Heineken! F$*# that shit. PABST! BLUE RIBBON!

I just spent a week re-doing the same panel more times than I'd care to admit. sheesh.

His early stuff's the best.

You know it.

Stipple Head

My first attempt at stipple rendering (this is a technique where you add form by tapping lots of dots in with a fine nib) and it's not great, but even with a small sketch like this I felt like I had to put in as many dots as there are stars in the milky way. A bit of a pain in the arse. Instead of dots you could also render the lighter and darker areas with lots of small lines. To view a more subtle and dextrous demonstration of this technique go HERE

L & H

Salvo is already 7 or 8 pages into a new comic. I might post some samples soon. I might not. At least one part of the story will be located in a place like THIS.

Random scene

La Strada

These are some of the main characters from a 1954 Italian movie called La Strada. I copied them out of the free booklet that came with the dvd. At first, I was just going to do a simple sketch of Zampano doing his rubbish circus act but I ended up making it more of a poster type thing with the other characters too.

Cheers

Just a quick post to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to everyone who turned up for our launch on Friday night. It was a genuine pleasure to both catch up with some folks I hadn't seen in a while and to also meet some other folks for the first time. I hope it won't be too long before we can all meet up again... probably whenever and wherever the next strategic investment conference is being held.

LOVE
