Welcome to Sketch Week.
This week we have
Monday- Well sunday night really. The US womens soccer team comes second in the world cup to Japan.
Tuesday- Murdoch gets a pie in the face during the hearing into his involvement with NOTW scandal. Pie thrower gets promptly arrested.
Wednesday- The whole debt ceiling debarcle carries on. Harry Reid makes a play for some attention.
Thursday- Analsela Martinez is cleared of drug traffic charges after she is found to have her car unwittingly loaded up with drugs while crossing the US/Mex. border daily.
Friday- Bombs go off around Oslo, including parliament. No idea who is responsible yet, officials try to get people out of the wreckage.

This week was dominated by the news of the US debt ceiling and general mucking up of the economy. As well as the Murdoch, News of the World scandal.
Monday we have Obama trying to get a deal done to increase the debt ceiling. I don't truly understand all the logistics of this but it does sound like a bunch of three yr olds arguing.
Tuesday is Murdoch shutting down News of the World. (Hoorah!) Cause it pretty much can't bounce back.
Wednesday is Murdoch himself backing out of the B Sky B deal because of NOTW. Bet he is real happy about that.
Thursday is the arrest of Mr. Levi after the brutal murder and dismembering of a child in NYC.
And Friday Mark Dayton the Minnesota head honcho who agreed on a deal so the government can get out of it's shut down mode. Still getting used to this US idea of shutting down the government. Seems completely bonkers to me. Seriously, if you can't even keep the government open you really shouldn't be running the show.

Welcome to Weeknote 139.
So this week as a continuation of last where I have been creating images of personalities in my style. I have been working on this image of Helena Bonhem Carter. It's not finished yet, and as you can see I have made a right mess of my work space, but I am very happy with how it is turning out.
Only problem is it's A3 size. Fun times with scanner ahead. Hoping to get it finished on Monday and then scanned on Tuesday so I will post it then.
Today I went to the Renegade Craft Fair in SF. Loads of great sellers and loads of people.... bought pressies for the rellies and had lots of admirer's of my new spats my lovely monkey made for me.
Until next week....

Welcome to this week's Sketch Week.
July 5th was the story of the News of the World paper in the UK accused of tapping and interfering with phones and messages during investigations- the murder of 13 yr. old Molly Dower being one of them. Can't say I am really surprised, although it is still very gross. 
July 6th was the end of the Casey Anthony murder trial, where she got off on what appears to be a lack of evidence.
July 7th was the annual running of the bulls in Pamplona. Only nut jobs need apply.
And July 8th was the news that Murdoch shut down News of the World (Hoorah!) and the CEO's including Rebekah Brookes have been arrested. (Double Hoorah!)

Happy 4th July everyone.

Here are some of my latest character studies I have been developing which I am really happy with. Can you guess who they are?

As I explained in the previous post I have been super busy with work and haven't had the time to be updating e Fuzz as I would have liked. But I have been continuing with my morning drawings... So I guess this will just be a test on how much you remembered from this month : )
And of course the summer solstice passed, which means it is half way through the year. My sketch book is looking quite fat. Can't wait to see it at the end of the year..

Well, yes it has been a while...
I got completely bogged down with work for a few weeks there and have barely touched base with the e Fuzz.
So what have I been up to? I was sent a number of rush jobs... one was three report covers for the Australian Human Rights Commission, another was my regular job at Selector magazine (below) and yet another was to illustrate a book which is being sent to the UN Children's Commission. That project isn't finished yet but will be wrapping up soon. I also made a tote bag for a gift for someone, using my illustrations. Silly Fuzz forgot to take a photo of it so will have to make another.
I am super happy with the result of the Selector article piece. I tried something a little different. Instead of drawing the image and cutting out from that, I got a huge pile of scrap paper and just started cutting until I got the shapes I desired. I think the result gives some really unique shapes that frees me from the drawing side of things. Going to have more of a play this week in this style and see what I come up with..... as well has continue to improve my website.
Time to breathe again....

Welcome to weeknote 137.
For some reason June has become a crazy month. I have heaps of work on and deadlines all over the place so I will be working long hours.
Still, better than not having work....
This week, amongst others, I am doing an illustration for Selector magazine I am hoping to have some serious fin with.
I'm also thinking about changing this blog over to Tumblr. I haven't used it before but looks more professional than the old blog and would probably suit my needs more
Hmmm thinking about it more...
