My stupidly talented friend Kyle and I are planning on making a short series of animated online comics. Here’s a little taster splash illustration I did for it. Just letting you know.

So, here’s a card I designed for Creative Safari. It’s pretty self-explanatory but there’s a nice ‘pride of lions’ tethering point in there somewhere. Here’s the link to view my design on the competition page  http://creativesafari.com/competition-entry/lions-in-love/ Also, one of my very good friends ( http://marawebster.tumblr.com/) designed one too so, take a look at hers too! http://creativesafari.com/competition-entry/frog-father/ Thanks!

Here’s a third illustration I did for ‘Hello Chengdu’ magazine and my second exertion into the world of isometric drawing. It’s the leshan buddha

Second Illustration for ‘Hello Chengdu’ magazine and First time experimenting with isometric drawing.

Went to Chengdu in China and met up with an old Uni chum who lives there, had an incredible time. China worships Pandas, especially Chengdu, where there’s a breeding sanctuary for them. I went to go see them and now I worship them too. They look like sad teddy-bears that act like drunk toddlers, if you don’t immediately fall in love, get outta’ ma face.  This the first illustration for ‘Hello Chengdu’ Magazine.

This is Amber. She's my parent's other dog. Friend of the rabbit and the chicken, enemy of the vacuum cleaner.   If you want prints, get em' here

This was for a @sketch_dailies. It's a Ala, or Hala who is a child eating, weather controlling demon from Serbian mythology.

Here's just a little bit of preliminary concept work for a Graphic Novel I'm working on with my good friend Kyle Fox.

This is an illustration of my parent's dog, Tess. Tess' back legs don't work and she doesn't see particularly well, she also, doesn't give a fuck. She doesn't know what optimism is, she has never seen any of the Rocky films nor has she seen any motivational typography on top of pictures of lakes or mountains, yet despite all that, she rides around in a dog-wheelchair like she's Prince and it's 1999.  This isn't a feel good speech about a personal application of overcoming adversity, I'm just saying, I like Tess.

So, I had this idea for a young girl, wearing a nightie, holding a candle, sat in a snow laden woodland scene, holding an unusual skull whilst eyes watch her from the dark. Unfortunately, this picture is not said idea.  Sadly because of the size of the image, (Which you may be able to appreciate with this link ) PS gave me a choice of, crash and potentially lose it all, or flatten the image. It's by no means a bad picture, it's just not what I have in my head so, I'll cut this off, put it on my blog and then roll on with remaking it, maybe a wee bit smaller too. Humbug.

Everyone wears armour to protect themselves from various things, such as - arrows, bullets, honey bees/badgers, children who say what they think, radiation from the sun, the fact that life has no inherent meaning and even bowling balls landing on your feet. So, to commemorate our desperate and glorious need for armour, I have drawn Ram. I drew him for you, so that you may stop and consider all the wonderful things that are protecting you from horrible things. To further marry the concept with the design, you can also actually wear Ram as armour.   Click the picture to follow your dreams. The Crest on his shield has Latin on it, which reads - saltatio cum bufo  ad deorum, which translates to - Dancing with the toad gods.

This is a mug that has words on it. I think this may officially be the bare minimum of what constitutes as artwork. If you have more money than sense, you can buy it here.  Though it actually look me a bit longer than it might initially seem since I did a background mountain scene within the words that you can't even see. So, if you want to see that, click this.  And if you hate words, click this. And finally, if you hate colours and visual stimuli, click this (I know, there's still a bit of stimuli, but can't have you burgluring my 'blood and sweat')

I drew this majestic African Buffalo to remind you to live each day like it's your last. (crying while hysterically searching for the cure.)  So, where's the best place to spend your final moments? That's right, on your laptop!  Watching minecraft let's plays and unnerving Die Antwoord music videos, perfect.

Things will absolutely never go according to plan, so when you will inevitably and frequently feel like Chewbacca in the trash compactor. Try to remember this toad I drew. I drew it for you.  Also - You can have a mug with this on it too, so you can stare at it every morning while you try and enjoy your coffee, the only light in our collective worlds of frightening and unconquerable dark. :)
