Don't be mean to dogs and stuff

So, I'm thinking about studying Design next year. Or alternately I'll continue to work full time because I've become quite accustomed to having an income. But don't really have to worry about making that decision until I get offered a place in the Design course. And so here is the SPCA poster I had to make as part of my application.

And, thanks to my inability to read the English language properly, it was all done the night before it had to be submitted. And what a fun night that was...

The Rocketeer (apparently)

It's been about twenty years since I last saw the film, and even then most of my memories of it are focused on young Jennifer Connelly, but thanks to the wonders of Google Images, I'm pretty sure the Rocketeer looks something like this. Although probably with less of a lop-sided head than I've drawn him with.

Drawn as an entry in the weekly Facebook OzComics drawing competition (and to avoid doing real work).

View from the Villa

The view from the back of the villa in Hoi An, Vietnam. Aproximately. There may have been more trees in real life, but they were way too tedious to draw.

My entry in the Sydney Opera House Graphic 'Air Your Grievances' competiton

Didn't win me diddly but it was still good to be drawing again. And my 'monkey at a typewriter' technique of learning to use Photoshop seems to be finally paying off. A little.

Silt and the Stylish Affectation

As you may have noticed, Aaron is no longer a redhead. While laughing at gingers is, of course, hilarious, these days it seems a little easy. Kind of like shooting orange roughy in a barrel. So lets laugh at dumb blondes instead.

Silt and the Really Choice Discovery IV

And with that I think we might take a break from cartoons where the punchline is a dead body. And I look forward to setting the next strip somewhere other than a damn paddock too.

Silt and the Really Choice Discovery III

...so, better late than never? Maybe we should just give schedules a miss and I'll just say there'll be a new cartoon whenever there's a new cartoon. Yeah, that sounds committal.

And, for the continuity freaks out there, yes, everyone has grown an extra finger in the off-season. It just doesn't seem right drawing all  these digital amputees. Just because The Simpsons do it doesn't mean its the right thing to do. For more information, read Three Fingers by Rich Koslowski.
