The Tenth Planet

The Tenth Planet Roughly twenty years ago, my Uncle Richard and I decided to have a go at creating a cartoon series very much like the Far Side by Gary Larson.

Granted, we were trying to fill the void that Gary had left with the announcement of his retirement from the genre, but it was something we had to try. So with my background in art and Richards background in the printing industry, we created The Tenth Planet! From there we self published a small collection of books, calendars and posters. For a few years we flogged our creations at the local maker

s markets, meeting lots of people and generally having a lot of fun doing it. But most things come to an end as did our run together and the enthusiasm we once had for it. Now after all these years, I have rediscovered the liking for drawing that I once had. So with the recent upgrade from paper and pencil to an iPad and Procreate, I am loving the process once again! Procreate matched with the iPad Pro and iPencil makes for a wonderful combination!!! So this time round I will be going alone with the "second orbit" of The Tenth Planet. I will be redrawing old creations as I find my drawing 'Zen thing' again, but I will also be creating new cartoons that you will hopefully find funny. In time I hope to add merchandise items to my website for all to enjoy. Thanks for reading this far and thanks for joining me on this new journey. Blasting off...

Here is a 28 year comparison. I've revamped an old calendar cover I did back in 1998. The original was created in pencil, then inked on a lightbox so it could then be coloured and tweeked in Photoshop. The new version was created entirely in Procreate.
I'm hoping to have this calendar completed by the next Brisbane Illustration Fair. I gotta say I'm pretty happy with it!

I originally drew this little devil back in 1998. I'm pretty chuffed to have given him an update.
