really nice sketchbook, what a cool style! I'm impressed with how well your perspective works, you obviously know what you're doing underneath, construction-wise.

if I were to give any advice it would be to maybe stray a bit from your style, and go exploring. maybe some studies or something?

hi neonduck, thanks for posting matey. I'm trying to stay focused on this way of working at the mo, i've tried lots of different things in the past and i still go off on the odd tangent but i find this way of working the most enjoyable. Good advice though man, its great to experiment with different methods from time to time.

Heres a big-post of previous work!

I like your whimsical style! What do you find to be your influences?

[jon n]

hi guys thanks for posting.
pandanomium- the artist thats had the biggest influence on me is probably quentin blake. in terms of subject matter for personal work its whatever floats through the old brain that day!

the great motor music hall machine exhibition!

This scene was drawn by a class of year 5 kids at a primary school. i spent an artish afternoon with them, got em doodling and they produced this. i'd love to make a book of images like this, whack a narrative in there and get it published. the kids could do all the work and i could take all the credit!
