It's a really fascinating story and I thought I'd do a fun little character illustration of them wandering through the desert.

I really love all that whole post-war classic retro sci-fi aesthetic, it's so much more fun and optimistic, the innocence of the genre in a way. I plan to do futher illustrations like this and Return to Planet Bowie... ...that doesn't actually mean I'll be returning to planet Bowie...

It was completed back in October actually but I haven't had chance to post it on here. Took less than a day to do and was lots of fun. Helen Paradyce is a fictional character like Patsy Stone from Ad Fab, she boozes around and hangs out in the drivers pit with the young men. She has a column in tha magazine and this accompanied it.<br /><div></div>Paul Eckersleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00037609615580996141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237599771858171050.post-19721246998310627832007-09-12T15:22:00.001+01:002007-12-13T17:58:03.225+00:00Old Lady on Mobile<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIYjsm-UJ59ctkZd2yDzgyjbT8VJhVfz9YWI7sNZxUGA_m23z2OoviLQbiUe2x3kr3arsz1LG9HxopNEktLJLuxxKv1KxWsX4nU_6Ne0s9Z5YhI2nMGsw0RR6twYP_w3Om58z8vj-5DmE/s1600-h/OldLadyonMobile.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143518273687673538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIYjsm-UJ59ctkZd2yDzgyjbT8VJhVfz9YWI7sNZxUGA_m23z2OoviLQbiUe2x3kr3arsz1LG9HxopNEktLJLuxxKv1KxWsX4nU_6Ne0s9Z5YhI2nMGsw0RR6twYP_w3Om58z8vj-5DmE/s320/OldLadyonMobile.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhszNlDy-mCDFdYlV3uJ6JFSYTAmhw9VCPoudMECDleor0qSbFUsZCepqXT9o_KxMEqF4JIQGs_WXgEe6tD1lHO4REjRFnWbIcxwJplbODv4VJ6hqiVksnSbavDp9KZQYL9waL48vO5CT8/s1600-h/HelenParadyce.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This was just me messing about last week, only just posting it now.

I've been watching a lot of animated shows like The Venture Brothers, Futurama, American Dad and reading lots of Jack Kirby comics. Its all very inspirational and I'mk enjoying working in a more cartoony style.<br /></span></div>Paul Eckersleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00037609615580996141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237599771858171050.post-62435289799965173022007-08-14T12:28:00.000+01:002007-12-13T17:50:09.860+00:00Metalheads<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihvPIK5D2o5JFGcDZDPqRDXeUT8pqiEZ1biNQ6i77XhIhmzdlSvnkDoS70zcdBNrHWtrpxOh3b-g9glnh4LOMZqYHuJg3c8e_39xDrq7mWttKes6Puv8w7_ZjO4zaMlVHxtwNb2xVhAfE/s1600-h/metalheads.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143516255053044370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihvPIK5D2o5JFGcDZDPqRDXeUT8pqiEZ1biNQ6i77XhIhmzdlSvnkDoS70zcdBNrHWtrpxOh3b-g9glnh4LOMZqYHuJg3c8e_39xDrq7mWttKes6Puv8w7_ZjO4zaMlVHxtwNb2xVhAfE/s320/metalheads.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY4sq8diYCRDghXwofl8ttk1ak2io-rayuKLDJsM0Gvxo1mNq97snCYFXjyhp-fSidD_IdBVTuqWhVpOahfzY0ktc8No2lXULTjJQkesOO6Fcl_KmpHuxOv4l4kwu1Phdg0xDi_rt38E4/s1600-h/chef.jpg"></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This is an illustration I'm doing for a gift book for Harper Collins titled "What Would a Metalhead Do?" Its going to be a collection of funny illustrated scenarios. This is a sneek preview, the scenario is "Your best friend really sucks on guitar and is messing up the band." It then gives you a few funny options, which I won't spoil for anyone now.</span><br /><div></div></div>Paul Eckersleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00037609615580996141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237599771858171050.post-29504708751295350742007-08-13T22:43:00.001+01:002007-10-30T15:28:34.502+00:00All Star Dude<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdheyCCMQzWrytxa306oASO0hsDYnoIrb9XDDYSE9gZKV5kAVSgvgNwEDUPNY73nEa79TOrqcgM0jkHg5WjQU9vBkj5sBUvOAxMGgJnER4VnoM4VtYcXOm783YVPxlxXKnWqnXKwJnwy0/s1600-h/allstardude.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098304075425740354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdheyCCMQzWrytxa306oASO0hsDYnoIrb9XDDYSE9gZKV5kAVSgvgNwEDUPNY73nEa79TOrqcgM0jkHg5WjQU9vBkj5sBUvOAxMGgJnER4VnoM4VtYcXOm783YVPxlxXKnWqnXKwJnwy0/s320/allstardude.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This is a personal self-promotional piece from my American Legends set. I love drawing big hairy biker & hippe types, don't know what that says about me... having a beard and being a huge Bill Bailey fan are my only excuses. I hope the real metal textures I've used are visible. I think all that Hendrix and Led Zeppelin is starting to affect my work...</span><br /><div></div>Paul Eckersleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00037609615580996141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237599771858171050.post-3122731327251381712007-08-13T22:03:00.000+01:002007-08-13T22:21:20.633+01:00Welcome!
