Impossible Dream
Ink Drink
Black Indian ink is an acquired taste. It's advisable to start with the more gentle flavours, such as vermillion and chartreuse. For real ink drinking novices, orange or lemon yellow might be a good place to start. Some of the browns should be avoided at all costs.

Independent dog
I Didn't have to think of a title for this one.
It was a brief from a well known educational publisher. I have taken out the characters walking their dog in the background, as I considered them superfluous.
Despite the final image size being not much bigger than a postage stamp, they still took some convincing that a picnic scene in the park, depicting sandwiches, drinks, and chicken drumsticks, was impractical and unnecessary.
Intuitive Delivery
One of fourteen recently completed strip illustrations for the United States Department of Health, through Pittsburgh agency Smith Brothers. The images will support an ad campaign offering advice and guidance to couples and single people. The project was commissioned by art director Shuhuei Lee and Paul Hampson drew them in charcoal and watercolour - not a pixel in sight.

Iguana Dog
I firmly believe such experiments should be actively encouraged.
The award for best hybrid at Crufts would be worth seeing.
Word has it that breeders have already begun work involving elephants and birds.

Invincible Dude
As this is the first post on a brand new site, chances are it could and will go wrong- who cares? This is a summer type image to fit the time of year. Drawing by Paul Hampson.

Indolent Dragoon
Welcome to the I-D blog, a showcase for new work by members of Illustrators Direct, one of the UK's most illustrious illustrators' collectives. Image titles may very well consist of two words beginning with the letters "I" and "D"....but then again, maybe not.
This drawing is by Ellis Nadler.
