A little late this month.
Hopefully you were all looking to see when the scribble for this month will be posted?
Then I'm sure you'll be dying to get going!

LOL - very good - thanks all :-)
As you all no doubt realised the design was 'borrowed' from an early style Penguin paperback from the days before they used imagery on their covers.
I expect only hd will get the alternative idea (below). It relates to a piece of 1960's graffiti from the docks at Hull, a northern UK coastal city.

If I remember well, You are the guy who switched to Apple?
Are You done the illustration with Affinity Designer? Looks so for me.
I personally only use AD when working in AP for magazines and/or books, flyers, logos, etc.

saved form oblivion and on dispaly in humber street so I understand ;)
nice correlation jono
@Ernie, Nice graphics.
Yes it was done in Affinity Designer on a Mac. I switched over a few years ago, but my heart still belongs to Xara. I think it's a first love sort of thing! There are still quite a few techniques I only know how to do using P&GD.
@handrawn - nice find. I've just read the story behind its creation - a trawler captain nurtured an injured seagull back to health, only for it to be killed by the coxswain just before being released from the box it was kept in. When a crew member was asked, "what's inside the box?", he quickly said "a dead bod". I've seen it at the Humber Street gallery but didn't know the background story.
aye @ernie - sharp and to the point as usual
@jono - it is said he was drunk when he painted it - true or not there was an real kerfuffle when the sheds were due for demolition - it had become a fixture seen from boat on the estuary
not exactly a banksy, perhaps ahead of it's time :D
Probably had one too many Bodkas - Yes, there really is a local vodka called that!Quote:
