This was painted in january 2011, in photoshop to A4 size. I have used a horse before in this position (1 2 3) but it is always funny,but this time I have added some lipstick! The 6 key keyboard and hay sandwich add some fun.

This was painted in photoshop in 2011 to A4 size. As can be seen in my
work I like to place animals in mundane human situations. An office is a
good location and I'm sure I will visit this theme again. Its fun to
have such unlikley animals in these roles, such as the Hippopotamus with
dress and bright red lipstick and the horse typing at the six keyed
keyboard, with her hay sandwich to hand. In the background some office
gossip is in progress. An image like this is drawn on the computer, then
painted in a traditional, layered way similar to conventional painting
media.
This was painted in photoshop and completed in oct 2010. It is a follow on I suppose from the animal underground commute illustration done a few years ago. Some of the animals are the same,in particular the crab and snake, but there are a few additions that were noty in the previous one. Doing all the packs on the shelves does take time, even using cloning,etc tools in digital painting.

This image is painted in photoshop at a size of 29cm x 21cm. It is a
follow on from the animal underground commute painting done the year
before, by picturing animals doing a very human mundane activity, and
features a collection of animals enjoying their weekly supermarket shop.
The animal customers featured are elephants (and daughter), Lion, Cow,
Bull, crab (carrying stuff on his shell as on the tube journey picture),
Lioness and son, Pig, Snake, Bear, Crocodile, Zebra, Rhinoceros,
Hippopotamus, Tiger, Giraffe, and Monkey. Horses are again featured
serving the customers at the checkout as in the supermarket horse
illustration, else where on this site.
Producing all the packs can be a bit tedious, even using photoshop,
but it is important for the setting. Also for the setting it is
important to have boards with prices around, so time was spent creating
graphics that look like numbers but are not recognizable as numerals.
