WW2 Poker

This artwork was commissioned by Pokerstar.com to run as a competition on some of their sister sites, one being www.pokerstation.co.uk. I think the idea was to encourage visitors to add their own captions. Anyway I absolutely loved creating this scene.  I would have been happy to caricature any one of these characters let alone all of them together playing poker, a caricaturists dream!!

Another fun project, I created  this cartoon illustration  for  a Cd cover commissioned by De Wolfe Music. I believe the Cd consists of musical fun sound bites used mainly in  TV and commercial radio advertisement production . The brief was to create a young lively bunch of musicians playing all the instruments sampled on the Cd having a blast.

Mr Moonshine

This was a fun job to do, a website header commissioned by an online drinks delivery company. Nice change from caricaturing to actually do some character designs. Quite a challenge though to incorporate the two very different lifestyles and landscapes in one picture. From the moonshine hillbillies in the mountains to the Al Capone style gangsters in the city plus the company name had to be introduced into the scene as well. Not the easiest artwork to create but loved the process of  dreaming this one up.
 Here's the image in sections so you can see it in more detail.

British army tank squadron

I haven’t had time to produce any more political cartoons as I’ve been busy on other projects such as this large group cartoon commissioned by a British army tank squadron currently serving in Afghanistan. I’ve had a few commissions like this one and wouldn’t mind a few more as I really enjoy creating them. It’s a lot of work however very rewarding as the end result is usually well appreciated by the lads in the squadron
