The IT cloud

By IT and Computer Stuff

early form of cloud downloading

At work this week, I’ve been reading quite few reports. Call me old fashioned, but I still prefer paper to pixels. I think it’s the feeling of interaction through touching something like paper, rather than clickety click clicking a key board.

What about you?

Revealing the Art of da Vinci

Introducing Vitruvian Man

Let me guess, you’ve always wondered the name of this man?

For my sixth Art of series, I couldn’t help but play with this iconic drawing by Leonardo da Vinci. He looks great dressed with a tea towel…

…and even better with an apron, armed with beater and wooden spoon…

But let’s start with the story behind Vitruvian Man

Can you guess the name of the original piece of art and by whom?

I’m very excited to be releasing my 5th piece of work in The Art of Series

This side project involves reinterpreting timeless art favourites through a cartoon filter and transporting it into modern living. It fuses iconic works of art with everyday life by incorporating the actual product (such as a tea towel, wall clock or phone case cover) within the context of the art illustration. In this way, I hope to bring some fun to everyday life when interacting with common household products… Yes, dish drying, can be fun!

A new chapter…

Donald trump and his wall

I’ve never done caricature before, but still life…well that’s different.

Is it only me, or do you think oranges (literally) when you see Donald Trump?

Bad Hair Day

By That's life

Cartoon of a bad hair day

…I’ll let you be the judge…

Speaking personally, bad hair days I can cope with; but the first day I spotted a grey hair took the concept to a whole new level. No longer was it confined to the constraints of a day, this was the beginning of a journey I was not mentally prepared for. So I did what any sensible person in denial would do…I plucked it out.

How do you deal with bad hair days?

Cloud servers pictogram

When the cloud terminology initially made its presence known, I must admit I was a bit confused. I mean, clouds are up in the sky; so what’s with gravity constrained servers hanging up there too? But as time has past, I’m now clearer than ever before. In fact, I put this little cloud pictogram together to help those of you still in the dark.

More work conference calls

Conference call when on mute

More conference call cartoons inspired by this week’s work calls… And in case you’re wondering, I was Frank, not Bob.

But just between you, me and the internet; I have fallen into the Bob category on prior occasions… Shhh! Mum’s the word.

A typical work conference call

By IT and Computer Stuff, That's life, Work

office on line conference call

Sound familiar…Or should that be look familiar?

This cartoon was inspired by the online conference calls I make as part of day to day work in the office these days. However, it was when I reflected on the now 14 million+  YouTube views video A conference call in real life, that I thought to myself, how would I convert the idea into 2D cartoon form.

Do you make online conference calls at work?

What funny things happen to you in those calls? Who knows, I might turn it into a cartoon.

 

 

A visual interpretation of daydreaming

By That's life

Cartoon daydreaming

The Cambridge dictionary definition for daydreaming is “a series of pleasant thoughts about something you would prefer to be doing or something you would like to achieve in the future”

Lately, I’ve been daydreaming of winning Tatts and thinking of all the things I would do with the prize money.

What do you daydream about?
