Work Work Work #3

 

This was a model making project that dates back to the mid 90s. I wanted to make it all atmospheric and industrial and play around with trick forced perspective. Once I had the idea I started with some sketches. Here's a passable one...

Next is a painted sketch of how I wanted the background to look with the dirty, grimy, rusty look reflected in the sky as well as on the bridge.

Here's the finished painted background..

The rusty iron girders of the bridge were made with card and masking tape then painted with acrylics. I made three with each one a smaller size to create the forced perspective. The figure was made with modelling clay and painted with acrylics. I made his head separately from the rest of him so it could be moved in the photos.

 

 Like here... This one was taken from the Daily Doodles on the Mondo Facebook page, hence the joke. The original photos are buried in my loft somewhere...

Work Work Work #1

Like most of us I've done loads of different jobs over the years. 

Here's some work based drawings...

 

This is the corner of workshop in one of the printers I worked at, found in a sketch book. I have no memory of drawing it, must have been in a quiet moment when the boss wasn't looking. 

I think we've all been this guy at some point. It's fifteen minutes before the end of your shift and you're starting to wind down, when your boss give you a new job to do before you go home. They say that it'll be fine it'll only take ten minutes, but they've never done the job before and you know, because you have, that it'll take an hour minimum. The boss dismisses your concern without offering a solution and heads off home leaving you to it, expecting it done in the morning. Your colleagues are all heading off too now and you don't want to ruin their evening. You need the job to pay your bills...

I did have an idea for a quest story that would begin like that. Our central character is left alone in a warehouse, but it's like an infinite warehouse like the one at the end of Indiana Jones. The deeper into it he goes into it the more outlandish and ridiculous it becomes. He would come across the skeleton of a co-worker who disappeared  twenty years ago and end up with him fighting off dragons and dinosaurs on snow capped warehouse racking! I dunno... bit sort of like a Narnia warehouse... What do you think? Is it a fun idea for a story? let us know in the comments below.
