"Table for 1..2.. party of 20.. EVERYONE!"

 Hola, Hello!

November last year I produced some promotional illustration work for Waters Restaurant to promote the variety of people and the friendly atmosphere at the Restaurant. 

Below is the final image. It's currently being used on their Facebook page and their website homepage and there was talk of using it as a picture in the restaurant itself and on menus.

 Hola hello,

I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year (for those who don't celebrate either - I hope you managed some much needed rest during the holidays as 2016 was a rough year).

So I had lots happening in 2016. Moving house a few times (once as my home was being sold and another to move in to a place together with my girlfriend), busy with lots of caricature bookings and commissions (some caricatures and some my illustration work).

2017 has started off a little slow as I finish a commission (hoping to upload images of this in the next update), catching up on emails and admin and I still need to organise my 2017 with some new and exciting ideas. ...then there's yet ANOTHER MOVE! This time to a mold and damp free home (we hope).

So to break the "radio silence" I thought I'd give you a little tease of what I'm planning for 2017:

Stay tuned and subscribe for more updates soon. Happy 2017!

TheArtyONE! does #Inktober 2016

 Hola Hello!

I hope you're all well.

It's that time of year again! Yes - Inktober is back!

Once again I'll be taking part in Inktober and you will see an inked drawing everyday from October 1st until October 31st. 

I'm sure our new kittens, Tarth and Pod, will
provide much inspiration for Inktober.

2016 - the year of some great loses

 Hola hello!

So it's been a busy year for me (a mixture of work and personal stuff) but I won't go into the details of that here. Just a quick update for you so you know I'm still alive.

This is my #GeneWilder #WillyWonka tribute. 

I've missed so many great celebrity deaths this year (and boy has 2016 been the year for it) and have been too busy to sketch out a tribute to my faves - but today I managed it.

As a pre-emptive - yesterday I told Mark Hamill on Facebook not to die and so far so good. (He has to stick around for Star Wars Ep9)

Panda Love

 Hola Hello!

A quick little update on a little watercolour sketch I did yesterday based on the two Red Pandas at the Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Park. They recently got a second Red Panda and it seems romance is blooming already.

D'awww...

The original painting has already found a new home but I am thinking of making some limited edition prints of this picture (minus the watermark of course). Drop me a line if you're interested.
