Why so sketchbook?

So this week hasn't been all that great for proper sketchbook work. I think it's because of college work and having to put more creativity into it because of the brief. Like normally there's a set thing to do to get the grade like Research a topic, develop your version of their final product then produce it digitally. Now don't get me wrong I try to be as creative as I possibly can and put as much illustration in my work as possible but it's still a set amount of creativity while this project they've given us a sketchbook and said "In two weeks time you have to design an all over print for a shoe but for now you need to fill a sketchbook with work based around the client you want to do it for." This is the best thing ever. It's mixed media so I'm doing stuff I normally don't get a proper chance to do and it's working really well and getting new ideas flowing for other side projects. But it does mean I don't spend as much time on the sketchbook as I would like because I'm putting all of my energy into the other one. I think I'll put things from that up as well as the original sketchbook because the work in their is getting me stoked and I think other people would enjoy seeing it.


So anyway this character is another lizard but more of an attack on every moron who is doing a stencil of Heath Ledger's joker. Maybe in 30 years when noone can remember it so well it might work better, but seriously, it's almost as lame as wearing those VOTE FOR PEDRO t shirts.
