If anybody's reading...

...my blog's now here.

Busy busy

Well I've been a bit busy lately transmogrifying myself into a web designer as well as an illustrator, and you can see the results here

Consequently I haven't been doing a great deal of illustration, which is starting to get to me a bit. Time for some intensive drawing methinks. I've got quite a lot of stuff I haven't been able to show or haven't got round to uploading yet though, so here's a load...

I did some illustrations for KnockBack magazine, a comic strip and an illustration to go with an article about the effect of the internet on relationships and thus the relating evolutionary results.

Initial ideas...





eventually settling on a different idea...



and



and this is the comic strip, based on an anecdote I was given...



I was also asked to help out designing a logo for the delightful Pure Filth events party type company thing. But they didn't like my ideas. I think because they're not bad enough. Or something. They're silly. Having said that, they might be better simpler...









Finally the background for a yard sale poster I designed gives me great pleasure (not so much the finished product though)...



and a little illustration I did to go with an email to try and get some work with a magazine called Bearded. It hasn't paid off yet.

Like it's your birthday...

Michael Jackson vs Prince

I think I got a bit more excited about having made this t-shirt for a Michael Jackson vs Prince night than anyone did seeing it, but I won the costume prize in my mind.



...the back...



Oh, and in the spirit of y'know, enterprise or whatever it is I'm supposed to be doing with my life, I now do custom t-shirts as well as sketchbooks. If you so desire...

Pastel colours...

Here are some things I've done. I've done some other things too. But I can't show them to you. Mmmmmmm.....mystery.

This is some bunting. I bunted the f*ck out of a Schmonday once and became briefly infatuated with the aesthetics of bunting. Very briefly. You had to be there.



This was an idea I had on the theme of smoke and mirrors. It's slightly premature, I don't think it's even developed nipples with a specific purpose yet. Something to do with smoke coming from things that rely on mirrors. Like a camera for example.



Yeah.



An entry for a competition to illustrate some saccharine little quotes. I was going for quick and messy. It took hours, obviously.

Bits of jetsam

Well I'm quite enjoying getting back into this sketchbook thing. It's reopened old roads full of paint and bits of jetsam. Just sticking things to paper is nice. I particularly like the square of faintly striped paper in the first one, which is just the inside of a pack of pencils. You might need to see it in person. Might just be me too :)
