The Pearl

"You've seen a ship with black sails that's crewed by the damned, and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out?" Here`s a practice o' th' Black Pearl while I plan ou' th' `Pirates o' th' Caribbean` sleeve. Nay sure if I will go wi' this particular image tho. I be really more imaginin' th' pearl wi' th' black sails blowin' in th' wind an' waves breakin' in fore o' th' ship. Savvy? I guess I`ll be havin' t' hunt around fer a better image t' use. Quite happy wi' this particular drawin' tho.

Drawn wi' 2B pencil an' pen. I be happy wi' how th' water turned ou', but nay as happy wi' th' clouds an' mist. Th' rear mast be supposed t' look like 'tis comin' through th' mist, but 't didna turn ou' quite as I be hopin'. Oh well. Thar`s always next time.

A pistol with one shot

The beginnings of a full sleeve I am designing... any guesses what the theme is?

And if you need it, here's another hint:

That's right, I'm designing a Pirates of the Caribbean themed sleeve. I have it all worked out in my head. It's gonna look cool. These two drawings are just some practice ones. I decided that I would stick to "Curse of the Black Pearl" for the images, rather than combining all the movies. It's going to feature the Black Pearl, Jack Sparrow, the pirate's coins, the pistol with one shot, and possibly a few other trinkets from the movie.  Still trying to decide whether to do it in colour or black and grey. I am leaning more toward black and grey tho.

Bengal Tiger

I pulled out my colouring pencils tonight and decided to try my hand at another tiger, using this photograph as a reference. That is all.

Tavi Script

Can you believe that my son, Tavi, is 3 months old already!? Where did the time go? I've had this onesie sitting around for 3 months waiting to draw on it, but I haven't really had a chance. But I'm on holidays this week, so I had a day to myself to play my guitar, draw a logo for a friend and draw a picture for Tavi.


His name is based on a font called "Blackletter Shadow". I like this particular script because it is a bit more modern than the Old English type script fonts.

The picture on the back of the onesie is based on a traditional Harley Davidson logo I saw once, with a few personalised touches.

Once I've washed the onesie, I'll post another photo of him wearing it :) Hopefully it will fit him for a few more weeks before he grows out of it. If he does, I'll just simply have to draw him another one.
