Day 140!

The next Andrex Ad came out last night, and it's sold me the toilet roll at least, how random, anyway here it is:

I worked on the bright and bold party. The dog searching through some records by the DJ, and another dog in the background taking photos, which carries onto the next shot, taking a photo of the dog's singing :)

Last couple of posts have been lacking pictures, as I haven't taking the photos, and left the drawings at home today! eep! but I'll will upload the drawings I did on those days tonight or tomorrow hopefully, and obviously I need to put up today's when I do them :)
