Description I've felt like this a bit lately….

Based on a magazine illustration I did recently… changed it a bit and then painted in a bunch of stuff from my desk. Ignore the wildy inaccurate perspective work… it looked quirky and charming in my original sketch but now its starting to bother me...

Things to know.
• this is about the 7th or 8th time I've painted the plastic skull on my desk… and yes, I have a plastic skull on my desk.
• no, that isn't really me…. I have a goatee and don't dribble as much when I drink.
• painting multiple drinking cans is less fun than you might think.
• dinosaurs on the other hand are awesome!

Pencil sketch, painted in photoshop.

Deadlines are a two edged sword... they can help you focus and get more done quickly.... and they can drive you insane!

Cheers Iain! Excellent move on binning the shirt... it's never quite the same after all that wear, caffeinated drink spillage and cold pizza crumbs and usually ends up being something that should be labelled as a biochemical hazard
