80's was the era I grew up in. I used to watch this cute cartoon called Barbapapa. It was created in the 70's but I grew up with it so assumed that was ok.
The characters could change shape and they were all made of fairly bright colours.

Here we go. I finally coloured this drawing. One of my first go with colour pencils. I'll keep trying.

Left this spot for a future illo.

Here is a quick sketch on the subject. Always thought that peace negotiations were like a big circus! Going on holidays tomorrow with no access to the net. Will post a finished version when I come back.

Here is a second take on the HELP topic. This is a drawing I started before I knew what the subject was for this week. I rendered it in illustrator. When I first started my graphic design course I thought illustrator was the best software ever... Not so sure anymore...

HELP!!!!!! Kept it simple (as always).
I might try to draw another illustration as I am officially on holidays.

Just in case I don't post anything before Xmas, I wish you all a great Festive season!

Mask...mmmmm. Thought of the carnival. Just been to Africa (was amazing by the way) so also thought of traditional ceremony masks... and then remembered that a few years ago everybody went nuts and there was a worldwide shortage of gas masks.
I drew this from a picture using a biro. I imported it in photoshop but didn't changed anything apart from the surround.

Might... another word I wouldn't really use. I knew it mostly because of that movie with Jim Carrey (well, now it's a sign that you're raising the bar when you start using anything Jim Carrey as a reference!). I double checked it in the dictionary to see if there were other meanings to the word (might as well learn something) and found this expression: "they pulled with might and main". It did it for me... How many times have I been trying to get into a restaurant and pulled as hard as I could for 30s before someone came and pushed the door for me.... How desperate must have I looked!
Can anyone tell me if this expression is still being used?

I might try to render it later.
Have a mighty good week!

Invention! What a great thing! As a kid, I remember dreaming in front of Star Trek and Star Wars thinking that soon we would be able to do all those extraordinary things. How wrong was I!
The one I am most impatient to see is the teletransporter. Leaving in Australia, instead of flying 2 days to go home I could just press a button and go for dinner at my parents place! Awesome!!
And the shopping... Easy. Buy as much as you want. And the packing... easy too, not having to worry about luggage restrictions.... What a dream! The best invention ever!

Did you know that each year more than 45million turkeys are slaughtered for Thanksgiving!?
I thought I'd try to see the event from there perspective as thanksgiving is not something I have ever experienced (apart from seeing it movies - is that the holiday when families always seem to get together for a massive punch up?). Nevertheless, happy thanksgiving to all.
