Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Last year I did the poster for a local thatre company's Panto, Mother Goose. This year they are doing 'Snow white and the Seven Dwarfs' which has proven a bit more of a challenge.

The challenge for a MASSIVE Disney fan like myself is to do a poster which in no way resembles the grained in image of Disney's Snow White'.

After a few redraws and costume & hair changes I am pleased with the result. The Disney influence is still there, especially in the witch, but I'll never get away with 27 years of watching Disney without picking up some tips. Hardly a bad thing :-)

A Very Potter Musical

I was recently introduced to 'A Very Potter Musical' on Youtube by my friend Emily and I have to say It's brilliant. If you like musicals it's well worth a watch. Well done to the guys at 'StarKid'!!

To thank Emily for passing me the link I did her this very quick sketch of Draco Malfoy from the show.

Now I just have to wait for the sequel!!

Junior Whites website launched!

The new Junior Whites website which I did some player and mascot illustrations for a while back has been launched today.

I've had a quick look at it and I have to say the designers at BWFC have done a lovely job on the games, especially the Kevin Davies Keepy Up one, it made me giggle!

The images look great, especially my favourite Lofty pic. All in all a top job, well done wanderers!

The Deadwood Stage!!!!!

This is one of those times where I had no intentions of drawing anything specific, I was just doodling whilst waiting for Photoshop to open numerous large files. I just happened to have Calamity Jane, another of my favourite musicals on my ipod and ended up sketching this rather attractive version of Calamity.

There's something about sketches that I find more interesting than finished images, in sketches you can see the construction of the image and how the illustrator refined the picture.

Anyway enough rambling, back to work for me :-)
