first new post thingy

Hi and welcome to the new more listener friendly kinda blog. It's now all bout my personal work rather than my personal opinion. Well let's go for it.

I've wanted to create a caricature of myself for a while now and several pages of my sketch book have been taken up to create something that not only looked like me but modern too. (Not that I'm that old you realise).
























The development of this has taken a lot longer than I anticipated. Above are a couple of the sketches to show the development.

I also wanted something that could be easily changed to match my clothes, mood etc. Below is a selection of three of the finished illustrations. The one without any clothes on shall remain on my hard drive!









The next stage will be to create an actual 3D model of the figure but that will have to wait for a future edition.

nothing doing

well, great plans and all that. I set this blog up over a year ago and it's had about as many readers as listeners to Shetland FM. So I've decided to shift the focus of the blog (giving it up was never an option). Rather than a vitriolic rant from me I'm going to use it to showcase my scribbles, scratchings and general messings about with paper and a pencil. It's going to be an extention of my 'A day off doing nothing' newsletter that most people have found......well quite interesting or better than a poke in the eye with a stick anyway. So from now on let's say FOD to the posturing and say hello to what being a designer is all about.............fun. (I hope). Lots of love 'n' stuff. D.
