Technoclot

This is what I call a 'Technoclot'. A prime example of my illustrative style in it's truest form and from an aesthetic point of view, one of the reasons why I'm called Infected By Design.  You've all done that I'm sure, where you'll be on the phone and doodling on the pad next to it while you talk? Well imagine that scenario, but you've been chatting and doodling since you were 2 years old and it's now 28 years later , boosted by a streak of OCD and you've got what I call posh doodling! I HAVE to be neat, no lines out of place! It's a disease! It's an Infection.....

Welcome to my new blog and the world of Infected By Design.....

I hand draw everything I do. Always have. Always will.  More recently, I've started to scan a lot of my pieces in and use Illustrator to live trace and colour them, but this particular  one is from back when I was in the first year of my Graphics degree and hadn't discovered live trace yet, so it's just scanned in and colour enhanced using Photoshop. Done as a gift for some very good friends of mine, at the time I wanted it to be the best illustration I'd produced to date and it still remains one of my favourites.
