The one they actually went for...

A few idea sketches for the Oldie Review of Books cover

Can you guess which one they went for? I'll post a pic of the actual cover tomorrow, or you could just go and buy a copy of the Oldie...

Oldie pics

I just realized that I never really mention my Oldie stuff on the blog, so here goes:

My illustrations in the Oldie are for the "Rant" collums in which guest writers vent spleen about various irritants. The pics are tiddlers but they're fun to do, and it's a nice way poke my brain back in to action after more long term labour intensive projects. I've posted a few of my most recent illustrations along with the two rejected rough ideas (I usually send three) . I'd be interested to hear if anyone can guess what the articles where about, I'll post the answers in the comments if anyone wants to know.

Giant Poo

Once or twice a month I do a teeny weeny illustration for the "rant" in the Oldie Magazine. I was just sending off the roughs for this month's one when I noticed this in my Rant folder from 2009. He he, a monster turd. Just thought I'd share.

Oldie Work

Whilst clearing out my desktop I found this little chappie that I drew for The Oldie many moons ago. The first person who can correctly guess what this one's about gets a Star Bar.
