Restaurant magazine - Oct 2010

A piece I've just done for regular client Restaurant magazine about Mitchells & Butlers (M&B) - a brewery giant now making a big name for themselves in mass-market eating-out in the UK.

Very happy with this - the characters, the linework, the scale and the unsual ( for me) and limited colour palette.

The posterior in question comes from a book I have of male nudes from the 1970s.

Bilbo Baggins

A quick sketch of Mr Bilbo Baggins the Hobbit

Chanticleer

The old name for a cockerel in fable, in much the same way as Reynard is the fox. Mentioned in Chaucer and coming from the french for 'Clear Voice' - something I only realized the other day when drinking a bottle of red wine emblazoned with a proud gallic coq and called 'Chante-clair'.

Jitterbug Perfume - Perfém blaznivého tance

A mocked-up cover for the book I'm reading at the moment.
You know that way you find a great read but the cover lets it down - simple solution, create your own!

2 motifs from the story - a Beet(root) and the glass bottle etched with an image of the great god Pan and containing the Elixir Vitae.
