Art and kids
Do you have small humans demanding your time? Do you somehow still manage to create new and wonderful visual delights?
I’d love to know your secret.
I’ve posted over here asking for advice.. can you help? Feel free to comment directly here if that’s easier.
Indie Comics
Hey guys, I’ve started a topic on the forums over here about independant comics and comic creators.. I hope you’ll head on over and drop in some thoughts.
Mainly I’m hoping to get some links to the awesome work you’re all doing :)
Ink
I’ve been playing with watercolours for quite some time now. I’ve learned a lot, which I hope comparing my first one to my most recent one will attest.
I’m still enjoying that, but I’d like to try something new. The next thing I’d like to look at is ink.. specifically ink washes and the like.
Anyone have any advice for what brands or types of ink I should look at.. a…
Feet
I’ve been trying to improve my anatomical drawing recently (let’s face it, we’re all always trying to improve something) and I’ve come to the realisation that I can’t draw feet for shit. I think I’ve gotten into a lazy habit of just chucking down a blob with five little blobs on it and thinking it’ll do.. but in fact feet are tricky little bastards. They …
iPhone cases ahoy!
The possibility of getting something for free finally motivated me to get off my arse and iphone casify a bunch of my designs over lunch today. Turned out it’s actually a pretty simple process.
If you’re on twitter I hope you’ll try to win some stuff, and otherwise I hope you’ll have a bit of a look at my cases and tell me what you think.
Meet little Lily!
For those of you who have been wondering why I have been so quiet these last two weeks, allow me to introduce Lily Sofia! She was born on the 29th of August and looks just like her Mum :) Big brother Oscar is still a little unsure, but he’s warming to her.
Nearly time for a new babby
Those of you who aren’t my friend on facebook (or haven’t been online on the very occasional times I’ve mentioned it) might not know that my wife and I are expecting our second baby soon. Very soon, in fact. Two weeks.
It’s all rather exciting. After taking a few photos this weekend I was looking back through my blog and found the other photo taken around the same 38 week…
Game of Kings
My final piece for the Game of Kings is up now! Check it out here
I had a fair bit of trouble with this until I decided to move a bit further away from Thickblackoutline’s original design (which you can see here ) .. I love TBO’s work, but I had to put my own spin on it.
Tara McPherson was a big inspiration for this.. I kept going back to these three images whenever I started to lose…
Killeroo Pinup
I’ve just finished a Killeroo pinup for Darren Close. I thought I’d post it here as a journal entry rather than uploading the work to Redbubble. I recommend checking out Killeroo (if you can find it) and otherwise bugging Darren on twitter (@killeroo) to get off his arse and release the next book ;)
I’m fairly confident the Japanese says “Kiraruu” in…
Saint Walker by David Mack
Check out these fantastic process photos from David Mack. I’ve got a couple on my blog or you can see the lot on his facebook page here
