J.D. Salinger

A quick sketch of J.D. Salinger who died today.

Sneeky-Peek Johnny Cash

Er, can I take back my new year's resolution?! It's been slow for the old caricatures round here as paying work has been taking my attention but I've managed to grab an hour here and there to plug away at Ol' JC; so I thought I'd show a little bit of some of the detail.
I'm having good fun working out some of the available (but unknown) fx that have been buried in my software, and I spent a lot of yesterday just experimenting with brushes and filters which I'll no doubt be using in the final stages. Stay tooned!

Johnny Cash - line rough

Here's a first stage WIP of the late, great Johnny Cash. Just getting the general shape sorted out. It's showing him in his early career but hard life and pills are already being written into his face. Gonna be fun to sculpt those lines and sunken cheeks.

Darren Fletcher

At last; 2010 has started with Man U's mid-fielder Darren Fletcher. I can't explain why only it had been knocking about as an experiment since last year so I thought I'd better do something with it and finish it off.

Happy New Year!

Hope y'all had a great break and got lots of time off to get some serious artwork done - ha! ha!
I stumbled out of the blocks with a sick computer so I haven't managed to roar into twenty-ten with anything like the gusto I intended. Fortunately, equilibrium and equanimity have now returned to Cook Towers and I intend to make good on my perennial new year's resolution. New drawings and artwork up soon - promise!
