tigers...

I'm actually starting early on a little bit bunny animal post for once. Next months topic is tiger and I've decided to kill two birds (should that be cats...?) with one stone and try and get a screen print design out of the ALBB topic. Frustratingly, I'm still not quite set up to get screen printing. My local area has a hose pipe ban on... still... ..., and I'm thinking it wiser to wait until I can clean up my surely very messy screens properly out of doors, instead of in the bath (I wonder, do any screen printers out there who are reading this just use the bath to clean up their equipment in...?). Until I put squeegee to screen I need to start amassing some designs to choose between and I thought I'd revisit a favourite theme of mine and try and illustrate William Blake's Tiger poem again. I'm a ways from finishing but here's some tiger explorations for the blog to be getting on with. Grrrr

Scruffy lookin' Nerf herders...

When Nerf was picked as the animal of the month over on A Little Bit Bunny blog I couldn't resist taking a stab at Han & Chewie along the way. The gag (such as it is) doesn't quite make it in the end in my humble opinion. One for the Star Wars fans I guess, referencing a quote from Empire Strikes Back... you know what they say, if you have to explain the joke... All things aside I still enjoyed myself, geeking out drawing Millennium Falcons, Wookies and Nerf poo. Pop on over to ALBB if you fancy seeing the finished illustration.
