KMFDM Animation Frames Unearthed


A fan recently sent me two frames from the KMFDM animation ‘Drug Against War’ which I worked on with H-Gun Studios in Chicago, circa 1993. The top one is a three cel composite (additional inking by Pete Moriarty) while the one below is the basic illustration which was later coloured in Photoshop and animated in Director.

Special thanks to the Bert Bosman collection.

Ribbon of Souls Tattoo – update

I‘ve been spending a lot of time in the cafes of Prague, penciling and inking the Ribbon of Souls tattoo design for friend and client, Chris Lefler.

The pic features about 2/3rds of the eventual design and will be coloured once the inkwork has been completed in a couple of weeks.

Kelly Brook update


CLICK TO ENLARGE

Almost on the final leg(?) of the illustration of Kelly Brook which I started vector-tracing over a week ago in my spare time.

I’ve learned a lot by using the gradient mesh and transform mesh tools and my anchor point tweaking has improved tremendously.


Its been an experience working this way as my normal output seldom includes so much gradient work but its handy to know if something of this type crops up again.

Keep watching for the final illustration. Feel free to make suggestions for the background (keep it simple).

EDEN01 – 1st Creation Poster

The first graphic I did for the Creation Project, whose philosophy of graphic architecture matches my own. Their idea is to include art at the planning stage, thereby eradicating the urban scribble of graffiti whilst retaining its graphic texture.
