New Website in progress

I'm working on a new website which will display both my illustration and fine art.
Am using Other People's Pixels which provides wonderful customizable and content manageable templates for artists.
I can't wait to get it up!! ETA = 3 days.
Then... a big glass o' wine.

New work: As You Like It Poster

Initial black and white sketch


Sketch and 1st colour idea for a poster I'm working on.

Posters: The most Artful form in Commercial Art

Am working on some poster samples so have sought inspiration from my book Masters of Poster Design by John Foster. Great book including dozens of really incredible posters.
One of my faves above: a stunning theatre poster by Dave Plunkert of Spur Design.. who was clearly influenced by Saul Bass.

Another (Very DIY) response to the poster

A response to the Keep Calm and Carry on Posters

The folks at Modern Toss in the UK have come up with a new slogan in keeping with the current economic collapse. Apologies to any delicate eyes reading this post!
