Computer Arts editorial
It aint all about ‘Your Mum Rang’ or 3D glasses…
Actually, it’s one third about 3D glasses.
For a few months in 2005 I produced some DPS (double page spread) illustration for Computer Arts magazine here in the UK. This particular ‘set of 3’ were mostly drawn and recoloured, mostly including some sense of a dynamic background, keeping the line quality from a freehand line. Surprised I got away with it for a digital arts magazine…

Advertising on the internet
I began with the letters W,W,W – redefined their meaning and decided to get three female salespeople ‘pushing’ the Internets wares onto you.

The girls were dressed in air hostess-like clothing to emphasise this ‘information super highway’. If that wasn’t enough egg in the cake, I made it all full-colour stereoscopic too – red on the left.

Freelance designer ‘over’ multi-tasking, manically achieving things on a solo basis.
I decided to create a scene (not that dissimilar to my workspace) that a designer lived and worked in. The view shows four characters working on various things. One is using the phone, glaring at a screen, painting on a flat surface, cutting some artwork.
If you notice, there is something ‘odd’ about each character…
