Pre-production: Clockwise


Clockwise:

I drew the character above out of nowhere the other day. His design is simple! 
Wasn't expecting this to go anywhere, but those who saw him seemed to really engage with his character. "Who is that?" they'd ask. "Where is he?"
So I figured I had to give this guy a story.

Looking at him, he displayed large eyes and ears, so one could assume he'd spent a lot of time in the dark. The small scale of the drawing must have subconsciously rubbed off on my mind, so I saw him as small. Clocks are everyday objects just about large enough to be someones home. He looks honest and innocent, more importantly alone. Isolation and clocks seemed to compliment each other wonderfully! It also kicks up questions of time and working around a coggy environment.

Very quickly I found my mind racing and there were almost too many possibilities in terms of story! Growing mad with ideas isn't easy, but by quietly mulling I managed to finally see some aspects come together. Watch. This. Space.

(T.Rex Live in Concert 1993; David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust; every Led Zep album; Pearl Jam, Ten; Funkadelic, Maggot Brain; Guns and Roses, Appetite for Destruction; Pink Floyd, The Dark Side of the Moon; Foos, Santana, Blur, Stone Roses jOY DIVISION STEVIE NICKS AC/D- okay the list is quite endless.  The (allegedly) cold, hard truth is that the album cover has to reflect the songs perfectly. So after a good week of listening to nothing but the wonderful Will Dunn's unfinished EP, I felt brave enough to begin coming up with ideas.  When in doubt - run to collage. That's my motto. So I did. Results...
