Ready, steady, go!

pauldaviescartoons

Another sequence of drawings showing how I get here. First rough, second and final line work. The story, by my chum Gordon Thorburn, features a battle and this scene describes how one army manages to pin down another. Some accurate shooting required of course. The finals will be on view when the story is fully published on here in due course. Although the third drawing is the start of the final, it has to be tweaked a little before it’s fully ready. I’ll add half-tone with pastels and my fingers! It can be a bit of a messy business but is literally … Continue reading Ready, steady, go!

Coming up next year…

I’m working on a little book written by my chum Gordon Thorburn, ( Men and Sheds ) who apart from writing about sheds and bomber pilots from the Second World War ( Books about all sorts ), has written a little tome about…well, I’ll leave exactly what it’s about until I have it all ready. I’m doing the drawings for it and hope to publish it on-line in the New Year, or perhaps will be able to make a start before Christmas, as you’ll have plenty of time to read, learn, and digest. We’ll see. It will be on this site … Continue reading Coming up next year…

Lark Arse Ending and toast that takes off…

pauldaviescartoons

Whoever designed or made our toaster may well have had the devil in him, or her, on the day they put in the springs. The beast has the launch capacity unseen on any other toasters and frequently send pieces clear of the launch pad. The Sourdough frequently hits the floor, necessitating the “2 Second Rule”, wherein any food like object that hits the deck can be consumed afterwards as long as it has only laid there for 2 seconds. This does not apply to poached eggs. The toaster sometimes launches the bread so that it lands in another loading bay,  that is … Continue reading Lark Arse Ending and toast that takes off…

Time to do this again…

pauldaviescartoons

    Time to re-publish this which applies very well now. Any book about a Royal or even by one should be turned at the first opportunity. I first published this some years ago but it’s good for now. Turn them!     As we approach the bookbuying season it’s time to remind you to be a revolutionary. Publishers are notorious for churning out the most appalling rubbish in the hope that someone will buy it for Christmas for an unsuspecting friend or relative. Those books by celebs are the very worst. My late father had his own revolutionary way of dealing … Continue reading Time to do this again…

One that got away…

pauldaviescartoons

I do a regular Christmas card for Neil and this was one of my ideas and I thought the best of the two ideas I sent him. I told him it was the best but when put to the rest of the staff they voted the other one as the winner, which is a take on driverless vehicles. Well, I’m not going to let this one go to waste, so here it is. And on a dull damp Sunday with the past week being filled on my blog with grey pictures this is the first step back into publishing drawings again. … Continue reading One that got away…

Soon to be available as a print, if you are fond of leather it might suit.

pauldaviescartoons

I’ve been faffing around again, this time with this drawing done for my Exhibition back in the Summer. This drawing original was sold at the time and a recent enquiry from Canada made me get my finger out from where it has been languishing to try and find the digital file. All this so I could make it available as a print. The first version looked slightly different, and you can see it right here: This one’s for charity Delving into files is fraught with problems for me. I’m not quite as tidy as I should be, and when looking for … Continue reading Soon to be available as a print, if you are fond of leather it might suit.
