apropos of not much part 2

scribbles

A while ago I posted this page from my sketch book, since then I have been playing with colour,
tracing in illustrator, redrawing in illustrator and colouring in photoshop.
I am not happy with it yet but I am enjoying the journey, please let me know your thoughts.

Well I am not to sure how some up the last two months other than I have really really enjoyed it.
I have met some really cool and interesting people at the live scribbles and been able to share so many thoughts and ideas and drank the finest coffee, I have had a blast.

Big thank you to urban coffee company and all those sail in her, all the many people who have stopped for a chat and all those who purchased artwork. Anybody wishing to purchase artwork after today you can contact me via the website www.scribbleffiti.com feel free to give me a call.

apropos of not much

scribbles

Thought I'd share this with you, a page from my sketch book. I normally sketch in black gel pen or plain pencil. but by drawing in light blue it had quit a profound effect on what I scribbled and the speed in which I created or invented these characters, it took less than 30 mins and must admit I really like them. Just a passing thought bye.
