I had a little batman head. I had a little hellboy head. They wanted to be together, so i came up with a vaguely plausible title and um.. yeh

 Heres a few more colourful people who walk up and down Beaufort street. Some are straight from my imagination, but all inspired nonetheless by the wonderful characters you find in Mount Lawley.

sketches of random passers by, ppl waiting at the bus stop and ppl having coffee at Exomod Cafe in Mount Lawley.

From memory, the large chap with the akubra was waiting for about 20 minutes at the bus-stop one sunday morning. The rest are a mish-mash of people I saw during the week.

So I recently signed up for a Character Design course at Schoolism with Stephen Silver . We had to do some sketches of Fat Joe and these were my submitted final pieces.

This was the first assignment:

You are to design a concept sketch of Fat Joe based on the play, The Long Voyage Home. Take it as far as you like.

Description:
SCENE—The bar of a low dive on the London water front—a squalid, dingy room dimly lighted by kerosene lamps placed in brackets on the walls At the far end of the bar stands Fat Joe, the proprietor, a gross bulk of a man with an enormous stomach. His face is red and bloated, his little piggish eyes being almost concealed by rolls of fat. The thick fingers of his big hands are loaded with cheap rings and a gold watch chain of cable-like proportions stretches across his checked waistcoat.
