License to Kill

Finally, I finished the Bond illustration. I'm trying to go back to muting my colours a bit more. I also played with the half-tones for a more delicate effect, rather than just a round highlight area, which I also think has been too punchy in my work lately.

Sneak Peek

I broke my rule last week and didn't post. The reason is because I didn't have anything to post. I've been trying to get this piece done, and things keep coming up to push it off, so I'm still not done.

However, this week, rather than post nothing, I'm just going to post a piece of the work-in-progess. I'm going to have it done before next Thursday. There! I've said it on the Internet, so it has to be true!

Hammer Time

Last week, I did my first job for Time Magazine, a b/w spot of a warthog for a mock progress report. A quick, fun little job. The piece will run between 1" and 2" square as part of the report logo.

These were the roughs I did: ... and this was the one the art director picked, which I re-drew in ink. They actually were prepared to print the sketch, but I did the inked version as well:That's all for now ... good times :) -J
