rory walker's illustrations

2008-03-27T13:22:00.006Z

I've drawn a warthoggy type creature.

This is Lance - He's my hero. Followed by a lovely London Road lady, followed by Pinky who's drinking some special brew, followed by a ruffian with a nice crevate, and followed by a scribble with the cat on it.

This is Lance - he's my hero.

My new pen is ace! Here's some more piccies from it.

Some recent brush pen sketches.

2008-03-12T15:20:00.002Z

I liked the brush pen enough to buy my own. Here's a tester of it whilst making a curry. I've gone for the chaos approach.

2008-03-10T20:37:00.007Z

Here's some drawings from the first "werks" drawing club, done today. The theme was "pies" as is evidenced by the first drawings. The others are drawn with the left hand, and we finish off with a drawing of Mags.

2007-12-11T19:57:00.000Z

Golly goodness I've been busy!

Here's a few of my many recent additions.

2007-12-05T22:06:00.000Z

I've been playing "Art Director" for a friend to help him get his portfolio together. Here's a couple of drawings that I did at the same time, for the same projects in order to boost my portfolio too.

2007-10-12T13:30:00.000+01:00

A selection of girls doing stuff.

2007-02-28T16:44:00.000Z

This is what I'm like when i look at a computer screen. But not as a girl, or in bizarre colours...

2007-02-06T22:00:00.000Z

These are some illustrations for a book on ICT - (Information Computer Technology, I presume) for 11-12 year olds.

2006-12-01T18:17:00.000Z

One of the people at work has left, so i made a card to wish her well. I don't know what it means.

2006-11-12T18:10:00.000Z

Mister Greenist (dancing dan - see links section) has had a birthday. So i've ripped off his drawing, and pretended I haven't. Hopefully noone will ever notice...

2006-11-09T18:09:00.000Z

And this is another one for the previous chap, who left once before too. Or maybe it was after he left the second time, or maybe prior to the first. I don't recall.

2006-11-09T18:06:00.000Z

And here's a leaving card for someone who left quite some time ago, that I've just found lurking at the back of my computer.

2006-11-09T18:00:00.000Z

Recently one of the chaps I work with left. As he was an alright sort, I made a nice card to wish him well.

2006-11-08T20:48:00.000Z

My legions of fans often wonder what I look like.

2006-10-12T17:33:00.000+01:00

And here's another from the cavemen story.

2006-09-06T15:02:00.000+01:00

This is a page from a book with a very bizzare story involving cavemen.

2006-09-06T10:41:00.000+01:00

These are character designs for the captain of a ship for a new childrens book I'm making.

2006-09-01T15:23:00.000+01:00

I drew this picture quite a few years ago and it's remained one of my fav's.

A slightly belated 6 year anniversary of a drawing looking out from my parents patio into their jungle/garden.

2006-09-01T11:00:00.000+01:00

Every so often I like to post an olde picture. This is from about oct/nov 1998 and depicts me and my housemates in Bath getting ready to go out to a "Chrystal maze" themed party. As you can see we put a lot of effort into our costumes. When we got there we found that noone else had.

2006-08-29T11:49:00.000+01:00

before - after

2006-08-09T12:03:00.000+01:00

2006-07-11T13:07:00.000+01:00

A picture I'm sure many will be familiar with, driving through rush hour, feeling weary etc etc. I don't drive so I'm just making this picture up. I haven't a clue what it's really like for everyone.

2006-06-27T23:04:00.000+01:00

This is a full page picture for a science book - detailing dangers in the lab.

2006-06-27T19:04:00.000+01:00

And here's the coloured version, for your pleasure and delight.

2006-06-27T12:21:00.000+01:00

This is an image for Carve surfing magazine. It's a bit different from usual as it doesn't conform so rigidly to my self imposed A4 sizing constraints. This is the black and white line drawing version - as you can see.

2006-06-17T11:13:00.000+01:00

This is a drawing for a story where someone thinks that someone else has got a tomato for a chin. As you can tell.

2006-06-06T23:02:00.000+01:00

This is a French pesant shrieking as a giant balloon lands in his field.

2006-06-06T22:55:00.000+01:00

This is a drawing for a story about a spaceman from another planet that lands on earth, but he's well tiny. Like superduper small. So he's climbing some grass.

2006-06-04T21:42:00.000+01:00

Here we have a volcanologist, presumably he's reading some sort of seimic data, but it's apparant that his doggy has already gotten to grips with the tumultuous earth shaking events.

2006-06-04T21:39:00.000+01:00

This is for a book on teaching spanish kids english, (or maybe it's teaching english kids spanish - but i think it's the former). They have to explain the scene, which in this situation should be relatively straight forward.

2006-06-04T21:36:00.000+01:00

There's a joke with this picture to do with a bear leaving a pub, but I can't remember it off the top of my head.

2006-04-16T12:39:00.000+01:00

This is the view from my front door. As you can see, there's daffodils growing in next doors garden.

2006-03-30T23:05:00.000+01:00

Here are the finished illustrations for my exhibition. They're now nicely framed too and ready for putting on the wall.

2006-03-22T23:35:00.000Z

I'm going to be participating in an exhibition in my home town of sunny sunny brighton during the month of may. As I've been working really hard on normal work for months I've really not given much thought to what I should show until the last few days. Luckily I came to the conclusion that as it's a serious art show with lots of people showing "proper" art, I should follow suit. I've decided to call my part of the show "15 LIVES" and to show 15 lives in succsession. So as a step by step thingy about putting stuff up and... erm... here's the roughs for my pictures, if you look carefully you should be able to work out the sequence of each of said 15 lives. Accompanying each page of art is going to be a page of sound effects. Now, if that's not high brow I don't know what is.

2006-03-19T21:56:00.000Z

Carving a nice thruster through the waves, switching back, and gaining some radicalness.

2006-03-19T21:53:00.000Z

2006-03-19T21:15:00.000Z

A new picture for CARVE surfing magazine, featuring the "octobong".

2006-03-13T21:43:00.000Z

A veritable menagerie of animals.

2006-03-10T11:12:00.000Z

A weird family.

2006-03-10T11:11:00.000Z

Here's a history teacher. He's a very interesting chap who loves talking in a slow voice about stuff.

2006-03-10T11:09:00.000Z

Here's some old people and a big cake. They're probably going to eat it when you're not looking.

2006-03-01T09:52:00.000Z

Here are lots of penguins holding placards. The idea was to make them into an alphabet. I drew this years ago, probably 1998 or 1999.

2006-03-01T09:50:00.000Z

Here is a tubby person pushing a skinny person over.

2006-03-01T09:48:00.000Z

This is a picture I did last summer, or maybe the summer before, I don't quite recall, for a project named "The Brighton Linesmen". It was fun. And probably still would be if I had the time to continue it.

2006-02-23T10:53:00.000Z

This has to be one of my favourite pictures that I've done in a long time. The facial expressions work really rather nicely.

2006-02-23T10:51:00.000Z

This picture is showing a couple of different forces, i.e. wind, and drag. I'm sure it's more complex than that, but that's it in a simple nutshell.

2006-02-23T10:50:00.000Z

here we have a sinking boat.

2006-02-13T10:14:00.000Z

Here is someone blowing on a plant. I guess he thinks it'll make it grow better / quicker. I'm thinking he's a bit like Percy from Blue Peter

2006-02-13T10:12:00.000Z

This is a garden on Mars for a science book

2006-02-10T09:21:00.000Z

3 chaps doing different things - fairly self explanitory really.

2006-02-10T09:19:00.000Z

This is a comic strip with character design based on "Mafalda", which is a very popular Argentine piece that appears (i think) in daily newspapers.

2006-02-10T09:18:00.000Z

A car breaking the speedlimit

2006-02-08T09:55:00.000Z

2006-02-08T09:52:00.000Z

One of the CD rom pics I've done is of a couple of lads in the lounge looking at one of their dads passed out and slumped in the sofa. This is it here.

Here's a picture of a couple getting married.

2006-01-31T12:24:00.000Z

This is part one of a two part set of images - this one being a beautiful beach and lovely surrounding countryside, the second one showing the same scene but horribly mutilated with power stations, pollution and rubbish.

2006-01-31T12:22:00.000Z

I've had to draw numerous different contraceptives, including this selection of different johnny packets.

2006-01-31T12:20:00.000Z

Another section of the CD Rom I'm working on has a historical bias, these pictures of all of polish people during the second world war, and their house.

2006-01-31T12:17:00.000Z

I've been working on a cd-rom which covers all sorts of things. This is a picture of one of the buildings of Alaska University in Fairbanks.

2005-12-15T12:53:00.000Z

One of my work collegues saw a seagul eat a whole flapjack it'd found on the ground - in one mouthfull!

2005-12-15T12:35:00.000Z

this picture shows going to school in a polluted future.

2005-12-15T12:31:00.000Z

this is a picture of a snowman

2005-11-09T14:06:00.000Z

This is the original character design sheet for Pirate Jim for the pirate books. You can see he's changed quite a bit from initial drawings to how he looks in the finished pictures.

2005-11-09T14:05:00.000Z

This is the original characted design sheet for Captain Crab for the pirate books
