ROCK CLIMBING HARNESS ILLUSTRATIONS

2/18/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
A collection of rock climbing harness illustrations. This collection has harnesses for sport and tread climbing.
Climbing enthusiasts know that having the right gear is essential for safety and performance. My vectorillustration showcases three different climbing harnesses, each tailored for specific climbing styles. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced climber, this guide will help you choose the perfect harness for your needs. I drew the first harness and then just kept adding gear to the rack, climbing it like that, the more you do it, the more gear you seem to accumulate. 


1. Basic Climbing HarnessThe first illustration features a simple climbing harness—ideal for those new to the sport or looking for a minimalist option. This harness provides the essential support needed for safe climbing, ensuring comfort and security on the wall.
2. Sport Climbing HarnessThe second illustration upgrades the setup with rock climbing quickdraws attached to carabiners on the gear loops, making it perfect for sport climbing. This setup allows climbers to quickly and efficiently clip into bolts while ascending, offering a streamlined experience for tackling challenging routes.
3. Trad Climbing HarnessFor those venturing into traditional (trad) climbing, the third harness is fully equipped with nuts, carabiners, and a nut tool. This setup is essential for placing and removing protective gear while scaling cracks and multi-pitch routes, providing the versatility and security needed for trad climbing adventures.

The phrase "fork in the road" is a metaphor for life's pivotal moments, where choices shape our destinies. In my latest art series, I delve into this concept, exploring the symbolism and emotional depth of these crossroads. This collection of artworks invites viewers to reflect on their own journeys and the decisions that have led them to where they are today.

Customizable cricket lovers six birthday

Cricket themed birthday card
Today I needed a birthday card for someone who loves cricket, they were turning sixteen. I looked all over town but could not find any cricket-themed cards. They are obviously available online, but I needed it fast. So I sat down and made one myself. I think it came out well, so I uploaded it to zazzle as a card. The reason I choose zazzle for this kind of thing is that hey have great customization tools. You will be able to change the child's name and age on this card to suit your needs. I chose six, because sixes are an element of the game of cricket. You can add the birthday person's name for the cricket ball and their name to the bat.  You can also move this design onto a host of other products. Here is it on a tshirt...

Cartoon animals Rock climbing

Recently I have been drawing a few animals rock climbing. I love climbing but I can't pay my bill doing it. So it is really nice to get creative with climbing art. While my drawing are mostly just fun cartoon I do make sure that I get things technically correct, no reverse clipping etc. I have drawn sloths, a giraffe, penguin, chimpanzee, goat, fish and octopus rock climbing. If you would like to see any other climbing animals feel free to leave a comment.
cartoon penguin rock climbing, bird rock climbing
Penguin Rock climbing. This was my first animal rock climbing design. A cute penguin. This penguin is climbing at an indoor gym. The bowline on his climbing rope looks a little loose, I hope this bird can fly.
Picture, sloth, rock climbing, sloth climbing,
This design has provent to be my most popular of this series. Probably because people love sloths. This cute sloth is taking it's time on a climb. The sloth has a climbing helmet, harness and rope. Imagine belaying a sloth, it would take all day.
Picture, rock climbing, goat, mountain goat
A mountain goat rock climbing. Obviously goats are great climbers and sure footed on rocky cliffs. This one is roped up with a climbing harness on a big wall climb.
Picture, sloth rock climbing, cute sloth,
This is another rock climbing sloth. This one is aimed more at younger children who enjoy climbing and bouldering. A simple vector sloth with a knitted fabric texture.
Picture, capybara, capybara rock climbing,
You can't do an animal series without a capybara, people love these cute animals. So here we have a capybara rock climbing. This cute rodent is looking confident as it climbs a cliff face with a climbing helmet and harness on.
Picture
Picture, giraffe rock climbing, rock climber,
I think a giraffe rock climbing is a really funny concept. They are pretty tall and have no need to scale cliff faces. This giraffe is wearing a climbing harness and helmet.
Picture, monkey climbing, ape climnig, monkey rock climbing, chimp, chimpanzee,
This is my personal favoroute of this desies. A black and white illustration of a chimpanzee rock climbing. The chimp is pulling a funny face and looking relaxed on a overhung sport climb.
Picture, sloth rock climbing, sloth rock climber,
I could not resist making more sloths rock climbing. This one is another black and white design. climbers often hold the rope in their mouth when clipping, this funny sloth has the rope looped around it's tongue. This sloth is hanging from one arm on the steep rock climbing crag.
Picture, fish rock climbing, rock climber,
All these designs are a little silly, but this one is probably the most ridiculous, a fish rock climber. This rock climbing fish is climbing out of the ocean, being belayed from under water.
Picture
This is the same capybara climbing but this time it has the text EL CAPY-TAN. A cute capybara climbing El Capitan.

Octopus rock climbing, imagine having eight legs / tentacles to help with your climbing. This is what that might look like.

Lock your bike

2/10/2022

Today I headed to the shops on my bike and forgot my lock. I left it where I could see it, but it was stressful, constantly glancing at it, hoping it was safe. It wasn't safe, I should know I have had my share of bikes stolen over the years. I decided to make a lock your bike tshirt design. Making this will help me remember my lock, I stared at the screen all morning, thinking about bike security. 

I decided to make two designs from this artwork. The first one, Lock yer steed, is more playful and fun. The second one is much more formal and could be worn in place of a suit in any formal situation, perfect for business meetings and weddings.

Lock yer steed. Protect your bike from thieves.

THE Rime of the ancient mariner

2/3/2022

0 Comments

 
"For me music is often a gateway to learning. My first two cassette purchases were "Somewhere in time" by Iron maiden, which I quite liked and the epically disappointing Van Halen "1984". I know that 1984 was popular, but I worked hard for my money and that album was not for me. So Iron maiden got quite a workout on my stereo. Somewhere in time grew on me.  Next I got "power slave". Which I consider to be the greatest album by Iron maiden. While somewhere in time had me learning about Alexander the Great, Power slave had the epic "The rime of the ancient mariner". That was years ago, but it stills rings in my head to this day.   

​The rime of the Ancient Mariner is a poem the Samuel Taylor Coleridge. I have drawn a couple of artworks inspired by it. 

The first I drew a few years ago. In the poem the Mariner, who kills the albatross, has the bird hung from his neck. For this design I drew it the other way around. I don't' know why, it was too long ago.
picture, rime of the ancient mariner,
Albatross with a human skull tied around its neck.
Today I had another go at this. I did not was to draw the albatross dead or dying so I drew it before the drama begins. The albatross flies above the sailing ship. 
Picture, the rime of the ancient marine,
An albatross flies above a sailing ship. Inspired by the rime of the ancient mariner.
Maybe I will make another of these with a mid poem illustration one day. 

P.S. sorry if I offended any Van Halen fans. This was in the days when we purchased albums without hearing them. It just wasn't my cup of tea.

Retro canned fish pattern

2/2/2022

I had an idea to create a pattern with tinned fish (canned fish). As I went, I made all the elements into individual designs. It was a great process for me as I got faster and faster with my art work. The first design was the sardines, it took me ages. By the time I got to the last one, the salt and pepper shakers, I had a good flow going on. I based the colours on retro advertising photos.
Picture
Tin of sardines retro illustration
Yeah, I know, sardine in tins don't have heads but I just thought it looked better this way. 

Next up I drew a tuna can. I started using some cool half tone brushes that I purchased from true grit texture supply. I love these brushes, however I always vectorize them in inkscape to get the results I want for my art. 

​

Tuna can retro sticker design
The last tin was mackerel. Buy the time I drew this I was in the zone. It was really fun to draw this one.

Now time for some seasoning. A retro illustration of a salt shaker and a pepper shaker.

Octopus Art Challenge

12/19/2021

0 Comments

 
I can't believe that it has been 6 years since I made a blog post. I have been drawing all that time, but I think it is about time I go back into posting some art here.

Last month I took part in inktober. It was brilliant for getting me drawing a variety of things, but I slumped when it was over. I needed a new challenge to push myself forward. To that end I designed to draw eight octopuses in all different styles. I didn't stick to those rules, most of the octopuses I created are cartoons in similar styles to each other. I found a formula that worked and tried to get better and faster and drawing that way. I have now done ten octopuses, and don't seem to be slowing down... 
avocado, octopus,
My first design is half octopus, half avocado. A weird sea creature for people who loves tentacles and guacamole.
Picture
Second is more silliness, half octopus and half hippopotamus. I call tis strange beast a hippoctopus. I have no idea why I drew this, I just thought it was funny.
octopus, drums, drumming, drummer,
This one is my favourite, are artists allowed a favourite? I love it because I just sat and drew it until it was done, no reference photos to help, no coffee top ups, just drawing non stop. This is a octopus playing drums.
octopus sea kayaking,
I have a giraffe sea kayaking design that people seem to love, so I decided to use the same kayak illustration and add an octopus. A funny octopus paddling a sea kayak is the result. It would be really handy to have a few spare arms / tentacles when out on the open sea.
octopus riding a motorcycle
An octopus riding a motorbike. This pink octopus is wearing a motorcycle helmet and goggles. With a spare tentacle to take a selfie.
Picture
This one is a bit different. I was trying out some new brush tools that I purchased from retro supply. This design has a stylised opctopus and the fact that they have 9 brains and 3 hearts. One master brain and one for each tentacle. Pretty cool!
octopus riding a bike,
No we are getting serious, an octopus riding a road bike. This octopus is ready for the tour de France, with eight legs you don't need to cheat. A funny red octopus on a drop bar road bicycle.
Picture, octopus, cartoon, baseball,
A funny cartoon illustration of a pink octopus playing baseball. This octopus is using it's may tentacles to field, pitch and bat all at once.
Picture, octopus, squid, ink, pink octopus, octopus swimming,
An illustration of a octopus swimming under the sea. The pink octopus is squirting ink to protect itself as it swims. A design for anyone who loves octopuses, octopi.
Picture, red octopus, underpants, under wear, octopus wearing underpants,,
I made this one as a joke, a retro stle poster advertising underpants for octopuses. However Sometimes the silliest things do sell and out of all my octopus designs this was the first one to stat selling. I am glad there are other people who have the same sense of humour as me out there.
Picture, cartoon octopus, playing piano, learning paino, octopus playing paino,
This one was epic. I just kept drawing and adding more stuff, An octopus playing a grand piano with an angler fish providing light and a stingray drumming.
