To sit alongside our www.haveagander.biz ‘Spiffing gent on a penny farthing’ greetings card, we needed a female counterpart. Hand-drawn in pen and ink, I used digital colour on the illustration and a traditional watercolour wash for the background.

An update of a previous digital edition, this one’s been painted as an original as a gift to a cycling-crazy friend. Hope you liked it Dan ; - ) Winsor & Newton watercolour on The Langton 300gsm Grain Fin paper.

Skullbikery

With my graphic designer hat on, I have always been a fan of mixing two images to make a visual statement, so here’s an example, Skullbikery. It’s hand-drawn with a brush and ink (the shading on the left done seperately as a seperate ‘plate’ as it were). Then I scanned the artwork and added colour digitally. Designed to be produced as a digital print.
