lil’ li-boons… (boundaries)

Some boundaries should be respected….

Still… aren’t they cute :)

Remedy this!

A while back we, my good pal and co-loon Maloney and I, created a spin off cartoon strip from our Opera Savannah greeting cards...
It dealt with the day-to-day rituals of a quirky meerkat family and some other beasties from the neighbouring veld.

Meet Albert. That reclusive uncle, the ever vigilant scientist, always ravenous for knowledge; you know the one, every family has one of those!

sweaty baboon

Here's another little peek at a project I mentioned a while back...

My good friend and writer Ian Malone wrote a children's book script that I've been illustrating when the time-gobblins are willing.

For the style I wanted to try something really new and fresh, I stuck to my watercolours but threw away the tight outlines I usually use. I then use a digital 'cut-out' method to create the shapes and add a little shading for depth.

I'll keep you posted as I progress :)

The Foolery

So as I was saying... Malone and I have started up The Foolery where we stew up comics and other vehicles of entertainment.

Here are a couple of sketches from our most recent endeavour: a children's book!

This is an exciting new style for me, I try to experiment as much as I can and sometimes it plops out and sometimes, like here, it doesn't.

Pages are trickling in, I hope to finish all the illustrations before this year's done. I better get cracking...

foolishness

It was about 2 years ago that my good friend Ian Malone and I decided to become professional fools, so we did what any fool would,we started a company "the Foolery"

We started with these:Opera Savannah is a collection of cartoon gags initially released as greeting cards... and will eventually be collected as a book, I scheme...
