This is an old favourite of mine from about 2002 or 2003, while I was studying advertising at Vega. I drew it with pen, scanned it, and then crudely painted it in an early version of Photoshop. Sadly, those files were lost years ago. Finally, I’ve gotten round to redrawing it. I’ll repaint it in
An old idea that I drew years ago, but then lost and forgot about somewhere along the line. At the request of my dear friend and Facing The Gallows guitarist, James “Flames” Irving, I resurrected him using the Procreate App for iPad Pro and gave him a little upgrade. I’m really quite fond of him…
A simple series of little doodles I very quickly sketched in my notepad during a long and not terribly interesting meeting some time last year (2018). I didn’t think all that much of them, except that it was a fun way to pass a few minutes. But, when I posted a pic on my Instagram,
I’m really attached to these old drawings I did during my final high-school year at Eden College Craighall in 1999. They were part of my Matric Art Portfolio. There were three in the Metallica series and one of a random face I found interesting. One of them I gifted to my dear friend Greg “Gump” Russell. What
I really enjoy drawing critters. They pop into my mind and I need sorta “release” them by banging them out on whatever’s handy; be it a napkin, some notepad or whatever. Sometimes they’re fairly straight-forward animals like these two here. Other times they’re a little more, umm… nuts. Lately, I’ve been trying to draw more,
I like this little guy, even if I do feel a bit guilty for deliberately creating a creature that is always petrified, anxious and paranoid. Convinced he’s always one rapid beat of the heart away from agonising death (or worse), Hypercondramouse’s existence is not a very peaceful one. Poor little guy. To be honest, I’m not
I was sitting at Yamada Sushi with my buddy Dale, when suddenly I burst out laughing, as I do when this kind of idea strikes me. I think there’d been some controversy at the time regarding the actual Dali Lama not being allowed into SA, but it was in my consciousness for some reason or another.
A little toon I drew after a particularly rough deadline recently: A robot that produces emotions on demand. People in advertising might relate… Gord Laws is an award-winning feature writer, copywriter, creative director and voice artist. He also draws a pretty good cartoon, cracks a good joke/brief and is for hire.
A little companion I created for my dear friends Ryan and Jade Neebe. They’re not allowed dogs where they live, so I made them a fish that sits when they tell it to and wags its tail when they come home. Gord Laws is an award-winning feature writer, copywriter, creative director and voice artist. He
A really old toon I drew and painted whilst studying at Vega back in 2003. I’ve aways been really fond of it. Brings back good memories of a time when life was…w ell, simpler. You can tell it’s old; I would never, ever deliberately spell “magik” with a K for “effect” these days. Nor do I
