Canterbury

Met some of the boys from an awesome band called Canterbury the other night,

you can check them out here.

Anyway, their t shirts weren't so great (shh) so I thought I'd take the liberty of designing one of my own:

Elephantitus

Continuing my animal wildlife themes (and still avoiding more pressing work):

Panda

This is my procrastination from work that actually needs to be done. Gosh I hate research.

My all white panda:

Elk

I have a dream to move to America, build a tree house and live off carrots and nuts.

Feeling the woodlife right now:

Stags

Really into stags at the moment, been contemplating for a while now on getting a huge one down my ribs, I'l let you know how that goes. But for the time being I'l keep myself content by drawing them:

Diamonds

Had a bit of a run in with a bus and a curb last week resulting in the loss of use of wrist ankle and several unwanted bruises. Word of advice: avoid the pitchers of beer in the SU.

Anyway now I am finally healing (and have regrettably picked off most of the scabs) I thought I should finish up the illustrations for the cupidity website:

Unbiased Financial Planning

New commission, designing a logo for the financial company UFA, they wanted a more modern sleek design to represent the new direction the company was taking.

Here's the final logo that will be used on the website and business cards:

Completion

Got a lightbox for my birthday earlier this week, so to celebrate I thought I would finally finish the tattoo design for Dan. Because I have built up the half sleeve piece by piece, having a lightbox makes everything a lot easier and less time consuming (not to mention more accurate). Anyway, the model I use is the "lighttracer2" bit flikery but generally proved worth its money so far.

So here it is; the final tattoo design for Dan:

Cupidity

Some more initial sketches for the website:

Mice

A mate called me up last night and asked me to design the graphics for his new short film called Cupidity. You can check the website out here

Anyway, a kind of fantastical dark theme exploring the conflict between our internal and external selves,

Here are some sketches for the cupidity website:

some more of my monday

Gradually building this up:

Mondays

Been trying to convince my boyfriend to get a tattoo, I tend to only draw old school style tattoos, but gradually getting more into HR Giger and some darker style tattoos I thought I would have a shot at a different style, with softer lines and more detail in the shading. I am designing this in stages:

Some Commissions

Some classic roses for Sarah:

Bettie Page style pin up:

A design in progress for Jake, I'm thinking some cupids, Stormy clouds and a skeleton from the underworld reaching out to her:

Snow Day part 3

snow day part 2

Snow Day

Paradise part two

Photoshopped:

Paradise

I need to break out of these nightmares:

I'm probably going to change around the composition a little when I get a chance.

Monsters in oil rooms

Anyone who reads this blog regularly will know that I regularly have strange sadistic dreams. Last night was no different. Dreamt about the monster below raping a young girl, they were tangled up in circuitry and black oil. Probably sparked by a visit to the museum of everything yesterday, where trans - gendered young children were subjected to really horrific events, all depicted in a rather wonderful watercolour.

Breathing Fire

He's probably just got a sore throat.
