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……

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……

Some time back Thecartoonist.net was called on to provide a map for the guests at Taitapu’s luxury Hotel, Otahuna Lodge.
I haven’t looked lately, but this place was popping up on lists for the elite all over the world. If I recall it won top awards in one of those tasty……

Izzit Brain Freeze?
An attack from hostile cosmic communist agents?

That sort of thing’s a job for a painter rather than……

NZ’s Black billed – most endangered Gull in the World
You’ve probably seen this wee bloke but mistaken him for his more common cousin, the Red Billed… who shared many of your school lunches over the years.

The Black Teal- Daffy’s special forces cousin from Kiwiland
Known to hang around in the same military bars as the outspoken Aussie Coot, the New Zealand Scaup is a diving specialist.
Not often seen in an aqualung, he prefers to dive unassisted to show off his true specialty.
Amongst locals he comes under a variety of aliases. Some know him as papango, also……

I use him because he delivers excellent work, on time and to the brief. I have no hesitation in recommending Brendon.”
“Brendon is fabulously creative and easy to work with, his illustrations brought the characters of my children's storybook to life. My youngest (now three) asks for Ovkors the horse every night.”
"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."
