'No room at the Holiday Inn' hand coloured, by Agent Provocateur on Dec 5, 2008 18:25:13 GMT 1, Long time no post, but never fear, beavering has been my middle name 
I've been getting into the Christmas spirit (literally!) and thought I'd post one of the images I've been working on. It's not my usual style but thought it would be good to experiment as it's the end of the year. Let me know what you think!
There are various other bits and pieces I am putting the finishing touches too... and maybe some of you lucky people will be getting a special AP festive parcel through the post! If I can finish everything in time ;D
AP
ps ... I will be experimenting with some hand finished colours too.

I like this, nice twist on Xmas from the origins bringing right up to date into the society we now live in.
Would really like to see your other work. Especially since your taking a new direction...

Really like it though. What hand finishing are you thinking of? A little colour?
I do like art that makes me chuckle, and this does!

'No room at the Holiday Inn' hand coloured, by Agent Provocateur on Dec 10, 2008 17:02:55 GMT 1, Haha cheers... it's a bit more 'Ba humbug' than 'Happy Christmas' 
As for the hand finishing, I am working on various colour washes, want to take away a bit of the gloom, make it brighter and highlight a couple of areas.
Will post soon.

'No room at the Holiday Inn' hand coloured, by Agent Provocateur on Dec 11, 2008 17:24:55 GMT 1, Cheers dellboy, 'fraid this one isn't a stencil as it's only A5 (210 x 148 mm!)
Buuut rest assured I have been hacking away at a bit of A3 card to stencil this beast onto canvas... the only problem is I think this size is still too small for all the detail!! Fiddly to say the least 
I'll test the A3 version, see how it looks, but definitely go for a much larger stencil for the final version.

'No room at the Holiday Inn' hand coloured, by Agent Provocateur on Dec 16, 2008 11:18:58 GMT 1, Morning all... just took a few photos of the inaugural 'Biggles Annual' '08. It's been a nightmare getting them ready, was going to print it properly but nothing came within budget! So what I have been doing is printing it out on my own colour printer, folding and stapling as I go along Yeah I know, not exactly professional, but I think it's a nice little memento for the quality people that have supported me this year
It's a 24 page booklet with all the Biggles pieces I've completed this year... it also has the story to date explaining the trials and tribulations of the intrepid flyer!
Cover
First spread
The edition will be 21, all signed, dated and numbered
... there may even be something special on the centre spread
Keep the comments coming... I'll be back soon ;D
