Fashion Illustration - The New Book

There's a new Great Big Book of Fashion Illustration. I've been lucky enough to have some of my own work included. (You can see that here.) My pick of illustrators from the book, the one who's company I'm proudest to be in, is Robyn Nicole Neild. She has a great big range of styles that really impress me. You can see her portfolio here. Enjoy.

Makes Odd Hours

Pierre Dal Corso photographs the strangest angles. The models are puppets in his lens. It's remarkable.

New Drawings on Boundless

There are a few new drawings at Boundless Optimism, my drawing portfolio. They're not completely safe for work, but they're drawings... so it's art. Hope you like them.

Laura Laine And The Wandering Line

Laura Laine has a remarkable rhythm to her drawings. They seem to meander into elegant shapes. I find them highly entertaining and quite lovely. I'm quite jealous really.

I'm in awe of this film. It has a big heart.

Boundless Desktop Wallpaper 01

Here is a desktop wallpaper to put some analog texture on your digital surface. The model for this drawing really is 17 feet tall and was found lounging in the veldt of South Africa.

Fun With Colors!

I'm a bit of a drawing geek. I love to scratch away and make messes of people and places. And it's all become a bit more portably digital. The Nintendo DS is a fantastic little machine, made all the more fantastic by the fact that it comes with a pressure sensitive drawing screen. Usually this is used for games like Zelda where you can use the stylus to move and fight. Instead, I can now hang out in a bar and draw with a palette of thousands of colours. I'm using the HomeBrew solution CycloDSevolution and Colors! freeware. The setup costs about as much as a DS ($120 for a MicroSD card and the Cyclo) but once you have the thing hacked, the DS suddenly becomes incredibly useful beyond gaming. You can play the drawing process as a movie file and e-mail the images via the built in wifi (which strangely generates a bigger image than I pull off the DS itself!)

Colors! And check out the galleries of other users as well.

The bad drawings are of the Rattlesnake Choir.



I have a question: Why is it that when I take the PNG image file directly from the memory card its 128kb and small. But when I e-mail it to myself through the Colors! site, it becomes a 786kb file that's 200% bigger?
