S and I were at a party, and a close close close friend of S snapped a pic of us, mentioning that we look like a gangster and moll couple. So I just had to do a sketch.<\/p>\n

I had much shorter hair when the actual photo was taken, so I’ve lengthened it to how I look now. I prefer the wild Einstein look.<\/p>\n

S has just opened in a musical she’s in. It’s Ben Elton and Queen’s WE WILL ROCK YOU, the South African production. (Tonight – Rock into future with record breaking musical<\/a>.) <\/p>\n

I’ve now seen it twice — once on the first preview, and once on opening night, and I’ll definitely be back to see it more times.<\/p>\n

I’m not a fan of musical theatre, but this is real kick-ass rock’n’roll. (It’s NOT a Queen tribute. It’s got a story and all that. Weakish story. But hey… it brought some tears to my eyes both times.)<\/p>\n

S plays two of the larger small parts, and she’s also understudying two of the leads. I hope she gets to go on every now and again in a lead role. I’ve heard her sing the songs in the privacy of our lounge a good couple of dozen times, and this gal of mine can sing!!!<\/p>\n

I’m enjoying doing flat colour in these sketches. When I was working on the palmtop, flat colour was much trickier, and almost impossible to do accurately.<\/p>\n

Alias Sketchbook Pro 2.0 allows all sorts of layers, and that’s very useful when you’re doing flat colour.<\/p>\n

Drawn using Alias Sketchbook Pro 2.0 on a Toshiba Tecra M4 tablet pc.
