Illustration Friday - 'Skinny' - Screw Skinny...Eat Cake!




I think at least once a day, I look at myself and think, "maybe I could loose a few fatty bits here and there..."

At least once a day I wish I was skinny.

At least 5 times a day I want to eat cake!

 


  
These illustrations were quickly achieved with a scrap of white paper, an old biro, a retro cookery book I found on the shelf and my fella's camera skills...thanks Andy! xxx

Front Cover... Discuss!

Well, I'm just working on the front cover for 'This Way Up' at the moment.
I did the artwork and gave it to Hodder's before leaving for my travels in May.
They have sent back a design idea, and I have today adjusted it to have a slightly different font, more 'stencil' like, and added some arrows to make it more 'cardboard-boxy'.


This is the original cover idea...


...then...

...I've adjusted and added a few bits....and changed some colours.



Which do you prefer?
