DRAWN-Together: Tooning night and day...

With bbtoons going really well, newspaper coverage, radio chats about me and my little graphics and getting on TV, I thought it would have gone to my head.... oddly enough it hasn't.. it's that rare comodity of a REAL JOB that I am striving for still... but things are looking up this month and looks like it could soon happen!

It's been a busy couple of weeks for me. First I had my graphics shown on primetime national television with a GREAT review and then in the papers which spawned some internet media coverage from MSN also which is kinda funky.

I even managed to get to meet up with a new design company on Wednesday who are very interested in my graphics and working with them.... hopefully not freelanced but inhouse would be nice.

ANGEL TOON IN PROGRESS.jpgI finally managed to get time to finnish the last of the housemate designs the other day and now I can get cracking with the more entertaining satirical ones.. kinda like the spot toons you get in the newspaper... talking of which I was also in another local newspaper with my illustration of Alan Keen and his expenses claimes... that was Friday, so I wonder what next week will bring.

The BBTOONS is getting more interesting now for me as I have a good idea of housemates and I have been reworking their cartoons I already created so that when I do the spot satirical toons I can add more character and make it a lot more interesting... I have just started a new eviction picture of Angel where I totally redesigned her, but now she has a look that blends with the new characters also... I will have to do the same thing with a couple of the ones I did at the start.. but thats half the fun as now I can use my own drawings for inspiration... so I am copying off myself! "Is that cheating?"

I was also contacted by a recording company I used to know about working on some projects in the near future and just to cap things off I had a personal invite to the Civic Business Lunch from the Lady Mayor herself who I am cartooning as Betty Boo or Wonderwoman next week.

So things are moving along and with a connection I made with a company back in January I may be the illustrative arm of a well respected design company also.

So things going well :)

Here is a BIG version of the illustration that got in the local papers about Alan Keen taht I created... took about 1.5 days to complete fully.

You can see more of my graphics recently created at:

Http://bbtoons.com the Big Brother Cartooning website, where I cartoon all the housemates from Big Brother and then start doing daily satirical toons of them.... animated versions coming soon too.

Http://dtdstudio.deviantart.com This is where I have a little folio of some examples of my work whilst my website is being redone for Summer 2009.

If you just happen to run a design company and want some FRESH blood in the studio and some interesting marketing ideas then feel free to contact me at DarwinianTheory@gmail.com.

Well you have to try and sell yourself somehow.. and my legs arn't good enough to make me a convincing lady of the night just yet!

::RANDOM FACT::
Nadia from Big Brother 6 was a BIG bbtoons fan of mine.. also Dan from the same year.

We'd like to hear from you.
