Well, todays commission was to draw a selection of coffee items in a retro’ish’, stylised form. I was sent samples of the sort of thing that the client was after so this isn’t necessarily what I would have done without being shown the samples. I wonder how different my work would have been without the ...
Whatever happened to less is more you may be wondering… and so am I! Actually this is a concept pic really, rough ideas. I have to draw some very vintage inspired children’s illustrations which need to look like a very particular 50′s/60′s children’s book style. Lots of creatures and animals will be drawn over ...
This little border was drawn a couple of weeks ago for my client but I’ve been having a lot of technology trouble lately – despite having 2 computers and 3 laptops, I still often have to go into battle with hardware, software and internet speeds! My fault, I’d been getting ‘your battery needs replacing’ warning ...
I was asked to draw a side show muscle man so here he is, I did a couple of other versions of him with different backgrounds. I wanted to put an audience into the background, or a small crowd, perhaps with a little kiddy impersonating the strong man, but deadline time (and money) didn’t allow it ...
Drawing in different styles – now there’s a controversial subject. The fact is that most of us illustrators can, especially if we’ve been drawing for a long time because it means that if we are experimentally minded, we’ll have had more time under our belts to faff around with things and we’ve seen a lot ...
One of a series of book covers for Publerati publishing (I designed their branding for them too). I worked as a picture editor and designer for them, finding and clearing the copyright of various images and then working on them in Photoshop (photo montage) to get them to work as covers with the branding.

Hurray! Richard Hardie’s book has been launched by his publishers (Publerati) on Amazon. You can see it in it’s final incarnation here below. I drew two covers for it in the end! You may not know that (unless you are self publishing) – publishers generally prefer it if authors ‘DON’T’ commission artwork themselves for their ...
