Climbing The Ladder

Thought I'd give myself a bit of a bank holiday kick and set a 3 hour deadline to get this illustration done (from concept to completion). Have to admit it felt a little rushed so is a little sketchy in places... anyhow it's based on a article I read the other day about class and prejudice in the climbing of the social ladder.

Think I've earnt that beer now, happy holidays!

ITV and the TicTac takeover

Posting this a little late but was a editorial for a article about when ITV jumped to an ad break in the dying moments of the Everton Vs Liverpool FA cup tie, just as Everton scored the only goal of the game!

Pretty sure the fans hated it but Tic Tac's bosses must have loved the captive audience.

Too much of a good thing will kill you

Here's a editorial piece I've just finished - supposedly 'If you love coffee and drink more than 100 cups in 4 hours you'll probably die.' Hmm... even though the 'probably' is slightly vague, if you ever feel the need to try I would still recommend stopping at the 100 mark.

Luckily I drank no coffee in the making of this illustration, just a bottle of wine so I'll be fine.

Spend today worry tomorrow.

Don't know about anyone else but now Labour have cut VAT by 2.5% I'm going to go out and spend £800 on a 50 inch TV I don't really need cos at a saving of £20 how can you say no?
But at least I'll sleep well knowing I've helped the economy which will obviously no doubt be reciprocated in a year or so when I'm struggling.

Plus with that extra £20 quid I'll nip out and buy a new jumper, that way I'll never have to use the central heating...
