      • The Trustworthy Guardian

        Posted at 10:22 am by gatf, on December 8, 2019

        I’ve been experimenting with anthropomorphic animal characters lately.  This is the latest, “The Trustworthy Guardian”, an Olde English Sheepdog as a Yeoman Warder of the Tower. Doing that uniform was great fun!

      • It’s Finished…

        Posted at 12:43 am by gatf, on December 8, 2019

        Dewhirst Display is a family of five typefaces, inspired by a piece of traditional sign-writing which I saw while out and about.

      • Sketching from. Imagination

        Posted at 12:29 am by gatf, on December 8, 2019

        English town scene, from imagination. This started out as a quick test of some new “brushes” for the Procreate drawing App. Somehow the idea grew and ended up less than quick!

      • The Never Ending Town

        Posted at 12:16 am by gatf, on November 28, 2019

        A different sort of repeating pattern

        Another exercise in seamless repeating patters… or the never-ending town… or Paul gets inspired by M C Escher! Perhaps we should call it Castrovalva?
