Serving up a laugh!
Freestyle’s Art Director, Dave Slaney has lent his artistic skills to illustrating a new book about the comical trials and tribulations of a fictional tennis club.
Off The Frame – The Lighter Side of Tennis is collection of short stories, poems and sketches,
written by Alistair Higham and Ronald Carter, based around the fictional ‘Long
Shott Tennis Club’ in ‘Spin
Valley
Dave’s witty cartoons feature throughout the book and depict a range of comic characters including ‘Rocket’ Eastwood, the tennis player with canon-ball power (but no backhand), and Cedric Ballsworthy, the partially-sighted umpire, in some very amusing situations.
Dave was thrilled to be
involved in the project, especially as it meant he got to sharpen his pencils and
open his sketching pad once again:
“It’s great to step away from the Apple Mac and get some good old-fashioned hand-drawing done now and then! Alistair and Ronald’s stories and poems are brilliantly entertaining and it’s been a pleasure to bring their characters to life in the book.”
A ‘Meet the Artist’ video
from the Off The Frame website shows
Dave hard at work:
Off The Frame – The Lighter Side of Tennis is available through Amazon and on Kindle now. An Audio book is currently in production and will be available in the coming months.
