sidest of notes: the photo i referenced for the second bit has been on my camera roll for months. i have no memory of saving this on my phone ever

kind of eyestrain-y but ive been thinking about my tyne tees tv logo character more than i should today. i hope michelle lyons doesnt mind that i got the text off a tumblr account archiving her writing ...

early valentines art because right now ive been thinking too much about how channel and grampian are the most geographically distant of itv companies. also i think my characters for them look cute together : )

NEW THEY NEW THEY IM SO HAPPY youtu.be/Io63tR8u5_4

the most hypersecific parody of singing cows ever made. this is probably nonsensical to those who actually grew up on regional itv (or nonsensical in general) but i had fun

i also made This to celebrate the occasion but its a ridiculous joke and therefore does not deserve its own post

had this idea when i realized that the release of tmbg's flood and tyne tees's first day of broadcasting occured on the same day*. so thats fun

*not the same year of course. quite obvious but i like meaninglessly elaborating on things

today is tww's birthday ! oh joyous day ! background is based on white music by xtc (because swindon is tww territory, maybe? or i just listened to it while making it who knows)

the recent map men book just reminded me of the existance of this video. i know the book mentions the more well known video (seen here: youtu.be/nieNjGjjK_I) but i might actually prefer the one with the jackets (mostly because i REALLY need those jackets)

A Tyne Tees bookmark placed near page 106 of the book "This Way Up: When Maps Go Wrong (And Why It Matters" by the Map Men. Most of the page is composed of a hypothetical argument between Yorkshire and Tyne Tees.

ive been enjoying the map men book so far : ) top notch work from @jayforeman.bsky.social and @markcooperjones.bsky.social (and yes, the bookmark placement was intentional)

i return with more itv related art. well, in the abstract sense maybe...

meridian! 😁

#itv70tember day 30: free day!

ending the month with a massive blunder as i had to repost this because i forgot someone important ! but nonetheless it was a wonderful month overall. so yay !

#itv70tember day 29: local/favorite

im not from britian so i dont have a local itv company to draw today... but i do have favorites ! ive just found out that i find the "minnow" companies more interesting than most : ) so i thought "why not do something experimental this time?"

A doodle of a cartoon puffin and a cartoon rabbit dancing and having fun.

if you think hard enough, these two could be oscar puffin and gus honeybun

#itv70tember day 28: citv

i grew up with pocoyo so of course i kinda had to feature him here since hes technically from citv. i really had fun with this one ! especially with shoehorning bits from past citv logos on the other character itself

#itv70tember day 27: gmtv

one of those days where im just mucking around effects and having fun. i did sorta base the couch and background from their later set design? but other than that i just kinda wanted to do something a bit more garish today

#itv70tember day 26: tv-am

bit eyestrain-y this one! anyway this one's based on wacaday and has pinky punky on it! oh how i would love to hit random people with a pink foam mallet...

Scattered ephemera from the new Look-Out book by Transdiffusion. A tiny evidently homemade Gus Honeybun figurine looks at a paper card featuring him.

the new @transdiffusion.org stuff has arrived at my international doorstep and it was really really good as always :D ! gus seemed to really like the ones he was featured in

#itv70tember day 25: granada

kinda based on the coronation street title sequence, this one. mostly done as (digital) charcoal practice but still pretty fun

#itv70tember day 24: atv

it may not be a saturday but it might be tiswas day ! i sure love messy lines 😁😁😁 though maybe i shouldve added more pie and explosions...

#itv70tember day 23: abc

today's piece is brought to you by the avengers and the colors primary

#itv70tember day 22: rediffusion

ykknow what? this warrants an #itv70 tag too even if this was obviously done in a very late night rush. the "-starts here" thing i got from ready steady go :^) wouldve gotten more visual cues from it but i guess that ddint happen.

YouTube video by Bob the Fish Productions ITV: The Franchise Affair - part 1: 1967

i dont have anything for today's #itv70tember yet but im posing this rn just in case i cant do it today. really really good video this one ! youtu.be/yeguNKG4SLY

#itv70tember day 21: stv/scottish tv

comparing their past branding to their branding now is very fun! i hope this doesnt come across as going against their modern branding (+ maybe portraying the other bit as a curious abstract blob isnt helping my case .. . maybe its a vision of the future?)

#itv70tember day 20: tww

i knowww i knowwww old grainy footage is not supposed to scary but i find the fact that the very last thing tww broadcasted is the camera panning to the fire exit sign... tis a bit interesting to me. also i just love mucking around with effects.

#itv70tember day 19: southern

outfit's based on worzel gummidge. this one ended up with a more melancholic vibe than i first started. stars are cool !

#itv70tember day 18: tyne tees

i think i took a bit of neon inspiration from the tube title sequence? but this one is just moreso just me mucking around with the light brush.

(repost because i forgot the hashtag for some reason...)

bluesky i need an edit button so bad 💔💔💔 i cant keep making all these ridiculous typos

#itv70tember day 17: anglia

really wanted to this one with irl charcoals, but i sadly lack them : ( theres SO MUCH i wanted to do for this one, but i settled on their first b&w ident because of the wonderful lighting
