One of many covers I did for Canta, the weekly University of Canterbury newspaper (1979) - might have been the first time I used Letratone in a paid illustration #funwithletratone #letratone (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPiFEH5hSr3/?utm_medium=tumblr
Super-quick brush & ink wash rendering from life of Ruffino bottle (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPS3oDCh7az/?utm_medium=tumblr
Shamelessly ripping off Alice Cooper’s ‘Welcome to My Nightmare’, this Polytech 20s end piece illustration features a dapper chap who, while horribly disfigured, is at least chipper (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPQSPPMhQLt/?utm_medium=tumblr
OK, they don’t look very sketchy now but there was a lot of sketching done to get to this stage - a set of outdoor activity pictograms done at Polytech (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPNlcBFBQmF/?utm_medium=tumblr
A Polytech assignment: overlap 3 drawings of your own hand in different media - pen & coloured pencil - I remember getting a disappointing mark... (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJ5mwIh2sB/?utm_medium=tumblr
A Pantone scamp for a poster promoting a live-action performance of A A Milne’s famous ursine character (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPG_pS_BpnN/?utm_medium=tumblr
So, my Mum ‘vets’ my life-drawing collection - “I just picked the ones I thought you’d want” - so, from dozens, possibly hundreds, of mostly female, mostly from the front, and mostly pretty bloody good, if I say so myself - I’m left one torn, from behind, male representation, that I’m not especially proud of - oh well... #lifedrawing #censorship #charcoaldrawing #mumsehwhataretheylike (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPDG1NRh9xm/?utm_medium=tumblr
Again with the self portraits - this an exercise in progressive shading (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPAQ7w0h0Ls/?utm_medium=tumblr
If you look way into This Very Account you’ll see the preliminary sketch for what this is final of (whatever it was for?) looking back, the sketch was better - more energy & spontaneity - I was too hung up on technique in this version... (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO5KyTTBta-/?igshid=16td30hgk20wy
Self-portrait, aged about 20... (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO2Kz01BRwE/?igshid=qqezysnjtzh4
Another (bit silly) concept sketch for the end of year student exhibition - I did come up with the winning poster design btw - this wasn’t it... #sketchbook #sketchbookdrawing #freehand #posterdesign #conceptsketch (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/COz9ah-BDzm/?igshid=h4ofp2u8knuu
Concept sketch for poster promoting end of year CHCH Polytech student exhibition - look at that freehand scamping - so confident... (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/COxCWNoBkbo/?igshid=24xbyuf45f6q
This was a cutaway/reveal exercise for Polytech - I chose to show how the bones in my feet were being squashed out of shape by my battered old Adidas runners - was pretty pleased how it turned out - no photographic reference, all drawn from life in pencil & watercolour (except the foot bones, of course - used reference and moved to fit actual alignment of my foot) (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/COuyWuIBPgG/?igshid=eina00oqb339
Was pulling (another) all-nighter on (another) late assignment for Polytech when I remembered I also had to do a pencil still-life for the next morning - what to draw? So, I sat on my bed and sketched my battered old work chair... (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/COrQ9uwhhH8/?igshid=cjpdvcxp812j
Logo for a hairdresser - cool name... (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/COpUChnBwdm/?igshid=hw098qw350ko
For some reason I thought it necessary to make this convoluted connection between 3 views of the same sheep skull (at Bishopdale, Christchurch) https://www.instagram.com/p/COnHVUJhhiS/?igshid=1uyy7t3bzb0i9
A Polytech (now ARA, apparently) illustration assignment - I obsessed on details - drew my own knees in the mirror - but had a lot to learn about composition (still do) - I mean, where are you even supposed to look?
