a bogan!

Bogan* (pronunciation is similar to the ending of ‘slogan’), is an Australian and New Zealand slang. The term is usually used to describe a person who is perceived to be from a lower class background or of someone whose limited education, speech, blothing, attitude and behaviour exemplifies such a background.

I had been wanting to draw this for quite some time now…so here they, the bogans
I am really, really proud of how this pair turned out, though I’m kind of wishing I had put a durry in one of the sheila’s hands however I'm glad I decided she should be wearing tracky-dacks and ugg boots.
The bloke is drinkin’ VB -shudders- such horrible, horrible stuff. It’s one of the few beer’s I am unable to stomach. Though seeing as he is a bogan, I thought it was fit for him to have a VB in his hand…we all know that Hahn would be a little too ‘classy’ for him.

Whilst I was drawing this 30 minute sketch and colour, I pretty much listened to Area-7’s song No Body Likes a Bogan the whole time ^^ the song ain’t half bad, it kinda grows on you after a while…
