Future Worship

Just found this lying around on my memory stick - it's a cartoon I did recently that wasn't published, but here it is in all it's un-funny glory:

Ting Tings

Today I had another go at illustrating using some inspirations I've found.
Here's my attempt at Katie White from the Ting Tings - since I loved this dynamic Flickr image:
