UPDATE 1 May 2006: This will have to do as this week's IF entry, heck I'd like to think I did it in anticipation of the topic. I know that would be stretching it though. Anyway what you see is what you get - apologies for the blatant cross promotion.

I'm very chuffed that I was invited to submit some works for Holograph Magazine by its editor (and fine illustrator in her own right) Roz Foster.
I submitted three pieces.
My favourite of the three is this one:
It will all make sense if you read the rationale for this piece (and a much larger image to boot), and the others here. <<Older Main Newer>>

Hey, that’s very clever. Nice play on words & imagery. But err, I don’t know whether to thank you or grumble ‘cos now I’d never look at sushi and fish fingers the same way again… LOL.

Wow, what a great hand and concept.Penny in South Australia

Good grief. I’m amazed you can draw with a hand like that, congratulations. The concept catches the eye then leads into all your detail, which is even more amazing.

I remember coming by and seeing this a couple of times (and smiling) but I thought I’d commented! Now I’m back to see where you’ve disappeared to. Having a life I suppose…

I will certainly go and take a look at the magazine, but while i’m here… WOW! Not only is this a funny and well conceived concept; it’s another fine example of your amazing talent! Congratulations!

Self promotion is all right! We all do that! And….. What about your self-portrait…MMMMM?

your drawing is so real that I can almost believe that you’ve exposed the truth…

Hi, wish you post some more drawings. Missing your beauiful work.

Thanks, Janey…..I’ve been busy at work, sick for a while, and lacking some motivation. Still hope to get pencil on paper very shortly.
