DON'T PANIC

I have received printed copies of my pack design from don't panic so you can expect to see them on the streets in the next week or so. Keep em peeled!

DAPS

Creativity is a fickle beast. Sometimes the juices refuse to flow, other times you see something that commands you to draw it. In this instance it was my shoe.

PIMP

gradients are happening. I'm seeing them all over and though they generally have a bad rep, when applied effectively no one can deny how slick they look. A prime example is in the Justice DVNO video by SoMe which is full of super gloss logos with a retro spacetastic disco flex. I can spend hours creating these effects just for the fun of it. I even have an airbrush which, I have discovered, you are required to sell a portion of your soul to get good with. Its really messy with seemingly invisible overspray tinting everything it touches (my mac speakers are now forever tinted pink) and although you get a lovely texture with it, photoshop is a lot more forgiving. I still find many uses for it, I recently customised a plain white pair of daps into a hot pink to fluro green affair! sex.

DS FANBOY AHOY!

Some like minded individuals over at www.dsfanboy.com have featured the glow stars drawing. checkit

RAYBANMAN

this is a character inspired by the old 80s Kia-Ora advert "its too orangy for crows" At one point of the advert the sun which has become a basketball, lands on a female crow's head and becomes laundry which in turn springs to life and has a little dance. It had a bra for eyes. This is what you would see dancing along singing 'kia ora' if my laundry came to life. Not that I wash my RayBans. I did wash my mobile once..

GLOW STARS

As mentioned in an earlier post, I have always had a fascination for glow in the dark things. As a kid my walls were covered in glow in the dark posters, stickers and glow stars, I had glow in the dark PJs and even glow in the dark braces! This is where the inspiration for this drawing came, It depicts all the things I wanted for christmases in my youth and would lay awake at night gazing at their glow in the dark incarnations blue tacked to the wall
