Can Nintendo just give me a job already

Here's a selection of all the promotion I designed and printed for an event in Maidstone, Kent next Saturday - The Big Draw, part of the Campaign for Drawing running throughout the country this October.

A group of us are running the event at the excellent local community café, Stepping Stone Studios, but it's not about us; it's about getting as many people as possible, any age, background or ability, to shed their inhibitions and discover the joy of putting pen to paper.

To this end, we're covering the walls of the café, and they must be crammed with drawings by the end of the day. The aim is to rub the evil words "I can't draw" from common speech!

If you're local (and even if you're not) just pop in and contribute!

"Can everyone just LEAVE PAUL DACRE ALONE?!?!!!?"

I think I shall start doing these cartoons on a weekly basis rather than the immense pressure of doing one-a-day.

 Lots of drawings coming in the next couple of months!

July Drawing Dump

I've literally just got a box of odd drawings I've done over the last two months that I'm going to dump here. All over your new carpet.

These four are illustrations to accompany some covers I've made in my bedroom. They're crap. Check them out here

This is a drawing I done for Anthony Bergen of Dead Presidents fame. You don't know what Dead Presidents is? Now you do. It's a really good resource for anything Presidential. And here's some odds and ends:

Hmmmmmmm here's a crap study of Amaury Duval's Birth of Venus for some mate's theatre production (with rough ideas nicked from the greats, mainly Egon Schiele) and a quick self-portrait. I've just come back from Berlin and had my head stuffed with expressionist painting and woodblock. Yum

Retro games!

It's been a while since I updated this - the main reason being simply that I did set up a website with a dedicated domain name, but it was quite expensive. Anyway, I have been doing work, mainly in relation to my job. Here's some little highlights of my personal work though, basically mucking around with some old video games. The last Metroid one is essentially a failure that has been sitting around for too long, and I wanted to get it finished or something.



I've also got a dedicated cartoon thing going on Facebook and Twitter - a cartoon a day, and I'll put a link up to this later. PEACE
