I'm thankful to all who hired me. I enjoy it and they're pretty nice and straight forward: I get photo, I return drawing. bish bash bosh. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Photos I get are usually low-res, sometimes a couch or chair leg might be obscuring the animal, which if not too obstructing can be removed by me. Sometimes the lighting is poor, sometimes a background too distracting. My job therefore is to use that imperfect spur-of-the-moment photo, remove the background (though not necessarily) and turn it into something more permanent, more focused. Pretentious diatribe over, just look at the friggin' dogs. </div>

A couple of portraits from last year, both in black and grey ink. One cartoony in style and one a bit more straight laced, though faces weren't exaggerated at all in either. Something to think about for yourselves.</div>

There are a few things that I can't show yet, but here's a quick blast of recent activity carried out under my "Paul Draws Pets" side-project. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pauldrawspets/">https://www.facebook.com/pauldrawspets/</a><br />
<br />
So, a quick run through of how it works. You, the customer message me with an image, I use it to create a fabulous pet portrait and send it to you through the post. The portraits are made with black and grey ink, sometimes pencil.<br />

This image was to be published online by BBC Sport if England won the 2019 Rugby World Cup, sadly this was not to be because as you all know, England unfortunately failed to beat South Africa in the final.<br />
<br />
...And even more sadly for me, the image remains irrelevant. Thankfully I can show it off regardless.<br />

2003 World Cup-winning squad, with expressions<br />

The image features current head coach Eddie Jones, eyeballing the 2003 coach Clive Woodward who is posing as a doorman alongside Martin Johnson. Mike Tindall and Jony Wilkinson pause from cocktail slurping to gape from the doorway at the (not) new champions headed by Owen Farrell holding the Webb Ellis Cup. Behind Owen you should, if I've done my job correctly, be able to spot Harlequin star Kyle Sinckler and Sale Shark's Tom Curry ...Sale is just down the road from my house, where I drew this. So there's that. </div>

Fuzzy Duck, a Media City (Salford, UK) - based design house hired me to work on a project for Manchester United Football Club. Exciting, not only because my hastily-typed stream of emails actually yielded a client, but of course Manchester United probably rank in the top 3 of organisations that I can now claim on my CV. ...The other two being Microsoft and Huawei, however whilst those two global giants got unpolished, scribbly storyboards, (the Microsoft one's in particular being mostly unused by the client) this footy project is something I can show off without cringing.<br />

It's not what you know, it's who (whom?). Last year, a good friend of mine passed my details on to his mother Joy, who is very active in raising awareness of the infamous neurodegenereative disease, Alzheimer's as well as being afflicted herself. Looking for someone to redesign a character, yours truly was drafted in.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my original interpretations</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of Joy's funky yellow character.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Since then it's been a gloriously wild ride at Paul Loudon Illustration, with postcards, a children's school book and an activity pack to work on. The opportunity to collaborate with Emma Smith (age UK Salford) and Dr. Joy Watson has been a true highlight of my career, culminating in a book launch in which I felt like a minor celebrity. Kids from local schools were there and did a great job entertaining the crowd with shadow puppets. <a href="https://www.ageuk.org.uk/salford/about-us/news/articles/2019/mr-alzheimers-goes-to-toyland-launch/" target="_blank">LINK</a></div>

I was hired by the hottest talent in horror film-making Bob Pipe to create storyboards for "A Christmas Pardon." One of 24 short "Deathcember" horror flicks due to be unleashed this year in the run up to Christmas.<br />
<br />
From the official page (<span style="color: white;"><a href="http://www.deathcembermovie.com/index.html" target="_blank">LINK</a></span>):<br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">"Advent – the season of joyous anticipation. Remember the excitement you felt as a kid every December, being allowed to open up a new door of your Advent calendar 24 mornings in a row, eagerly awaiting the surprise that would be in store for you that day? </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The anthology DEATHCEMBER aims at bringing such memories back to life and making them a part of today‘s genre legacy, but with a twisted edge; serving as a cinematic Advent calendar full of horror, thrills and black humor. </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">A collection of 24 short films that take a look at the dark side of the festive season. 24 films by international directors with the most diverse ideas, styles and narrative formats; linked by short animated segments that deal with the Advent calendar itself. Behind each door, a new, viciously entertaining story awaits... </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Will you dare to open the doors?"</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></strong></span></span>
Bob's film is a particularly grim medieval affair depicting the pitiful town ogre as he is lead to the stake for a good old fashioned burning, in front of the baying unwashed masses.<br />

Director Bob Pipe won critical acclaim a couple of years ago with The Monster, a short horror flick choc full of style and wit; a show stopper at several major festivals including Frightfest, London. So it was with huge gratitude that I took on this project for him, plus I know the guy ...so there's that. Have a look at his other projects: <a href="http://mrbobpipe.com/" target="_blank">LINK</a>.<br />

I was fortunate a few years ago, to create illustrations for a documentary about The Ealing Club and the birth of British blues music. The club was host to a motley crew of young performers whose names you might recognise; Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, not to mention blues luminaries such as Alexis Korner.<br />
<br />
Fast forward a few years after my commission, the owner of the club (who got to know my work through the documentary) hires yours truly to illustrate, in a very similar style, a map of Ealing to go on a souvenir tea towel.<br />
<br />
The map goes wider, featuring Ealing as a whole which works in conjunction with a tour, hosted by associates of the club. The tour takes in key locations, points of interest and places where famous people used to live or loiter around, doing stuff. Highlights include Jim Marshall's amp shop and the place where Deep Purple bashed out one of the greatest albums of all time.<br />
<br />
I tweaked a few of the portraits for my Instagram, because I feel that they are too good just to be tiny points on a map. They also all exist on paper, so you know ...hire me for portraits.<br />

The time has come to put a cover all up on this thing!<br />
<br />
Essentially a summing up of "Alice and the Invaders From Wonderland" issue #1, a large part of which is set in the woods where our heroes go up against some vicious "Bandersnaches." Alice's action pose was something sketched several years ago, which author Bret M. Herholz dug out and suggested for a cover. I came up with the idea of adding the rest of the crew. Framing from inside the creature's mouth was a last minute thing, just to fill the top and bottom of the page.<br />
<br />
Remember that bit in Jaws III where the camera is in the shark's mouth, looking out? Nope? Oh c'mon! Well, I won't force you to go through that shit again.<br />

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f9cb9c;">I heard that Hollywood are planning a live action remake of Disney’s <i>The Little Mermaid</i>, so I was inspired to create my own image of how it should look.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f9cb9c;">Given that humans deposit tons of plastic into the ocean every year, it no longer seems fitting that the villain of the movie should be an octopus sea-witch named Ursula. Let’s face it, this no longer cuts it as a viable threat to the main character or her lobster buddy Sebastian, whom I have cynically done away with. Furthermore, Ariel strives to become human in the story and I wonder if she still feel this way given that we are the enemy.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f9cb9c;">On a side note, those bikini-shells are probably a bit small now that she’s older.</span></div>
