If you haven't done so by now you should be buying the latest issue of .net
And yes, that is a nurse holding a rather large syringe!
Other than that it's a damn fine issue featuring image work by Chris Stocker (who manipulated the cover photo), Rob Brearley, Redseal, and Jon Jackson.

For all you Countdown fanatics that find the numbers game impossible... Countdown Numbers Game Solver. And no sign of Richard Stilgoe.

Here is the site of a group of local South West (England) Illustrators. Having had a swift gander at what they produce, it looks mainly to be in traditional media (ie not digital). Which makes a refreshing change.

John Peel explains his love of (some) cover versions. Amy Studt's latest effort (All I wanna do) is an example of an artist releasing a carbon copy of the original - totally pointless.

Usually popstars find themselves in the dock when in court - hotel room wrecking being mainly the reason. However Gloria Estefan recently spent a short time as part of a jury. Rumours that she was kicked out for breaking into a rendition of "Bad Boy" are totally unfounded.

I really like Sharon Delpeache's striking images - simple, yet effective. Also Preshaa is exhibiting his funky stuff.

10 ads America won't see. Obviously the Cog Honda ad is far too complex for them. Its a shame they won't see Peter Kay though!
Cap doffed to Pixelsurgeon for the link.

Looks like Cav has been busy with his sites - The Forge being just one of them. All fans of Doctor Who should check it out. Plus he's scripting a new Judge Dredd Audioplay for release later this year.

You'll be glad to hear that my Bloodhound illo is complete. Once I've had approval from the powers that be I will post a thumbnail for your viewing pleasure. In the meantime, if you're hungry for visual stimulus, take a look at Glyn Brewerton Illustrator's Portfolio. Chock full of great artwork.

Here are some icons I recently did for PC Answers magazine (these are just the b/w versions).
If you ever need icons or artwork remember to drop me a line...

Today I will mainly be doing an illustration of a Bloodhound. That's nice.

Here are two illos I did a couple of months back but haven't got around to uploading until now. They are both for an accounting magazine (hence the austere feel to them).
Both images were drawn in Adobe Illustrator. The first is about how to stand out in the (business) crowd and the second one is illustrating a page of questions and answers.
I've been doing quite a lot of images recently for work (.net mag). When I get chance I'll upload those too.

So, here I am working on a Sunday trying to finish off the cover feature for the latest edition of .net. Trouble is, all I can think of is how crap and unprofessional Liverpool played today against underdogs Yeovil Town. I fear Houllier has had his day (although I hate to say it), the team just looked like it had no invention or incentive to win. Poor.

Right then, lets get the "Happy New Year" greeting out of the way...
Happy New Year!
I have absolutely no resolutions to fulfill - not that I'm perfect or anything. Its just that if you have something you need to do to make yourself better, you shouldn't have to wait for 1 January to achieve it.
