Harley

Continuing the trend.. here's a 'sneak peek' EXCLUSIVE!! This is the sketch for Harley Quinn.. my favourite batman character. Not sure how this is going to work out as a duo-tone image.. but I'm going to have fun working it out!

I'm really pleased with the pose, and I'll refine the face in Illustrator later!

beware the black cat!


Here's something that popped into my head on the way to work this morning.. I put a sketch of Catwoman together during lunch at work and worked it up in Illustrator. It kinda reminds me of some cover work that Shane Glines did on the 'Gotham Girls' comic for DC a few years back, but this pretty much has my stamp on it I think.. I really like it, definitely going to look into this a bit more.. She looks good in colour too.. but you'll have to take my word for that!

PARTY TIME!... in HELL!!!


It's almost that time of year again.. All Hallows Eve is soon to be upon us.. Here is my flyer design for the most happening zombie hop in all of the land.. It's for the CD release party for my buddies 'The Dead Pleasures'.. with artwork by yours truly!! YAY!!.. If you're looking for something to do that night (other than get fat eating treats)... get your glad rags on and slink over to Ironbridge and support the band.. I can't make it unfortunately as I will be hiding under my bed until the morning!!

I've also just realized that I haven't put my web address on the bloody thing.... DOH!!!.. what a tit!...

Bum flaps!!!!

Me am Famous!!

Finally.. A little recognition!! I am one of the featured artists in a brand spanking shiny new online magazine called 'New Sugar'.. You can visit it at :

http://www.newsugar.co.uk/newsugar-issue-1.pdf

and revel in the visual delights on offer... of which mine are (of course) some of the smoothest you will ever lay our eyes on...

The theme of the issue is 'No'.. so go check out all of my Star Wars based images (which would make great t-shirt designs by the way) and a few more treats.. There's even a little question and answer with me in there for your noodling pleasure!..

Chuffed to bits to be part of something new like this.. please show your support.

Remember, it's:

and tell them I sent you!.. then come back and let me know what you think... I'm lonely here all on my own!

GRRR!


This here is a poster I put together for an american bunch of horror punks called 'Calabrese'. I saw on their website that they were running a fan art competition, so I confidently submitted my design... Suffice to say I didn't win... but the artwork that did win was (quite frankly) shit!

That makes me sound really bitter.. and I suppose (deep down) I am a little.. My artwork was far superior to the winning entries and I'm just wondering what I'm supposed to do to get recognition for what I do..

I love the band and I'm really proud of this poster, but damn... they clearly don't know good work when they see it..

Congratulations to the fans that did win!!

With regards to my poster.. the keen eyed among you may notice that I've used the background in a previous poster (for the Postmortem Maniacs)... well done you!.. but because I didn't win a prize for my hard work...  you don't either!!!!  BWWAAAAHHAAAA HAAAAA HAAA HAAAA!

I'm off to sulk for a bit more now.. The Kittie poster is progressing slowly (because I'm working on a Children's book at the same time) and I've also started a celebratory Zombina poster for their new album.... Oh.. and I'm working on a flyer for the Dead Pleasures too and hopefully a sticker for 'Crrerature Feature.. who really liked my poster designs!

BOO!
