Custom cartoons for a special person “who has everything”…

For the person whose significant other “has everything” … allow me to create an original birthday, anniversary or any other “special occasion” picture that you can either use as a card or use as a framed memento or gift. You receive the original as well as a nicely processed print-ready picture in color or B&W, or I can even have it framed for you! You can inbox me for details or pricing, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg, I promise! I have some of those already.
A few paper notes or an electronic transfer of your small change will be quite sufficient!

Below are recent examples of what I’ve created. You can obviously choose your own words, type of picture, the general content and even the font, provided I have it!

So please don’t delay, although stocks are UNlimited!

Kind regards

To catch the wind… or paint the wind?

Phrases such as “catch the wind”, “chase the sun”, “ride the wind”, “follow the sun” have been used liberally in movies, books and songs.

Who remembers “Catch the wind” as sung by 60s folk singer Donovan?

Quite often the concepts are cliches when used within a certain context, but what the heck, I love a good cliche!

When I saw the quote “paint the wind” my interest was piqued, a throwaway picture got a second lease of life, albeit in softer colors…

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my drawings.

quotes

Here’s an “oldie”, I was never quite happy with the hair, I made myself guilty of revamping the face a bit…

The miracle of the drawing tablet is evident! Post production blues eventually remedied… I think!

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

This was written by Maya Angelou

I have to agree. During the course of the pas few months I’ve been mulling around the concepts and stories behind a few characters I intend to use in a type of “webcomic”.

Today the last few pieces of the puzzle seemed to click into place. AT LONG LAST!!!!

I will start off with 5 characters. The main characters have been sketched from all angles and in a few interesting poses. I reckon “repeatability” is quite important. I’m quite pleased with the main female character, perhaps this is some of the best work I’ve ever done. The emphasis will be on fluid lines and expression.

Recently I was rewarded with another epiphany as well: If you don’t enjoy doing what you are doing there is absolutely no sense in continuing. The new stories from a “different time” won’t be released just yet, I’m still enjoying the process of filling them out a bit. Why rush?

In the meantime, here are two “recent-ish” sketches pertaining to musical quotes.

I hope you like them.

Thanks for visiting my blog

[I almost neglected to mention that the second pic's quote was suggested by Hope* . Please go and have a look at her blog as well!]

Cloud 9 coffee…

Do the better angels of your nature elude you before that first cup of coffee in the morning?

Today South Africans celebrated “Heritage Day”.

I started my day by reconnecting with the tradition of allowing hot water to drip over freshly ground beans and creating a sublime brew that lifted my mood almost instantaneously.

Theoretically tomorrow is “Monday” in light of today’s public holiday.

I hereby dedicate the drawing to all those who are starting their short(er) working week tomorrow…

Have a great week!

Quotable Quotes…

A few more graphical (and personal) interpretation of well-known quotes.

I have always admired the way some people just manage to “paint with words” …

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my version of “Quotable Quotes”.

All the drawings were sketched with a 0.5 HB mechanical pencil and inked with a 0.2 felt-tipped pen.

Sidey’s Theme: “Blue” …

The first picture wasn’t originally intended to be “blue”.

The words from the Fire Inc song (composed by Jim Steinman) “Tonight is what it means to be young” originally sparked the idea for the drawing

I’ve got a dream when the darkness is over
We’ll be lyin’ in the rays of the sun
But it’s only a dream and tonight is for real

But…Like most things in life it morphed into something different altogether…

I also include some more “quotable quotes” and I really hope you like them.
