By Red Mill, I mean Moulin Rouge, that infamous cabaret that ended up romanticized in Baz Luhrmann's musical of the same name.

4 or 5 years ago, during uni lectures, I did a doodle in a sketchbook - Harold Zidler from the film, spouting a catchphrase. This turned into a t-shirt printed for a friend, the image created in Macromedia Flash, JASC Paint Shop Pro and Microsoft Publisher (of all things). Later on, while teaching myself Illustrator, I did a few more characters. Skip forward to today, down that slippery slope; now there are eighteen of them.

I finished a couple of stragglers off this weekend. This is possibly the final update: I do have a vague plan for two more in the future, but they'd definitely be the last ones.

The DeviantArt collection has been brought fully up to date - the Flickr set and example on my portfolio will follow at a later date. I'm going back to learning catalogue layouts now...

p.s. Did you notice that this site's header and footer have been changed? Yep, that was snuck in last week.
