Computer pencils

One of the great things about living in Thailand is discovering products and marketing attempts that you would never believe in the west.

Here is a great example, Thai pencil manufacturer ‘Horse’?? has come up with this gem to keep up with the never ending attacks on traditional stationery products by the high tech giants… the COMPUTER PENCIL!!!! … It’s a normal 2B pencil! They claim that its a ‘good quality pencil’ and it’s good for ‘writing and marking’ ……. perhaps it’s designed to go with an iPad??

FIGHT GAME Tshirt designs

Executive producer and NIKKO MD, Bas Boon, asked us to come up with some more designs specifically for the FIGHT GAME brand. In the tutorial I will ‘talk through’ the designs called liberty….

Starting off with another of Noud van Miltenburg’s great illustrations…

My first decision was to bring in the black line illustration and the colour on separate layers, the original colouring wasn’t the correct hue for this shirt and the flames were […]
