F1 Malaysia 2008

The inevitable Ferrari comeback was on the cards at Sepang and they didn't disappoint, Raikkonen showed the dominance that could very well take him to a second title, whereas Massa just didn't. Hamilton came away still leading the championship but it's setting up to be a tough duel to the death.

With a two week gap till the next race I will try to get some other illustrations up for the not so F1 minded...

oh and this too

A Picture of Dorian Gray

Of course, i will also be working on more focussed works, perhaps of the books i read over the year............lets hope i keep reading.

Visual ramblings

As for me, with no particular focussed sport watching hobbies, i endeavour to continue to produce 'visual ramblings' without any clear narrative whatsoever.........not entirely true!

F1 Australia 2008

As the new season has begun, so has my illustrated documentation of it, each Grand Prix will have an illustration done for it with the creation of a book at the end in October, which will be available to buy.
As races go last Sundays was a great way to start the season, Ferrari looked a little lost, only seven cars actually finished and Lewis brought home a new guard for the win, roll on Sepang!
