Roland's Return

2014-06-27T15:30:00.001+01:00

Hi! i have been away for a long time. Using my website blog mostly but the professional face is not the best place for experiments and I want to get back to doing some sketching and improving my skills so I will try and post those things here from now.

The show goes on.

I don't post much here anymore but for anyone who doesn't look at the new blog I thought you would like to see this.

Speed sketching / scribbling

2013-10-17T17:31:00.001+01:00

Quite out of practice with street sketching but it was nice to do a few pages of these today in the afternoon sun. I like the challenge of catching a pose super fast.

The busy summer has slowed a bit as autumn creeps in but work keeps coming. Above is some concept work. Interesting to work in yet another way. Drawing in isometric view is fun. Other projects have also come and gone including work for SEGA, Vodafone and a couple of corporate clients. No time for sketching but nice to be busy.

Flickr rant

2013-07-25T11:55:00.000+01:00

What the hell did they think they were doing when they changed Flickr - I used to use it a lot to save images of work in progress doodles and such but now it is bloody useless. Can't bear to look at it. Need somewhere new to upload this stuff. Suggestions??

Party

2013-07-24T12:09:00.000+01:00

Big dance party tonight in Utrecht! Here is the flyer I made.

building benches not sketching

2013-07-09T13:41:00.000+01:00

Also been distracted with DIY. Made these two Palette benches :D

Where have I been???

2013-07-09T12:27:00.000+01:00

A very random selection of things I have been working on. I also did infographics work for Philips and Vodafone that I can't share and odds and ends of drawing. As work will probably slow down for the summer maybe more time for sketching and updating the blog???
