From my last blog post, I said that I was a bit addicted to typographic illustrations at the moment, and this post doesn’t help my cause, as I’ve produced another one, and am really enjoying it! I wanted to produce some hand rendered type which sat against my way of working with gouache, and see what I could come up with.
So instead of taking inspiration from quotes or sayings, while I was watching Match of the Day (sorry ladies), I got some inspiration from an unlikely source. With Arsenal and Arsène Wenger being a bit under pressure recently, I thought ill do a illustration of their uncertain future, (even though they did win yesterday). It was a fun project as I love painting and drawing faces, and I discovered that the Arsenal manager has quite a few wrinkles, maybe because of his stressful job!
Many thanks for listening and visiting my news page today. You can follow what I’m up to on my Twitter, Facebook or Google + pages, I’ll really appreciate it if you do, and don’t be afraid to say hi to me! Many thanks again, and have a great day!
