Louis Theroux

Cannot get enough of this guy's documentaries.

His new BBC series By Reason of Insanity is fascinating!

I Have To Draw You....

I went to Japan!

And I saw sumo wrestling! It was pretty awesome. Thank goodness I have my sketchbook!

Millington Associates Nike Models

To continue from my last post about the Nike commercial, The Last Game, I found out last week that the Nike store on Oxford Circus has larger than life models of the characters I designed for the commercial instore! 

The company that are responsible for the wonderful work are Millington Associates and you can view the work they did for Nike on their website along with all the other great projects theyve done. 

I've pinched a couple of their photos to show you here :P

And some shoddy photos I took myself like a nerd...

And it also made the Metro!!! 

Nike - The Last Game

Pretty exciting! At the end of last year, I got to work on the character designs for the new Nike commercial that's just been released and I've been given the OK to share the designs with you lovely people! 

You might recognise some of the characters here but there's also some other designs and characters that didn't make it into the final film.

It was a lot of fun to work on, as it's not my usual style. Tough work drawing muscly men all day but I guess someone's gotta do it *sigh*

Enjoy!

 

"Hello." the fox said.

True Story

I saw this guy on a holiday in Budapest. We were in a local Hungarian etterem and this dude was supplying the entertainment. He may have been the fattest man I have ever seen with my own eyeballs but damn he could play that gee-tar.

El Dorado!

What's your New Year's Resolution?

Aside from the good old exercise, eat less crap and be a better person, what new year's resolutions have you set for yourself? 

It's probably pretty obvious from this post that one of mine was to go back to life drawing at least every other week. So on the first Monday of the new year, there I was in my old life drawing class! It was great. It's kind of like when you go to the gym after months on sitting on your ass doing nothing. It was a struggle to go after work but you feel better for doing it afterwards. 

If you saw my previous blog post, you'll know that I started a new job and although it's great I won't be designing characters very much so another promise I've made to myself for the new year is to keep up the personal projects which I've also linked with ANOTHER resolution to read at least a book a month. 

So watch this space for some literary inspired character designs! Hopefully...
