Good old Boris.......

Couple of sketches, over the top of the newspaper today, with my new pens, as an ode to Boris Johnson, our new hero x

BigFun November

Remain Silent

Editorial

Illustrating a story on modern policing and the plans to issue smartphones to officers to aid their work.

Localism.

In real life i dont entirely subscribe to this attitude. If you know me, that may not surprise you. At all. I just wanna be able to throw a frisbee around my local park on a saturday or sunday morning without tripping over the leftover revellers from the night before. Wearing sunglasses, when its grey and overcast, cos they're still up. And cant be arsed to go back to wherever it is that they actually do live, cos this is where people 'like us' go now.
On a side-note, ive rarely/never attempted to take the frisbee from its place on the shelf on either of these mentioned occasions to the suggested locations. But i couldnt. Even if i did want to, i couldnt. And i know i couldnt, because i hear you talking about it on Monday. You were at the park again were you? Again, oh yeah a heavy night, right yeah. Me? Nah i didnt go out. I stayed in and sulked.

The illustrated version of this outpouring will follow. Perhaps annotated with why i can go anywhere. Just for balance you understand.

There's no 'ino' or 'atte' and stuff. Im a filter cofee. Cheap as fuck.

Type-bloc bag drawing. By hand with the ole' marker pens.

YOU. WANT. ONE. 'n' that.

oli@olifrape.co.uk.

A heart on a sleeve.

And cos im well lame, i re-re-did this image again. 'Get a life'. Yep.

Honestly, a bigger marker pen makes my drawing look like this.....

There is really very little further to communicate here

Brace yourself.........for BigFun

Here we are. The latest BigFun flyer. Seems appropriate in light of the recent weather dunnit. xx

We all need some exposure dont we..........

Give yourself a pat on the back. Very well done.

And another. Thankyou and goodnight.

Why not get us nobodys involved instead. How about that

Just a little new text layout illustration im playing with at the mo. Early stages of development like! Sneak preview innit x

Meanwhile in celebrity town........

Michael Jackson had his funeral last week. Oh it was a who's who of anyone who's anyone in the weird microcosm of the hollywood bizarre. Maybe it looked a bit like this....

Got me a big new marker pen! Already run out....

Sometimes when your workin hard and its tough, you just want some praise. A 'well done', or to quote Alan Partridge ' That was negative, and right now i need two positives. One to counteract the negative and one just to have a positive!'

A little bit of validation then...............

New and revised and available

Well hello. Been a while. Whilst i have been working on new images over the last few weeks (always) ive also been tweeking some older ones for Stockillustrations.com where you can now buy/licence my work for all of your art direction needs!
