COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.

MS Seapunk

I showed Mrs Potts once before, but did I show her neighbour's yacht? (Both designs are for a children's production led by writer and composer Henry Muldrow)


Usually, I start drawing small sketches of the character / vehicle / bg I'm aiming at. Then I continue with sketches in the final scale.

  3. I just wish my screen was big enough so I could take it all in at once… but then my head would probably explode!

  4. I really dig your steam punk works. They are so cool and inspiring. This one and the most recent sky rider... really trippy and cool. I love the futuristic junk yard feel they have.
