Here’s another photo from the same session as my first post. I was mucking around editing it and I reckon it turned out pretty good. I’m just posting it to try to get into the habit of posting something regularly.

I really need to start getting busy with the camera again. The originals for these ones are pretty ropey and could do with some practice using my dodgy flashgun kit.

Thank god for Photoshop!

I opened my sketchbook for the first time in weeks recently and hope to get some interesting stuff up soon.

Some of us are just lucky…

Some of us get to work with Tony Ferreira.  Some of us get a call to shoot the pics for the launch of his new fragrance ‘FLY’. 

Whenever I work with Tony Ferreira, I’m in awe of the astonishing level of professionalism and commitment he brings to every shoot.

    

When I asked him, “Why have you called your new musk ’FLY’ ?”
He said, “Because I can.  I can fly.”

Behold.

I later asked him if he possessed any other superhuman traits.  He nodded his head slowly and walked over to a nearby metal railing.  He stared at the railing for 45 minutes and just as I was wondering if he had forgotten the question, this happened.

Expect to see the advert this July in all major fashion publications.

Cheers

Arron.



Disaster Strikes 24

Recently, I noticed a little bit of bad Photoshopping in the 20th Century Fox logo at the end of some episodes of 24. Being a daily photoshop user the ‘clone tool’ abuse was pretty obvious. Now, to point it out may seem a little anal but when you consider the amazing amount of money behind the company involved, it’s crazy that stuff like this can happen.

Anyways, It got me a post on a cool website that makes a point of highlighting such goofs.

Have a look around if you’re even remotely interested in Photoshop. There are some brilliant examples of bad Photoshop on the site.

Here’s a sketch of a female character I have long put off drawing. She’s from a story idea I’ve had for a long time and every time I try to draw her I end up disappointed. I like this drawing but its not right for the character. I’m posting it because its an ice breaker, its got me thinking again.

I’m gonna get stuck into this story again and post some artwork as I go.

My friend gave me a wacom tablet a few months ago.  He won a sexy new one and was kind enough to give his old one to me.  I have yet to use it, the ungrateful shit that I am!

So I persist in doodling with a mouse.  Here’s the product of the ‘mouse+photoshop’ technique.  He will now greet visitors to this blog.

Must. Use. Tablet.

This little guy was a present for my birthday. Claire put this little guy together and I dare say Jake may have had a hand in it but I cant be sure. He has been keeping an eye on things in the kitchen since then. Unfortunately, he smells now. His time has come and we must be strong.

So long fella, the kitchen will never be the same without you !

It will smell nicer.

This one is so old its done with real paint on real paper ! Talk about low-tech.

This was one of my folio art pieces from high school. Had the internet been invented in 2001 ?

:D
