Today I’m taking you on a tour of the ‘Tough & Lucky’ illustration sheet… It came to life as one of the regular Patreon rewards — every two months I create a ‘flash-sheet’ style page of illustrations, and share it as a printable artwork, and as a outline-only colouring sheet.

I really poured a lot of whimsy into this page, and also a tonne of detail! All up, this page took me about a week to complete.

It features a lot of recurring themes from my visual language — winged horses, mud crabs with rambling roses, mushrooms, cacti, naked ladies reclining in a vase of daisies… just the usual.

There’s a few new details in there – a butterfly-winged frog, and a cowgirl rose – which were a nice segue into my old love of taking traditional tattoo imagery and making it into something a little… different.

I love this print for it’s intensity and detail, it’s something you can look at for a long time. Only available for a few more days, here.
