Here we go again!

Wow! How has it been so long since I last updated the blog? Well to anyone reading this, hope you had a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Halloween, Happy Easter and any other holidays that I’ve missed since my last post.

Since the last post, I am still unable to share all the logo work Campbell Animation did at the start of 2023. For at least one of these projects it appears I may never be sharing it as the company has potentially changed their plans for the future.

Other than that, I have returned to creating artwork for print. Below is a recent digital drawing, created using GIMP, and then printed on A3 300 gsm card.

It all started with one drawing of a father & his daughter looking at Celtic Park, a Fathers Day gift. This was subsequently printed and mounted in a beautiful white frame as you can see below.

Additionally, I printed designs of the stadium on its own and by request I added the Peaky Blinders from the hit TV show, complete with their Celtic FC scarves.

I also created more poster artwork for The Hashtag Show, specifically for the Christmas special 2023 at Classic Grand, which I’ve included below. The show was cancelled due to illness as one of the hosts, Mallorca Lee, has been battling cancer. This was a massive shock, not just for me but for his thousands supporters, be it from his popular 1994 shows, his time with groups Ultra-Sonic/Public Domain, The Hashtag Show and his “Safe Trips” artwork.

 

Coming up, I have several more projects in production, involving printed artwork, which will be going to the printers very soon. Beyond this, I have a few more that will be getting underway in the coming months and so I’m pretty busy until around June at least.

My hope for afterwards is that I’ll return to animation since I haven’t created anything in this medium since December 2022.

Updates to follow.
