le danish house

Daily doodle today takes the shape of a wee Danish house. I’m researching and referencing locations for my mouse-based stories (see below). Living in a hot and intense place like Israel occasionally makes me hanker for the north, and a scandinavian island could be great right now.

Le Fuzz

Today’s daily doodle: I’ve been having a blast with Chris Wahl’s photoshop brushes, who’s generously made them available for free. Lots of fun to be had. I’m looking for some characters for an educational ipad app- and something like this little guy could do it.

Japan Art

I met some friends in Tel Aviv for a drink and this popped out in my sketchbook while I was waiting for them to turn up. Some folk from Aardman are currently getting together a series of postcards as  a fundraiser for relief in Japan- in the vein of the grassroots movement Artists Help Japan.  I thought the sketch could work for my contribution. I’ll update you as soon as that project goes to press.

Thoughts and prayers are with the Japanese people.

Daily Doodles: Sketchbook detritus

Bass players with afros are an enduringly good source of inspiration. While the grey guy is every visa clerk I had bad dreams about.

Bring on the funk

Today’s daily doodle got a bit out of hand, but I felt my bass player deserved some proper treatment. I like this guy. I’d like him to come round and hang out for a while.

Daily doodles

old lady_1_webEvery day I stop storyboarding for half an hour and do something just for me, to explore a technique, and to draw more old people. Old people are the best.

The bus lady

A friend commented that the previous post could be the start of an animated short, which I dug, so I painted up the lady character to get a feel for her. (..does that sound wierd?)

Life is Story: On the bus

Took a bus ride into work and was blessed with a conversation happening behind me that diverted all my attention from the book I was reading.

First it was the singing.1Then the racism. This in a bus also containing Ethopian passengers. 2 I was plotting to turn round and fling a few well chosen putdowns (if only I was that quick), when the conversation took a different turn:3
