So, this is sort of where the cover of Celtic Rites is going. It's only a sketch and will be changed of course. But I think it's sort of going in the right direction.
I used to read a lot of Tom Sharpe books, one of the few authors I might add that used to make me laugh out loud. I loved the covers that had been illustrated by Paul Sample. They just summed the book up perfectly. So, I'm thinking of trying to get more of the manic happenings in the story into the illustration. The sketch here is a bit too...serene. the book is a lot more chaotic.
I don't know, I'll have to see. I don't know how to fit all the other bits in. But that's what illustration is about. It's finding a way to represent something.
Other news: The video, a slap-dash affair, for Drive-by Love is finished and on Youtube.
You can also view it here on the music page under My Projects.
Like I said, don't expect too much from the video. It is just a collage of USA footage. The main thing was that the song had a face, something to look at.
Don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE as that is free and helps. It helps to for my stuff to get passed around and get others interested. It also helps as it allows me to carry on doing what I am doing, and, therefore, you get to see the stuff. So, if you like it and find it in any way entertaining please do help me along.
No one is going to get rich off the back of this project (or these projects), but that isn't the point. I support lots of content creators simply because I like their work. I like the fact that they are there and do what they do. And if I can help by subscribing, liking and sharing I will because I am grateful for the work they put in...and believe you me it is work!!!
It cost nothing to give something a thumbs up or down, drop a comment or share to Facebook or whatever, merely a second of your time.
Also, COMMENT. If you have anything to say, even if it's constructive criticism, then comment. Or maybe you have an idea for something you think I should try? Then let me know. It may just crop up in some future project.
In the meantime, have a good weekend folks. Be productive and content.
Love Rob
