Hi All,
Just finished converting this one from PSP to Xara – what a difference.

Like the cat Steve. It would make a very good sticker.

Looks very American to me. Is it for an American client?

Steve,
Very artsy. I love cartoon characters, but can't draw them. Just don't have the imagination. This looks downright professional.

Thanks. I would love to do more cartoons and characters but I find them very difficult – takes me a lot of effort to end up with something I’m happy with.

Just messing around. The old US leather helmets have a lot of character.

Well Steve,
If I had drawn that, I would be elated!

Two more from me. These are both destined to be in the same "series" as the Ginkgo leaf; the Botanical Collection if you like!

Simon,
I think you are onto something with your minimalist style. Your last two images are very effective, and squeeky clean. (I also really liked the spider logo you posted earlier (very, very clever!)
You images with flat colours lend themselves really well for silk-screening. And the way they are constructed (with limited colours) also makes them quite cheap to print.
You should try a couple of cool t-shirt designs!
Bravo!

Yes, I feel that what I've done is to straighten up Nature slightly without actually changing Her shape too much.Somebody once told me that Nature has impeccably good taste; that natural colours NEVER clash with one another. And by and large, I think it's true.
As far as screen-printing is concerned, it's amusing that you should mention it, since that was the first medium that I found (at the age of 14) which allowed me to get something approaching the blocks of flat colour that characterise my work. Who knows, maybe one day I'll return to it...
How would I get T-shirts printed (apart from CafePress which is much too expensive)?
