Another greeting card gag - the style on this one is a little looser than before, and I think I prefer it. I have a font of my own which I haven't used on any of these yet (at the moment it's just my freehand writing) which I also prefer, so I'll get that baby installed soon and use it on future cards!
As promised more greeting cards! Another occassion this time, though most of my other ideas are simply gags with no particular date or event in mind.
I have about 30 or so ideas for Greeting Cards along this kinda vein, so with Valentine's Day fast approaching I thought it would be a good time to put this one up! I'm liking the simple layout and strong colours, which seems to work fine on all the other ones I've cleaned up so far.
I love doing these kind of doodles on a Friday afternoon. Most start out life in my sketchbook which I carry around with me, and anything I think particularly interesting/funny ends up here.
I was worried that the gym I go to in my lunch hour (I typed 'munch' hour first, but I suppose that's what it is too) would be overrun with keen fitness boffins come January - they didn't materialize, though. Anyway, I still came up with this gag!
More gags as promised! I was trying to come up with some cartoons that would work in Welsh as well as English - whether that be because there's no dialogue or text, or whether it's because any text would be easily translatable. This gag falls into the latter category, so I have a version which reads 'Cymerwch ofal o'r step'. The goal is to send these out to local Welsh mags and papers and see what the feedback is!
Happy 2008! I'm making it my goal this year to really work on some cartoon strips and gags. My style tends to gravitates around certain similar themes depending on the subject matter or type of gag, but I'm always looking to nail some sort of style that I'm happy with that suits the kind of things I come up with that's a bit more consistent.
