Illustration

Constantly, I find myself surrounded by images all of which gives such a different type of 'feeling'.
I wont go in to the science of how and why, I shall leave this to the professionals, but from time to time, such images inspires me to create a 'new' kind of illustration.

This is when the entire universe can become a sweet shop - my eyes don't quite know where to focus, and sadly sometimes, neither do my mind.

I am born illustrator, there was never a question, but I cannot tell you that I have one style in particular, although can tell you what makes me excited, what inspires me. From here some have made comments, thus assuring me these are pictures/illustrations worth pursuing.

Recently for example, I have noticed how much I liked it when simple cut-out shapes made me feel like a child staring at my 'older' work. That craftiness and simplicity and almost organic feel what makes me think of 'warmth'.

This is why I came up with the image below.



These images would normally start from my sketch books and some will find they're way to actually being interpreted either digitally (thanks to Adobe & my loyal Apple Mac) or through traditional methods (really liking a lot of inks right now).
