Patrick's Sketchbook Diary 44. The brother of invention.

Patrick's Sketchbook Diary 43. A portrait of Richard Neat.

My friend Rich visited me last week. He's completely changed his whole look, short hair, trim well-kept facial hair. He looks like the kind of guy who works in a phone shop.

Anyway, this is what he looked like the LAST time he visited me and hung out at my house for a bit. I sketched this after a few beers and a glass of scotch, but I still think it came out alright.

This was kinda the end of the night where things were winding down a bit. I think that's why there's a slightly melancholy look on his face.

You're such a tease...

Delicious bench, why must you hurt me this way?

Patrick's Sketchbook Diary 42. End of a long line of dolls.

This page has to do with a design I was working on, I didn't include the previous page because it has designs on it I intend to use in the future. But I think you can get the context fairly easily.

Patrick's Sketchbook Diary 41... Jealous Eyes Lasers

In the previous post I put up a portrait I did of my friend Dan. Shortly after I completed it I realised that we'd been sat in silence for a good 15-20 minutes as he read a comic and I drew him. Deep within me I could feel a jealous rage burning... I also wanted to read that comic, but I was too poor and handsome to afford one.

I concentrated all my rage into two small dotted lines which I fired at his head. He's never been the same since.

P.s. He was reading Avengers.

Patrick's Sketchbook Diary 40... Line Portrait of Dan Cronin

For this portrait I tried to draw entirely by eye. No measurements or guidelines. The results came out FAR better than expected!

Ummmm.... That's NOT Ice-T.

I regularly come across incredible examples of BAD graphic-design during the course of my day job. But this one takes it to a whole new level. The designer of this front cover exercised an unmatchable lack of knowledge about the product he was working on. (Either that or he was a sort of subversive racist.)

Just because he's a black guy, it does NOT mean he is Ice-T. I'm not disputing the fact that Ice-T might be in your film... but that guy... The guy on the cover under the name Ice-T.... ummmm That's NOT Ice-T.
