do more sequential imagery than just 'pin-up' illustrations so that I may continue to get better at telling narratives sequential which is essentially what I want to do rather than just do one off drawings.

Cyber Scare


Hey folks, this image was supposed to have been earlier this week but I got a bit distracted with other things anyway here is another image that is gonna be part of my Dr Who series of images.
As you can see this time we have the Cybermen, as a scarecrow, with this version being reminiscent from 'Tomb of the Cybermen' though I changed it's eyes to be more menacing. I have enjoyed making this image and I hope you all likes.

Dalek likes daisies...

This is my doodle of a Dalek, who is infatuated with a daisy, twas a most random scenario that i could think of and digitally coloured it, also I quite like the style that came out of this. It's not my normal way of drawing since this is pretty loose for me but I think I may try more of these types of images in the future.
