Some random doodles over the past week.

Happy Birthday

Well, this weeks Illustration's theme was cake. It just so happens it's also my daughter Teleri's 7th birthday. She's cute as a button and will someday draw circles around me.
What more could a father ask for.

Happy Birthday Tillybud !!!

More playing with newsprint

A couple more

I seem to remember this mole from a Richard Scary book. Or perhaps it was the Provensen's.
Either way the influence is pretty clear.

Guy and Beastie

I recently bought a few pads of cheap newsprint for the kids and remembered how well it soaks up those black grease pencils.

Angels and Devils

Those who know me might reckognize this one but when Illustration Friday announced the topic this week as being Angels and Devils I thought..." Hey! Why re-invent the wheel."
Enjoy.

Happy Anniversary

Has it been 10 years already?
Though we've known each other much longer today is our 10th wedding anniversary.
Thank you for your love and support. Thank you for our beautiful children. Thank you for putting up with me. Here's to the future...

Happy Anniversary my sweet...


Love Jeff

Sesame type illustration

For some reason when this weeks Illustration Friday topic was revealed to be "Under the Sea" I just couldn't get past this image in my head.
I know it's corny but I guess when you grow up with Seame Street these things are bound to happen.

I'm back

Well it's certainly been a while since my last post. Been doing a little freelance job on the side which has occupied pretty much all of my free time. Anyways things will be settling down soon and hopefully back to normal.

In the mean time, here's one for this weeks Illustration Friday.

Robot

My Kid Monday

One my daughter Teleri calls portrait. Of whom I'm uncertain.

Speed illustration

Unfortunately I was too busy to get this in for last weeks Illustration Friday.

Ironic since the topic was Speed.

Spring sketch

Wednesday Sketches

Wow! Two posts in a row. I must be on a roll. Enjoy.

Tuesday sketches

Illustration friday

Animation history

No new drawings to post so I thought I'd shift gears. First off I'm currently reading Shamus Culhane's autobiography entitled "Talking animals and other people". A fascinating first hand account of the very begining of the animation industry and his life working in it and the people he's worked with. Most copies are out of print now but you can hopefully find a copy in your local library like I did.
Another good book along these lines is "The Moose that roared". A great book as well mainly focusing on Jay Ward and Rocky and Bullwinkle. After reading that book one is left with that old saying "Some things never change".

Finaly I should point out that I have jumped on yet another bandwagon and have opened an online store through Cafe Press. Feel free to browse and shop. If there's enogh interest I will probably move it to a paying account where I'll be able to sell even more types of things. We'll see.
The link for the store in on the right with the original title "Subconscious Ink. Store".

Please come again.
