In honour of Heroes

Me and Tim finished watching Heroes today in it's entirety.  This left me feeling empty! I started sketching and it began to resemble Claire so I rolled with it!  I scanned it in and painted it from scratch in Photoshop to break my bad habit of cleaning all line art in flash (I find it much smoother and quicker that way).  So here we are.  Claire Bennett from Heroes!

"The Snowman" and me - Thanks for the memories Raymond Briggs

Every year I watch Raymond Briggs' "The Snowman".  Its the beautiful tale of a boy who builds a snowman, it comes to life and they have a magical adventure together.  I was staring at the dvd case wondering what to sketch, before I knew it I had a doodle of myself with him. I scanned it and went nuts colouring. I tried to capture the feel of the picture but give it a Nic twist with more sharp/bold edges.

An "Ugly" Self Portrait.

After working on the FANTASTIC Comedy Central show 'Ugly Americans; for all of season one, we drew ourselves in the style of the show - It was such a blast!  Here is Victorian Blonde Nic and Crazy Demon Nic. Enjoy :)

Thanks to Timothy Martin, Family Guy, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Lion King and The Aristocats for all giving me the creative spark. Cheers :)

A few oldies

Most of this artwork is from the college years.  I wanted to throw it up as I find looking at old pieces gives birth to new ideas :)
