Mr Leafy concept idea

This is an idea for a canvas digital print that I'm working towards. I've already done monkey-man as a digital print which is cool. It's nice to have something that is tangible to see and touch. 
I'm also gonna add a little message with Mr Leafy.
Will post up when he's ready to go digital canvas.

whole lotta monkey business

These are some images that I've been noodling away at over the last month. The coloured versions are images I did last year and came across them only recently and thought I'd post them as well.
I've felt a bit guilty about not posting more images so I'll post a few more soon.
Peace

Bear deck: Skateboard design

Started off by doing the little bear character. Inked up in illustrator. Tried to focus on giving the line some variation. 

Felt like I needed to put the character into some type of context so hence the skateboard design.

Really enjoyed doing this.

Fonts used - biliz blur & Detective Inc

Used illustrator for inking bear, font placement and skateboard design; P/shop for colouring

Thank you card for some friends

Just a fun little project lately for some friends at church. Both my wife and myself created a card each.

Fun thing I learn't was creating the shooting stars, thanks to a cool tutorial online. Check out here Shooting Star.

Have a good one

Background and colour up

Used illustrator to do the background and get perspective. Also blocked in colours and hoping to create a bit more atmosphere with some more depth especially in the background.

I've so enjoyed trying to incorporate more texture through patterns into this piece.

Total time taken....on going in between life and work.

Hope to finish this soon.

Bless...JC:)

Concept ink drawing

Just had to get something up on me blog. Will develop the background next...any ideas?? Finding backgrounds a challenge.
Used micron-pens .5 and 1.0 for outside.

Going banana's

I have a thing for monkey's.... I know, kinda weird aye.  So I've been kinda going a little banana's lately and started to draw around this concept - one thing lead to another and voila' you have the above image.
Everyone is going banana's and yes I've been watching a little too much tv lately, especially the news which makes you go banana's.
I do like banana's though, especially on toast with butter....yum.
