Anna Fur Laxis (Dr Sketchy's October 2012)

Here's the first of my Dr Sketchy's drawings 'worked up'.

WAR OF WORDS - FLUFFY

First thought was the 3 headed dog from Harry Potter.... then I thought about doing a 'cheesecake' illustration of a girl in a skimpy nightie with some fluffy slippers.... then I did this!!... go figure!

ZOMBINA AND THE SKELETONES

They're BACK! On Halloween night 2012... Zombina and the boys, finally release some new material (in the form of a new EP called 'That Doll Tried To Kill Me!')....

This has been a public service announcement!

DR SKETCHY'S PAGAN RITUAL. OCTOBER 2012

An excellent night at the latest Dr Sketchy event with my W.O.W buddies, Dave and Heather. Here's the best of my scribbling. Models - Serpentina and Anna Fur Laxis.

Awesome!

That thing that inspects the stars!

Take a look out of your window, on a crisp, clear night... If you look really hard... you might just see 'The thing that inspects the stars'.

WAR OF WORDS - NIGHTMARE

You'd have thought that this word would have been easy... I think that I was trying to make an effort to avoid the obvious! I just started creating shapes and here it is! hmmmm....

If I was going to follow the obvious route... I'd have plumped for Alice Cooper!

BACK FROM THE DEAD!

My musical muse have risen from their slumber and will be playing a PSYCHO MOTEL gig in Liverpool next month. Hopefully this will signify the release of a new record!!(?) In the meantime... here's a poster I did to celebrate!

I AM THE LAW!

Dredd Head.

War Of Words - TREAT

A few ideas for this word (of course, ALL Halloween related) here's some of the Elvira sketches I did. Will post/work up some of the others when I get a moment.

Here comes the Fink!

Another in the (7") series of Illustrations. This time for new band 'The Finksville Five' featuring members of 'The Ghastly Ones'. Check out their excellent first track 'The Judge' here.

HUNTRESS KILLS!

Here's another poster for Metal band HUNTRESS, led by the inimitable Jill Janus... High priestess of ROCK!

Check them out here.

Dr Sketchy Halloween

There's an up coming Dr Sketchy event on in Chester near Halloween, there's going to be TV crews there too apparently. Best try and get my game face on! The top doodle is based on Anna Fur Laxis (who's the main performer for the evening).

Zombina are BACK!!

Yes folks... my favourite band ZOMBINA AND THE SKELETONES are back in action! Here's a super rough sketch for a gig poster based on the cover artwork for Steve Niles 30 Days Of Night Graphic Novel.

Huntress

Here's a sketch of Huntress singer Jill Janus. Might put a poster together for their up coming UK gigs. The band were really receptive of the last poster I did for them, so it will be interesting to see if they like this one too. It will no doubt look totally different by the time i've killed it with ones and zeros!

War Of Words - Spike

Obvious choice for the word really.... but it was a guilty pleasure. The sketch was done in seconds (just as a shape guide) and the digital piece was done 'live' in Illustrator. Next week, word is TREAT.

What's This?

Here's the original thumbnail sketch idea I had for a promotional flyer for a potential GLOOP project, celebrating Halloween, Christmas AND The Nightmare Before Christmas.... I'm not certain anything will come from it due to a lack of interest from most of the group... I have an idea though... the few of us who have shown an interest could still do a little something to celebrate!

The Nefarious Night Time Plan...

Another strange sentence I wrote to accompany this sketch.... must be something in the water!! I like this one a lot!

The thing that inspects the skies...

I also wrote the line "The thing that inspects the stars" whilst watching the original 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' for some reason... interesting though!!

Little Elf... A slight return.

For some strange reason, I started drawing 'Little Elf' from my long forgotten children's book that never was. I'm not sure what this means, it kinda made me a little bit sad though...

Maybe its telling me to finish what I start for a change!!

Public Service Announcement

Coming soon...

War Of Words - EVE

This apathy for creation continues... Nothing has been able to kick-start me out of my distain for my own work. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep fighting this wave.

Here is my entry for EVE (the only thing that keeps me drawing at the moment).
