        Posted at 3:22 am by gatf, on July 21, 2019

        Meet Uncle Bert, a garden gnome of some year’s experience…

        He was created in Autodesk Sketch on an iPad Pro, using an Apple Pencil.

      • The Emmet and Heath Robinson Railway Company.

        Posted at 1:57 pm by gatf, on April 4, 2019
        A rather flamboyant sketch, entirely from imagination, but inspired by the art of Messrs Roland Emmett and William Heath Robinson. The odd thing is that nonsense like this from imagination takes a really long time to do – over two weeks of drawing time went in to this.

      • Floral Art With Impact, or the Magenta Magnolias

        Posted at 8:49 am by gatf, on March 10, 2019
