A little bit more on the airship theme, after this one it’s a more serious bit of watercolour work on the agenda So, following on from this piece I wondered how the airship would work if it were included into a children’s book, the only way to find out was to rough up a page from the book

The Good Ship Steorra

Found in a drawer recently, the a somewhat crumpled leaflet advertising flights to the stars on board the Steorra.

Mainly completed in Photoshop though the airship is watercolour

You have to wonder

What happens inside your head at times, for March the theme of the month that I’m working on is Airships. For some reason my mind turned this into Hairships, which are of course ships which carry hair to wig makers :-/ well what else would they do with it.

Any sailor worth is salt will tell you, if you want to make some easy money go to the Willwurd Isles, the daily routine was to sail round the various ports basking all the while under the Caribbean Sun collecting bags of hair from various suppliers. Once the ship was full of hair you’d take them round to Howlee Wigs where you’d be paid large amounts of cash just for bringing in the hairship.
