I‘ve finished drawing all the Crank band members and have made a desktop of them rocking out. You get it in Green, Blue, Yellow or Orange, hope you like it. Remember you can also get each character individually here. I’m really enjoying doing all this Poke band stuff, mainly because it’s all nonsense and just a bit of fun, refreshing change to the world of corporate web design!

Hopefully I’ll have time to finish the comic book story of Professor Crankingstein and his monster cock and how that led to the bands creation! More soon…

Yellow:

Currently I’m making some T-Shirts for the Poke band CRANK! Their first gig is coming up soon, not yet official, but likely to be April 16th at On the Rocks. Above is the design for one of them, he’s kind of a cross between Captain Caveman and the Wombles… Don’t really now why? Anyhow’s brighten up your desktop with him by downloading the image here.

Update:

Flying V guitars rule! Download this one here.

Another update:

Rocking out with his cock out… Should probably explain that the name for the band Crank came from the word cranking, meaning crying & wanking simultaneously. Just so you don’t think I randomly drew a cock on it! Download this one here.

More updates:

If you know the Poke band, you might be able to guess which member this is, smashing his guitar to bits. Download the slightly less hairy rocker here.

And finally:

The drummer completes the set! Download Mattias here.

Iposted a while back about the amusement the word cranking was giving us in the office (crying + wanking). Well it amused us enough for the Poke band to call themselves Crank in it’s honor! They’ve got their first gig coming up at the next ClubPub, which I can’t wait for :)

I had a few spare minutes this afternoon so had a go at creating them a logo… Not sure if they’ll like, but if you do, you can download it as a desktop here »

Right I’m trying to get back on track with these weekly desktops. This week’s is actually a box of wine label I’m working on for my birthday party this weekend, so more of this little fella later. But for the time being you can download this desktop here »

Thanks to Nico who’s notebook I scanned for the background.

I‘ve just been reminded buy Made in England reader, that it’s been sometime since I last posted a desktop, just checked and it’s been nearly 2 months… Not quite keeping to my weekly target :( Anyhow’s thanks for the reminder Tess, this one’s for you - Surf’s Up! Download the desktop here »

Update: The colours are starting to annoy now that it’s sitting on my desktop. I’ve done a new version you can see below. Download it here »

A cityscape for this week’s desktop. It’s based on a photo I came across, think it’s a view of New York. Download it here.

Badger Wow! I’m still a bit obsessed with badgers at the moment, following on from the badger drawing experiments 1, 2, a few weeks back. If you like badgers too, download this desktop here.

Some more tiles this week, but this time Lego! I had a go at re-designing lego.com a little while ago, totally bombed in the pitch though. It turns out they’re all sick of the sight of lego and I’d built the whole site out of those little studs… Anyhow on the upside I made all these lego tiles which you can now download for you desktop if you wish. There’s red, white, black, yellow & green, enjoy.

I really liked my lego website made out of lego, below is a screen grab of what it was like (click for larger):

Hot on the heals of last weeks hedgehogs are some more cute critters and shrubbery action. This one is Mr Moustache & the Early Bird - download it for your desktop now. I’m currently designing/illustrating loads of woodland randomness to decorate the office of Roome, Eleanor’s (my old housemate) recruitment consultancy. Should keep me going with new desktops and Threadless t-shirt submissions for a few weeks!

This week’s desktop entitled “Hedge-hogging” has a couple of randy little woodland creatures on there, why? Well why not, I’m sure it’ll liven up desktop background! Download Hedge-hogging here.
