Following on from my last post of… ohh, precisely four years ago… here’s something else we love to do at thecartoonist.net: commissioned fan art for your wall!
This particular poster may be of characters unfamiliar to you, but not for long: these glamourous rockers are the intergalactic popsters “the Tinkling Triangles” by British comic legend……
Hand inked Fan art, part 1
Web ads- always better by an artist
Fact: Hand crafted ads get a better response than banners using photo manipulation or vector artwork.
They’re more economic than a competent graphic designer too:

The Familiar Kiwi Villa
If you live in New Zealand you’ll know the Kiwi Villa is part of the landscape’s essence.
Anywhere else a villa is a sprawling home of the wealthy: In America a villa might have columns bunged all over the place and be three stories tall. In days of Rome it was the country mansion complete with……

Storyboarding – in full Technicolor

A few years back the EARTH moved under our feet and the roads in the city of Christchurch had to be redone all at once.
The Christchurch City Council, restorer of roads and footpaths, found themselves in the ultimate freakout: Numerous bituminous contractors metalling tarmac in greater count than pupae in a fly farm.

When is a Cheese like a potato?

Holidays- when one goes a hobbyin’ like a professional
See actual vid at the bottom of post…
Christmas.
and New Year,
here in the Southern Hemisphere:
Former sportsmen are a’sailing,
Geographica Fanatic are
a’travellin’
But the part time creator makes his mess.
On holiday,
life is at its best.
But the poet DIDN’T mention the case of the……

Testimonials
"Brendon has been doing illustrations and posters for my books and my work in schools for over 10 years now. His posters, charts and illustrations have really appealed to the children (and teachers) I work with. They love the bright colours and variety of interesting characters that he has created. The posters are eye catching and very clearly portray the information to be shared."
“Love your work and thanks for just being an out of sightly amazing artist!”

Opinion: English is the coolest language in the world. Why?
