i'm not so sure about this one...


i'm not so sure about this one...

looks a little ghostly, i guess - but with an odd visceral, corporeal look to it ?

i did notice, when i was doodling away, that some of the shading pen-work is reminiscent of the famous dave gibbons' style. not sure why my hand felt the need to move in this way, something like 20 years after his drawing technique would've been at the forefront of my mind, i have no idea; unless it's the new movie, which i have yet to see?

anyway, there you have it !

a glass-domed hot-rod...


a glass-domed hot-rod, maybe ?
something like that, for sure.


can i get away with pretending that the poor quality blurry photo is an attempt to portray a level of motion, and indeed dynamism, that is inherent within the subject matter explored ?

...no ? okay, apologies for the dodgy photo, my scanner is on the blink. doesn't want to play nice with my new macbook.

little green men ..?


little green men ..?

now i don't think you could imagine that these guys are engaging their warp engines, and enduring various 'G's against their frail, alien forms; just so that they can reach the - doubtless fascinating - schedule of fiscal results hovering menacingly above them.

more likely that some poor office worker has had the overwhelming desire to take whatever piece of paper comes easiest to hand, and scribble away on it, in some vain attempt at creativity or free thought, within the oppressive environs of his 9 to 5 existence.

... but probably, actually, just because i found a nice pen in my bag, and thought i'd amuse myself during a 'phone conversation.
