Beaver

24 Mar 2007 > 2 Comments

I’m currently working on a project based on native American art. I have been searching for images on the net for inspiration, and spending time familiarizing myself with the various patterns and motifs that have caught my interest. ‘Beaver’ is an example of some initial experiments in this direction.

colourful characters

Back in the UK we don’t have fire hydrants, but here in Brooks Alberta, there are hundreds of decorated fire hydrants, painted by kids.

Yesterday Shanny and myself took a walk to the superstore, taking pictures of all the fire hydrants we found along the way. When the weather warms up a bit, we intend to venture into residential areas and take some more pics (I’m guessing there must be loads more hidden away).

Hope you enjoy them. My favourite has to be R2D2

New Logo

20 Apr 2007 > 3 Comments

I haven’t been a very active blogger lately, for various reasons, so I thought I’d show off the revamped version of the “Kid” logo for my next redesign.

I’m not that wise in the ways of the Pen Tool (PSP), and it took me a few hours getting it right, learning a few things along the way too (which is a bonus), mostly using the Bezier Curves tool.

Kid originally started out as a comic character I created a few years ago, called “The Mundane and Amazing Adventures of Kid”

Phoenix Rising

28 Oct 2006 > 0 Comments

I Was messing around with all the effects in Paint Shop Pro a few months ago, and eventually started to get something to work, combining the Texture Effect ‘Weave’ and the Distortion Effect ‘Wave’.

To me it looks just like a Phoenix Rising up from an egg. The text comes from Herodotus’s description of a phoenix. Although he had not actually seen one, he recounted the story of how the Phoenix in Arabia would wrap up it’s dead parent in a egg-shaped ball of myrrh and fly to the City of the Sun in Eygpt and place it on the temple altar. Presumably for it to be reborn.
