completed

Finished off the illustration today. Went mad and added a background and everything! The boys are having a playtime kickabout in the school yard. Am slowly warming to it, though if I were to do a similar pic I'd perhaps separate the bunch out a bit more - although if you've ever watched a bunch of young lads playing footy, they all tend to chase the ball almost as one! It must be a nature thing, a bit like birds all flocking and turning/diving together.

A quick doodle of a very athletic 'bot doing a 'Rooney'. Hopefully his namesake won't repeat the feat tonite!

spot the ball

On Friday the school is having a world cup disco to raise funds. Just sketched out a spot the ball pic, where children pay a few coppers to append their name in a circle to guess where the 'goal' was scored. The correct 'guess' then gets drawn out of a hat and a prize awarded (along the lines of guess the name of the teddy). Not original, but hopefully effective.

Update on 'A is for Art' - have just been reviewed on sweetsweetlife.typepad.com and have seen sales rocket! Thankyou Amy. Please check out her wonderful blog.
