Here’s a little sneak peek for all of you to see what we have been up to at Noon-Gun so far this new year. These could all end up on shirts and vests. Some of them will make the cut, some wont, some will get redone again and again. That’s what we go through to ensure you guys only get the best t shirt graphics out there when you’re buying Noon-Gun.

Random thought I had a while back. And by God all the alcohol consumption hasn't dulled my mind enough to forget a gem like this. Or is it a dulled mind that thinks this simple word play is worthy for consumption? Who knows, who cares? Truly South African...well one half at least.

In the interest of balance and keeping our moms happy. Here's the Ying to Evil Cat's Yang. Does it still count if I've been listening to Slayer while doing this? And look at that no rant! Just a reminder, we'll be selling Noon-Gun including our new girls vests at the Labia on Orange this evening.

Once upon a time someone said to me:"Why  bother with vectors? You're hand drawn stuff is fine and anyway you can't compete with the guys who do it really well." Well If I followed that advice I could apply it to the rest of my life and go sit in a corner and die. Fuck that I'm glad I don't listen to people who don't know what's up. If I followed that kind of advice I would still be doing some

So looking at the most powerful pictures of 2011, as I'm sure most of us have by now.I noticed that pepper-spray features right up there with Tsunamis, Hurricanes, war and all that other nasty shit. Seriously who decides these fucking lists? How about a picture of a elephant giving birth or something uplifting for once! Ok now that that's out of the way. I present to you 2011 the year of the

These are my latest illustrations for Jungle Jim pulp magazine....these were challenging , the Punishment and Crime storyline is a pretty grim one and one that hits close to home for me and people I know.(But then again it would be a tough read by any South African that's been touched by crime) . The Assassin was easier and a bit more fun. Job well done to Hannes and the people over at

A little something I worked on for Noon-Gun. These are our swing tickets soon to adorn our shirts. We were originally going to use the image for promotional match books. We might still do just that in the future, but for now it's doing a good job as a swing-ticket. And seeing as everything has been done before and we are all thieves, I hereby divulge my sources.  Yes, yes I am nothing more then a

Putting in 11 hour days at work and then getting home and averaging another 5 to do this t-shirt thing properly. I'm not asking for sympathy just more coffee. (16 hour work days are just a excuse to draw a fucked clock-in guy really) Hell I started this I'm going to take it all the way. Can't wait for the weekend and a chance to go for a session and knock back a few Cold ones.

We spent the weekend in Yzer-fontein. Cool house, cool weather, cool people. This is my tribute. Yzer-Fontein is brutal. I didn't quite nail the writing but hey it isn't something I draw often and I'm still pretty happy with the result. I was listening to the sweet sounds of Boney M on Solid Gold Saturday while drawing this. RIP Motley. Going to miss you, you crazy fur-ball.

VCJ's back at Powell, I can't wait to see what he'll be coming up with in 2012. The work he did at Pocket Pistol Skates the last few years are great. I love the Burger graphic.And how insane is that last board?

 I made this to accompany a story of Love, Drugs and Murder for issue 3 of  Jungle Jim. I got my inspiration from The head of Black Panther propaganda Emory Douglas. It's a cool project you should pick up a copy and support them.

I found these sketches earlier and thought I would post them with the finished thing, This came  from having to fix a pesky tooth and not being on any kind of medical scheme...oh how I miss the student dentists at Guys hospital in London.

Ok so here's a gig poster I did last night with very short notice. All the octopus wants is it's hat back! No points for guessing where the inspiration came from. Hokusai the original Hentai. I wish I had more time on this, I really would have liked to do a hand drawn typeface for this. I might still do that, because I know this is going to bother me.   And if you care about things like what I

No need to always be serious, the French are smelly, according to the British anyway. I thrive on stereotypes. Eventually did this guy based on this doodle, only a year and a bit later.  Getting into the lunch time drawing rhythm again.

Where the Hell have I been? Swamped that's where. Anyway, I was asked to do a gig poster and when the band's names are The Rat Rod Cats, The Pits and Six Gun Gospel, the only thing that comes to mind are Hot Rods and Creatures. The perfect excuse to do a little homage to one of the Masters. New and exciting stuff coming soon I promise.

So I present to you.....A life and death game of Ching Chong Cha, gut busting hot dog eating, a mind bending match of chess and some liver splitting drinking. Enjoy and go check out the show as well, it

I felt compelled to do this quick one after reading the review of this Halloween show. It was a rad night and the bands rocked and shook my bones.

And every time you do something "unsavoury" with a Apple product....he will kill a kitten. Quick thought quick drawing. Enjoy.

Aaah yes. Anwa "the Bird Brain" Dramat. Head of the Hawks special investigation unit. There's nothing to see here folks, just 30 Billion ZARS and some corrupt officials. Carry on watching the rugby.

Just messing around a bit. I wonder I wonder. And While I'm on Cartoon Characters heres a guy I did for work that never got used...I think I did it early 2009. He was going to be called something with Electronics....shocking I know....and some more work comic stuff from the same range that made the cut.

The shirts have been printed and are making their way to some happy (if discontent with the sate of BP) customers. ..... Water based ink man....water based ink. The print came out perfectly , even the finer halftones in the logo.

GiG posters for a gig. They will be printed in Black and white and colour , and pasted up in accordance with the class of people that hang out in drinking establishments....So if you're having a drink in Cape town and you see a B&W one in said establishment....You're in the wrong part of town, unless you choose to be there off course. The Hoi Palloi is coming .

Even this dead Dodo knows these tekkies are seeeek, and that they possibly would have survived the hunt if they were wearing these fresh tekkies.....then again those fuckers probably would have shot them just to get their grubby paws on the shoes. "Meat be Damned we want the Kicks, have you seen these buckles we rocking on our shoes". Anyway I digress.

Here is the final version of my entry for the Makhulu Polana t-shirt design competition . I just toned down the colours a bit , took it form a 5 colour to a 4 colour and added in some more halftones. What do you think. I think I feel like some wors for lunch. One more to follow.

This is a piece I'm going to be submitting for a T-shirt competition, Still need to make a few tweaks, but I thought I would post this version today as tomorrow is Heritage day aka. BRAAI (bbq) day.

Grab your amulets! Show the horns! It's the eye that sees all. Better not be doing something naughty.

Some more style experiments. I've been wanting to do a cute 50's style character for a while now. So I did. Maybe Tommy the tomato head will find his way into or onto something.

Busted, The Blue Bulls Player that may have killed a Metro Policeman while allegedly being drunk. This case is all pretty confusing and intriguing . Hey man, I just draw what's in the news. One Punch from this bruiser probably would have been all the defence he needed. Instead he defended himself by smashing the guy.
