'E' for 'Elephant'


Wasn't sure I'd be able to find time to do today's sketch, but I snuck one in during the first half of the Sharks match (the last bit of time off I'm allowing myself this weekend) Today's sketch: 'E' for 'Elephant'

'D' for "Dodgeball"


Today's Daily Aphabet Sketch is 'D' for "Dodgeball". I have to say, it's been really busy the past few days and nearly forgot to make a sketch! Luckily I forced myself to quickly get one out and it came out quite nicely.

Cake or Death!


Daily Alphabet Sketch! Today is 'C' for "Cake or Death!" It's maybe a little dark, but it makes me chuckle. Enjoy!

Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica!


Good day everyone, time for my Daily Alphabet Sketch. For all "The Office" fans out there, this one is based on one of my favourite lines from the show. I'm sure it looks nothing like Battlestar Galactica but that's not the point anyway. Have a nice day and come back tomorrow for day "C"

Alphabet Sketches: A is for Astronaut


Good day everyone. Today starts a new endeavour of mine. It's going to be a daily sketch exercise, firstly to get me warmed up everyday, and possibly to keep a few people entertained. There are lots of people out there starting to do this now and it seemed like a pretty good idea.

I'm starting this out doing what I call Alphabet Sketches, so each day I draw something with a new letter. Today is A for Astronaut. Check in tomorrow to see what "B" is.

I am very pleased to show you my first published book EVER, for a book called My Ouma is a Rock-ster (My Grandma is a rock star), published by Lapa. My very own copy was delivered to me this weekend. It's about a boy whose grandmother is, as the title suggests, a rock star. He's not too keen on this as she's more focussed now on being famous and signing autographs than being a gran. Then she gets kidnapped and its up to the boy and his friend to save her.

I experienced a HUGE learning curve while illustrating this book. So many hours spent drawing (and even more re-drawing) and the amount of thought put into these was more than I had ever anticipated. But all in all I'm pretty proud of it. I've just finished my second book for Lapa (handed it in yesterday actually) and am starting my third. It's already so much easier and I learn more and more as I go along. Here are some of the illustrations from the book :)

Sketchy Business...



So here's a few more sketchbook pages, I'm hoping to have something cool to show everyone a little later in the week if time permits. Otherwise Happy Monday!
