Flying Lotus illustration for BONAFIDE magazine

FLYING LOTUS for BONAFIDE

This is an illustration I did a few months ago for BONAFIDE magazine.
It's of the electronic musician Flying Lotus. It's drawn in graphite and ink and then I added most of the colours and manipulated the image a little bit in Photoshop. It's of course inspired by the famous illustration by Milton Glaser of Bob Dylan.
Hope you like it...

Another old drawing I found today, of the SAN VITALE church

another old drawing ...

I don't normally do architectural drawing, but was organising my computer today and came across this. It was for BBC Bristol in (I think) 2007. Old ting.

'THIGH HIGHS' - Really old drawing ... cerca 2007

THIGH HIGHS (really old drawing cerca 2007)

Organising all the files on my computer today (translation: procrastinating) and found this old drawing I'd forgotten about. I remember I hated it at the time and almost threw it away, but looking at it now I quite like it, so thought I'd share.

Hope you're having a super Wednesday. It's raining and grey here in Bristol, I hope it's not as miserable wherever you are...
