New Banner

I have just looked at my blog and realised I have had the same banner for ages, probably since 1907. I'm sorry for being so dull! I will do a new one soon, until then please accept my sincere apologies

Hammerheads!

Here is a little sneaky peek at what I have been up to recently, I have been working on a project for a shop/gallery/cafe in Brazil called Onze Dezesseis. I am really excited about working with Luiza and the other guys there. Lots more drawings and stuff to come from this project but for the time being, heres some hammerhead shark illustrations. 

You should have a looksy at what Onze Dezesseis are up to and like them on facebook yes!

Ninja Girlfriend

Delta Sleep Album Cover

Soooooo I have been working on this album cover artwork for the fabulous Delta Sleep and their new EP Management, its pretty much almost finished, here it is... tada!

This is the front and back cover and spine still got a few little tweaky bits to do but I am really excited about it and could keep it secret no longer! Look at the little guy on the mountain...Hai little guy!

Anyway you should check the band out they are smashing, this is a demo version of 'So Say We All'

You can see more about them here and you should like them on facebook yah!

Oh yeah, completely forgot to post about this!

So me and Ben did the cover for Curious magazine a while back and what with finishing my degree and having to work I forgot all about it. They wanted us to collaborate and mix our work up together. Squirrels needed to be included which suited me as I am rather fond of those little overlooked bushy tailed gems of the woodland world.

Here is the front and back cover yah!

There's interviews and other stuff inside. You can see more of Bench's work here or here, you should have a look, he's a bleddy good guy.

I am doing stuff I promise

Hello!

So I haven't posted for a while but I am still trying to find time to draw, whilst juggling a full time job and a pesky cat and dishes and a whole other load of things that get in the way of fun stuff. I miss being a student! Anyway working on a cool project at the moment it involves mountains and giants and other good things, here are some mountains for you, more mountain based imagery to follow soon! Fanks! 

60 followers

60 followers hooray, I am a blog pied piper, to thank you all for following me I will do some sort of prize draw give away type thing (this will happen when I have managed to get some kind of control over the chaos that is my life at the moment) anyway Fanks!

Sad Circus Resin Toys

Here are some photos of my Sad Circus bear resin toys, beautiful photography by the fabulous Paul Mounsey you can see more of his work here

Little Book of Hell

For the other half of my major study I decided to face two of my biggest fears, being serious and drawing people! The illustrations for 'The Little Book of Hell' are based very loosely on Dantes Inferno, here are some of the pages! I spent a lot of time considering the layout and how I could use space to help the book flow in a interesting way.

Sad Circus Illustrations

Some of the Sad Circus illustrations from my major study, circus' are flipping sad! 

 

Its only another Handmade Arcade you lucky devils

So the last Handmade arcade was a flipping splendid day with more good stuff than you could ever dream of, good art, good people, good music, good food... all round good!

We had a lot of fun and it was really nice to venture out of Plymouth with our stuff, here are some photos of our stall. (all photos from the No Guts No Glory guys) 

 

Anyway, this Saturday (the 5th of May) is the next event, and its looking like its going to be another treat, full of awesome goodies if you want to see a sneaky preview of who and what will be there, check out the Handmade Arcade Blog. Also while your at it have a look at the No Guts No Glory website here and also LIKE their facebook page dammit!  

Colourful Hell

Can Hell be colourful? I'd like to think so! I am faffing around with the layers of hell, it was all looking a little miserable and dark so I added some colour is that allowed? This circle is Limbo, based on something I read which said;

"... they lacked hope for something greater than rational minds can conceive"

This was the depressing version, colour definitely brightens Hell up a bit!

Sad Circus

Drawing a sad circus... its pretty sad, think my heart may have just broken

and finally some kind of slightly rubbish website

Today I built a website, its not great at the moment but Rome wasn't build in a day and apparently neither is my website. It needs a lot of work but have a look and feel free to give me some feedback yes!

Click HERE to see it in all its unfinished glory!

Urban Bandits

So finally, a year after initially creating him the Urban Fox Bandit is multiplying. After much faffing I have now made a mould and have starting casting Bandits in resin. These little loveable rouges are well known for their mischievous and anti social behaviour so they will be limited to an edition of 50 all numbered and each comes with their own little box. If you want one which you surely must, you can get one here.

Bullfinch Badges!!

Bullfinch badges... Hoorah!

Here are some little laser cut, hand painted wooden bullfinch badges, they are pretty adorable with their little pink bellies, now available in my etsy shop here

No Guts No Glory

Helllooooo

The wonderful people at No Guts No Glory are launching their new monthly art and makers fair Handmade Arcade in Exeter on Saturday the 7th of April. Its going to be full to the brim of fabulous goodies. It will be a day full of joy and wonder with not only loads of illustration goodies, tshirts, prints etc but also live music and tasty food. No Guts No Glory are also relaunching their shop, so its all very exciting. I will be sharing a stall with some of my lovely fellow Plymouth illustrators, Lize, Kelly, Isaac, Emily, Big Ben and Orange Ben. You should be there, why wouldn't you be?!

Houses

Here are some houses, that's it really!

Hell Guy

As an extra for this project to go with the book I have made with Bench I made a little resin figure. He is based on the 'Second Layer of Hell' illustration. Bless him floating around in Hell, poor little fellow.
