Frankman Design... for when you need the quality and service of a design agency, but at a fraction of the price.

my blog

This is my 'blog' page, or my 'news' page, or 'anything you want to call it' page.

Basically, here is where I'll post things which, I think, you may find interesting about me, frankman design or my work. I can't promise too much excitement, but I'll do my best!

It's amazing what you find when clearing out the loft...

...like an old college project about my cartooning past, called 'My Cartoon History 1982-1992'.

It was a collection of some original illustrations and cartoons that I'd created between those years, which was put together in a year by year catalogue of my ever changing cartoon and illustration styles.

The project book itself is just over 17 years old, and some of the illustrations inside it are nearly 27 years old!

The picture of 'Skull Island' is the oldest illustration in the book. I created this at school for a piece of story writing when I was about 9 years old.

Big hair was all the rage back then (I think?!) which seemed to be a popular theme throughout some of my cartoon characters at the time... so was my need to draw pillar boxes with people inside them!

Who knows what was going on inside my head at that time, but whatever it was, I totally enjoyed my drawings!
