A day learning illustrator.

I wanted to brush up on my Illustrator skills, so I sat myself down and watched a couple of tutorials. I’ve been drawing girls in my sketch book lately so I decided to use one of the sketches. I’m quite pleased with the first bash and the pen tool is no longer my enemy. I’ve got loads of ideas from today’s work and some more girls to get pentooled up.

I’m actually planning on screen printing the girls so this on was more of an experiment. I’ll update with pictures soon.

The Rat Catchers

The Rat Catchers is now available as a print in my New ETSY shop.

The Caramel Cat With the Golden Eyes.

The young bear Prince summons the power of the Caramel Cat With the Golden Eyes. This piece is inspired by a conversation I had at the globe gallery. The bear is actually one of the characters form the comic I'm working on.

A few photos from the Exhibition.

I don't have to many snaps, I should have really sorted out a photographer, If anyone else took any when they were there could you send them my way? Thanks.

Toys in the Attic.

It's been a few day's since my last pip. I've been trying to sort things out for Xmas which has been a nightmare to say the least, (bah humbug.) Anyway I hope everyone else is sorted.

I'm hoping to lanch my Etsy shop tonight, if not tomorrow and prints of this will be available. The skeleton on the original is glow in the dark. There was someone asking about this piece but when he found out it was glow in the dark he wen't a bit funny. Apparently he made a glow in the dark werewolf when he was a child which it scared during the night, and ever since he's been afraid of all thing illuminous.

Poscaing up the walls of a church. Me as a nature head.

Whey colossal blog post...

When I was at the exhibition space last week I noticed how grand the archways in the church where and how much I wanted to draw on them. So I went out and bought the fattest Posca I could and let rip. Before starting I scribbled a quick sketch of the basic shapes I wanted on the back of a flyer for reference. I’ve got the taste for it now though so if anyone has a church or space they want defacing with my stuff I’d be interested. Naturally it won’t be a picture be me inside a spotted fish, unless that’s what floats your boat.

The Art of Conversation - Nature Heads -13- 15 Camouflage series

All the animal hats in this series use some form of camouflage, when screen printing I knew that the camelion would be the last so I save some of every colour I used in the early nature heads to use on that bad boy.

I've been busy working on an ETSY store today and it took me three hours to photograph all the images for it, a mind numbing process. I've also been adding some bios for each of the pieces to go on the shop so I'll post them up with some of the pictures. They're influenced by some of the ridiculous conversation I had before the exhibition, so they worth a read.
