Apple Tree - Jones

Hello, just found a minute to post this (early, but using the clever delayed posting feature!) and not knowing when I'd next get a chance I grabbed it with both hands!

Here's my interpretation of the title 'Apple Tree'. I expect that the other fellas probably had similar thoughts (or at least relating to the Apple computers theme), so I'm not claiming to be original or particularly cryptic with this one! But I am really chuffed with the end result and would really really love to screen print it as a big ol' poster!

Hope you like it too. I'll post some close ups on my website soon.

O

January 2009!

Apologies again for slow posting. I've realised I'm meant to have provided the new title, and here it is...

Apple Tree by Wolfmother, off of the album, Wolfmother...

Sorry, it's not a great title I know! But at least it's less morbid than some recent ones!!

Go!

Roses for the Dead - Jones

Oh gosh. So it's 5 days into the next month, and there's me thinking 'oh they won't have got round to it either, I'll be ok...'.

WRONG

Both Reeko and Gallusness have managed to post, and therefore so shall I. With regret...

It's a long long way from being the finished article but I'm afraid I didn't even get round to thinking that up - this is very early stages. Excuses and bull aside, I also realise that Gallusness has produced a sketch based on the Cadbury's Roses idea, and that it may seem that I've nicked his idea.

I honestly didn't. My sketches were based around the idea of the mystery gift under the Christmas tree wrapped in deathly wrapping paper - I didn't intend to use the Cadbury's branding etc, as the shape (as it always does) gives away the contents.

Again, apologies. Hopefully I might get more time this month but it's still looking unlikely...!

Roses For The Dead - Gallusness

December came and went in the world of Gallusness just like that. When I read Mr Jones last comment I sat thinking I'd done nothing also but for having had the briefest of mulls.

So a plan of action was struck. When you guys let me join in IST I wanted above all else to have some fun and experiment. This plan involved completing this months entry in twelve minutes. In a wee tribute to twelve nights (unfortunately there was no chance of using that time scale). A cheeky wee drawing was knocked out. Taking the title very very literally Cadbury's have found another occasion to cash in on, or maybe not. Gents I give you the coffin shaped Roses tin.

Happy New Years to you both, here is hoping more normal service resumes in 09.

Roses For The Dead – Reeko

In the interests of full disclosure, I'm writing this post on Friday 19th December. I am going to use the clever auto posting thingie to hopefully post this image on New Years day. All that feels very strange and Back To The Future-y so let's hope nothing happens that creates a paradox and the image starts to fade before our eyes. I don't know what that action could be, I just hope I don't end up stuck in 1885... I do look good with a '50's quiff so at least my hair would be happy.

There was a lot of development, dropped ideas and reworking that went into this image but I won't bore you with all that here! For those interested, come on over to my own site to read the full story there...
