Electric Wizard

2012-01-26T22:11:00.002Z

Had a GREAT day at University just printing out some of my posters ready for Monday's assessment. Even found time to reuse a previously posted image (with some slight tinkering) for another mock poster, this time for UK DOOM Fiends ELECTRIC WIZARD.

HUNTRESS

2012-01-24T22:14:00.002Z

Here's the worked up poster for an upcoming HUNTRESS gig based on a previously posted sketch. Starting to feel good about my work again at the moment! (SHHH... Keep it to yourselves though!)

BLACK MOTH

2012-01-23T21:53:00.002Z

It's funny how an idea evolves. When I did the sketch of the "Bride's" head I was thinking of producing a poster for Zombina And The Skeletones or Psycho Motel. The shape of the head when mirrored reminded me of a heart shape (just in time for Valentine's Day)... and then I came across the band BLACK MOTH and all of a sudden the shape looked less like a heart and more like a moth... I added in the skull and began playing with the colours to best represent the band (and the amazing artwork on their debut single) and the above poster was born!

It's fair to say that this was heavily influenced by the amazing work I saw at The Richard Goodall Gallery last week too!

Promises

2012-01-23T10:03:00.001Z

Here's the first sketch I did in my new sketchbook, and it's one of the best drawings I've done in a long time... really pleased with her.

Love is electric

2012-01-23T10:02:00.000Z

Another train sketch (and an idea for a gig poster/t-Shirt design).

FOOOOOMMMM!

2012-01-23T10:01:00.001Z

A sketch done on the train to Manchester last Friday.

On the Hunt(ress)

2012-01-23T09:54:00.002Z

What a terrible pun! Anyways... It's the usual story that i've been busy writing and researching for the Masters and as a result my actual creativity has suffered once again!

However, I came across a new band called HUNTRESS (above) and decided to have a go at a poster design. Here are the initial sketches (one of which is seriously indebted to Bruce Timm) for possible work up.

I went over to the Richard Goodall Gallery in Manchester on Friday to take a look at the exhibition there and was really inspired to get back into producing Gig posters... so hopefully you'll be seeing a few more pop up from now on.

Vampire's Everywhere

2012-01-10T17:12:00.003Z

Because I've been researching Character brands for the Masters of late, here's an experiment that I quite fancy doing some more with. I wanted to create a cute character in the style of Hello Kitty, yet (as is my want) have a horror themed link with it... So here's my first attempt (and some initial design layouts too).

What do you guys think? Is it worth me pursuing the idea any further?

The Cat in the Hat

2012-01-10T17:06:00.002Z

The TINY ART Flickr group theme for this month is 'Dr Seuss' and here is my digital render of The Cat In The Hat. The cool thing about TINY ART is that contributors create original pieces in a 2.5 x 3.5 inch format to trade with one another in the group. I'll have to scan the hand drawn version of this in to post it before I mail it off to the States for trade so you can see how terrible my drawing actually is!!!

Back from the dead...

2012-01-10T14:25:00.002Z

It's been forever, but a very, very, very, very long time ago I did some artwork for a British Horror Punk band called The Dead Pleasures... I've FINALLY got round to photographing the evidence to prove that I was actually used (and I didn't just make it up!)...

Dead Pleasures: A Chorus of Corpses (Robot Monster Records) USA.

ahh... look at my baby soft hand and chubby little fingers!

Book Of Creation!

2012-01-10T11:36:00.001Z

Here's my double page spread from the Very First issue of a new French Language Publication 'The Book Of Creation' (Oracom Publishing). My grateful thanks goes out to Stephanie and colleagues for allowing me to be a part of this great new magazine... and I get to share the same space as LOU LOU & TUMMIE (amongst many more great creatives) so I am officially 'Chuffed to bits'!!!

I hope it brings me new opportunities to create more art!!

WAR OF WORDS... TINSEL

2012-01-09T21:19:00.002Z

Meet Tina Tinsel!

The War Of Words has pretty much died a death of late, which is such a shame seeing as how prolific it made me as an illustrator. TINSEL was a word I chose over a month a go and although I did the sketch for it in plenty of time the lethargy caused by the Masters course meant that I couldn't face working the image up.... It's time for change though... I am the MASTER of my own destiny!

The Fallen Hero

2012-01-09T21:13:00.002Z

Former MANOWAR drummer Scott Columbus tragically lost his life in the later part of 2011 and it's been a long time coming, but here's my tribute to the man that played the custom 'Drums of Doom' in a great Heavy Metal band!

He also rocked the mustache like no other!

Wherever you are Scott... keep hammering those skins!

The first FINISHED PIECE of 2012!!!

The first sketches of 2012..

2012-01-09T14:36:00.001Z

Very rough sketches they are too!! but all the same they are seeds of ideas.

What happenend to 2011?

2012-01-09T11:23:00.002Z

Happy New Year everyone!! (sorry it's a little late)..

What a strange year 2011 ended up being! I've no idea what happened to December!! I've done very little in the way of drawing over the last month and this is largely due to the Masters Course I'm on... Truthfully it's a pretty unplesant experience, and it's completely sapped me of my drive to create. The 2 brief's that we are working on for 16th Jan deadline are research modules, and as such offer me no joy whatsoever... I really dislike research (even if it's a subject I'm partial to)... but to just touch base with you all (and to prove that I AM actually doing SOME research) here is an updated INFLUENCE MAP, which was an exercise I recently completed to try and visualise some of the stronger influences on my (currently non-existent) work.

Appearing (in no particular order) are:

BRUCE TIMM, DEREK YANIGER, BEN CAMPEROS, CRAIG MCKRAKEN, SANJAY PATEL, ALBERTO CERRITENO, BEN NEWMAN, SHAG, SHANE GLINES, BELLE DEE, PAUL FRANK, BOB STAAKE, DARWYN COOKE and GAMA-GO (with TIM BISKUP).

Hopefully things will pick up on the creative front in the short term and you'll have some more pics to look at shortly.

One good thing happened over Christmas on the art front though... I recieved my copy of The Book Of Creation (published by Oracom) with my double page spread in!! Must upload some pictures of it!!

T-Shirt time!

2011-12-22T21:45:00.002Z

Hi Boils and Ghouls! Have yourselves a very Merry Christmas my friends... and if the New Year finds you with a few pennies burning a hole in your pocket, I can highly recommend one of Red Bubble's splendid T-Shirts... especially seeing as how they have my designs on them! If you click on the banner over on the right hand side of my blog you can take a closer look at the first few designs that I have available there. Alternatively, you can just watch the pretty slideshow for a preview!

I got the above T-Shirt recently to check how they turned out before shouting about them and I'm really happy with the quality and the neat little touches regarding the packaging....

and it's all for a good cause.... ME!

MISSING LINK EXHIBITION IN PARIS

2011-12-16T22:07:00.005Z

A while back I produced 2 images for the PICTOPLASMA project 'The Missing Link'... Below is an extract from an email I received from Peter Thaler-

We are very honored to herewith let you know that your Missing Link will be part of the main section of the exhibition!

A massive wall in the central exhibition hall will present 500 of the very best entries as unique digital prints, providing full credit to you as the artist.

Should you happen to be in or close to Paris during the month of December, we would be more than delighted to see you there!

WOO HOO!!!!!!

Fish in the water....

2011-12-16T21:36:00.000Z

Super quick work up in Illustrator!

Fish out of water

2011-12-16T21:16:00.000Z

I don't know why but I like the framing of this doodle.

Work in progress!

Where The Wild Things Are sketches

2011-12-15T20:31:00.002Z

I may have mentioned before that I love Maurice Sendak's book 'Where The Wild Things Are'. It was a staple of my childhood (and now of my Son's). So in an attempt to generate some creativity last week I started doodling some of the characters. What's interesting (maybe) is seeing my process on each page of trying to simplify the images. Will definitely work these up as they 'excite' me a bit!

The girl who sorta liked skulls (a bit)...

2011-12-15T20:30:00.001Z

Intending to work this one up as I really like the shapes (and the title)!

A couple of Wolfmen

2011-12-15T20:27:00.001Z

A couple of lupine related sketches!

A Tiny Problem...

2011-12-15T20:25:00.000Z

Another doodle turned out promising!

Satan's beard

2011-12-15T20:23:00.001Z

No idea what I was thinking... I was watching X Men Origins: Wolverine at the time though!

It came from the bowels of hell...

2011-12-12T22:57:00.000Z

for a cup of sugar!...

Do you have any to spare?

Too old for this shit!

Recent sketches

2011-12-08T09:43:00.001Z

Here's a few of my sketchbook noodlings!... not feeling the love for drawing at the moment... Gee! There's a surprise!!

Next years Christmas Cards?

2011-12-08T09:38:00.002Z

I did the attached illustration of Santa recently and it got me thinking a bit (not a lot mind you... just a bit!) Here's what I came up with. I was intending to screen print these as my personal christmas cards for this year (that's why they are all 2 colour), but due to my work schedule and current University crisis, I've probably left it too late for this year.

The Misfits UK Tour 2012

2011-11-29T21:29:00.002Z

Here's a poster design (just for fun) for The Misfits up and coming UK tour in support of their cracking new album 'The Devil's Rain'.

Pleased with the simple/strong graphic shapes and contrasts. Feel a little better about my artwork in these last few days, I feel more 'comfortable' with what I do.

It's strange, but you'd have thought I'd have learnt by now to accept the way I work instead of trying to reinvent my artwork to fit in with my peers... There has to be a place out there for me surely?

Uncle Vladimir

2011-11-29T21:28:00.000Z

Portrait circa 1813.

A short story...

2011-11-29T20:53:00.000Z

'The Haunted Kettle' a short story by Shane.

Holy cow!

2011-11-29T15:24:00.002Z

....this is quite possibly THE BEST piece of art I've done in a long long time... I don't know how or why or even where it came from... but by gum I like it!

WAR OF WORDS... ARCHER

2011-11-29T15:19:00.002Z

Cor Blimey... it's been ages since we did this War of Words thing on a regular basis... I can't believe how prolific we used to be. This is the most recent word (and my entry for) ARCHER. It's Marvel Comics Hawkeye done in my own err... unique? way.

Those 80's Marvel costumes were pretty scary when you look back at them now!

Be Grim!

2011-11-27T22:27:00.002Z

Here's a sketch and another quick illustrator work up (I did whilst watching the Wolfman remake on DVD). Really pleased with the shapes in this one... compositionally it hangs together pretty well for me!

AAARRRGGGHHH!!! My eyes!!!

2011-11-27T22:12:00.002Z

Just having a bit of fun by 'freehand' drawing in illustrator (using the paintbrush tool) and incorporating some extreme colour combos. Strange how 'child-like' they look to me, the shapes and line thickness. I've also got a bit of a thing for triptychs at the minute... no idea why though!

I am working on a idea for a short story so that might have something to do with it I guess.

HO HO HO

2011-11-25T21:26:00.002Z

It's almost here my friends! What have you asked for this year? Whatever it is, I hope you get it. This design came out of a quick sketch I made during my lunch break at work. I'm always searching for new ways to draw santa, and was really happy with this graphic approach.... so much so, that it gave me an idea!!!

Rockin' Robin

2011-11-24T21:52:00.001Z

Here's another 'freestyle' illustrator image based on a rough sketch.

Smile please...

2011-11-24T21:43:00.002Z

Went to an Alice in Wonderland exhibition at the Tate Gallery in Liverpool the other week... hugely disappointing experience on the 'artie farty' front... Felt a lot more inspired after visiting Liverpool's 2 comic/toy shops. Anyways... I've finally done an image from 'Alice' that I'm pretty happy with.

Best of all, it came together really quickly.. 1 Sketch and 1 'freestyle' Illustrator design.

QUACK

2011-11-21T20:45:00.002Z

Did some character sketches of (yet another) Creature From The Black Lagoon type character recently... here's the first digital spoils from that exercise.

MMM... Snow!

2011-11-21T20:41:00.002Z

Sorry... been busy doing MASTERS related things... here's a sketch I did last night as a Christmas Card idea.

I've been working on odd little things of late (and I have been documenting them) and I've every intention of uploading them shortly, but the course has been slipping away from me of late and I had to make a conscious effort to get some work done.

Something a bit different...

2011-11-13T21:20:00.002Z

Here's an abstract idontknowwhat which I used to promote a show for Dashboard Confessional. Not sure what possessed me, I just liked the colours and the shapes (and it reminded me of their music somehow?) Been busy trying to get into gear for the MASTERS of late (but I'm failing miserably at the moment)... sigh!

... and for my next trick!

2011-11-09T21:57:00.001Z

The juggler (of DOOM!!!!!)

Throws... in sketches

2011-11-09T21:53:00.003Z

Here's the process from the original rough sketch (directly above) through to a colour mock that included the crucifix.

WAR OF WORDS... THROWS

2011-11-09T21:45:00.002Z

Only one image came to mind for the latest word 'THROWS'.... that of Linda Blair's infamous pea soup spewing sequence from The Exorcist. Did the drawing last week, but this silly creative stupor I can't shake off has meant that I couldn't even bring myself to scan it in... Still... here it is now in all it's glory!!!

MINION

2011-11-07T22:43:00.001Z

Here's a quick vector illustration of Minion for the great Dreamworks movie MEGAMIND.

Freakishly big headed Frankie

2011-11-05T21:04:00.001Z

Quick vector sketch, and another visual representation of my strange love affair with frankenstein's monster.

Black and Orange (a slight return)

2011-11-02T21:23:00.002Z

Still playing around with the idea of some 2 colour designs. Here's a revised 'Drac' (again) and an update of a recent Wolfman layout. I'm still not wholly convinced as yet, but there's something there that I want to explore.

It's Miller time...

2011-11-02T21:21:00.001Z

I'm not the biggest fan of Frank Miller's artwork (ooh the controversy)... but I can't help feeling that this image I scribbled up last night owes Mr Miller a debt of gratitude.

Where's the party?

2011-10-31T21:05:00.001Z

Really liked the sketch I did for this... and I'm actually liking the finished piece too!

Happy Halloween!!!

2011-10-31T21:04:00.000Z

FLICKER

2011-10-31T21:02:00.001Z

Finally joined the FLICKER movement. It's nice to view my images in a slideshow.... I've actually done some quite good images it turns out!

WAR OF WORDS... STUDENT

2011-10-27T20:18:00.002+01:00

Student of the Black Arts!

Always had this image in mind for the word... though it eventually became a lot more graphic/shape based than originally intended... Happily, it still tells the story I wanted and is instantly recognizable as one of my works (for good or bad).

Having a real miserable time of illustration at the moment... couldn't even tell you why... it's another one of those 'do I even want to draw anymore' times... and it SUCKS!!!!

WAR OF WORDS... FINGER

2011-10-27T20:14:00.003+01:00

Had a few ideas for this word... one was a Monty Python inspired rife, using a finger (obviously) instead of the trademark foot. But after looking through a couple of art books by RAGNAR, I was seduced into producing this noir inspired cover image. I've enclosed the sketch for a bit of fun too!

More sketching madness

2011-10-23T21:54:00.002+01:00

More half ideas, doodles and nonsense.. The cool looking band on the bottom post are a great garage styled outfit from Liverpool called EL TORO (and they feature Ash and Ben from Zombina and the Skeletones in their lineup).. I've been listening to their album lots, and here are the initial stages of some poster designs I'm looking at doing.

Bad times...

2011-10-23T21:43:00.002+01:00

Oh god!!!! I'm having such a crappy time drawing of late. It feels like it's been ages since I've produced a sketch that I'm happy enough with to take to a digital stage. Here's a few sketches that may have something worth pursuing in them.

normally I'd vet the sketchbook pages before I post them, but I thought I'd share my pain over the next few posts!!!

The girl with the gun is my idea for the Word of the Week entry (Finger)... I wanted to do a film noir type poster along he lines of the artwork of RAGNAR.

The (many) Flaming Skull sketches are my interpretation of the AMAZING Zombina and the Skeletones song of the same name (Flaming Skull). I'm hoping to use the band (and their music) as a springboard to try and get me producing work again... (You'll also see a sketch of the Minion from the great Dreamworks movie MEGAMIND in there too!)

Most Excellent Halloween news!!!

2011-10-20T22:36:00.002+01:00

ZOMBINA AND THE SKELETONES RETURN....

REJOICE!!!!

Huzzah!

Back to the Masters.

2011-10-10T22:11:00.002+01:00

Next for the Masters course I'm hoping to do some printmaking, and in order to approach screen printing practically, I'm thinking of producing some of my characters as a series of Limited Edition 2 colour prints (Black and Orange being the most favourable colourways at the moment) so here's a digital exercise using my recent Dracula design to see how it might look.

It's an interesting exercise to try and reduce the characters down to their basic essence... and it's not that easy to do either!

Look into my eyes....

2011-10-10T22:06:00.002+01:00

Here's an alternative layout for my recent Frankenstein's monster... I wasn't 100% happy with the eyes from that post so i've reworked them for this (along with the teeth!)... I'm pretty confident that this will make a cool badge... what about a T Shirt though?.... hmmm

WAR OF WORDS... VACANCY

2011-10-08T22:38:00.001+01:00

Tough word this week... had 2 ideas (of which this is one) and the other revolves around a PSYCHO based image which I may still do.

Next week... FINGER

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water

2011-10-06T21:25:00.002+01:00

Beware the female slugwort fish monster, when she desires a mate...

The hills are alive....

2011-10-06T14:02:00.002+01:00

Here's a representation of an elusive Welsh Mountain Monster singing a Winter Song to bring about the change of seasons. They are very shy creatures despite their monsterous size and are rarely seen, even during their mating season where they perform complex dance routines (like a Las Vegas showgirl... only with marginally more hair... and bigger teeth) to try and win the affection of a female.

On a cold Autumn night, if you listen carefully you will hear their song carried on the wind.

WAR OF WORDS... BARON

2011-10-04T21:50:00.002+01:00

Baron Samedi - James Bond. What other possible image could I offer up for last week's word BARON?

Next... VACANCY... Oh bugger!

What I did on my first day back at University...

2011-10-03T21:06:00.001+01:00

A couple of doodles during a lecture on... I'm not sure what on actually... I might have zoned out for a little while.

New Sketches

2011-09-30T20:38:00.001+01:00

Here's a few sketches done recently. I'm hoping to start working at least a few of them up on Illustrator soon, feels like forever since I've produced a 'finished' piece.

UP UP and AWAY!!!

2011-09-29T20:39:00.002+01:00

Had a very good couple of hours just listening to music and doodling in my sketchbook today. here's the first of the fruits of my labour... Simple Superman.

WAR OF WORDS... VOLUME

2011-09-29T20:32:00.002+01:00

Here's the original sketch and the cropped 'tweaked' entry for this weeks (or was it last week?) word VOLUME. I had a flash of inspiration one bleary morning on the drive in to work... and sketched it up at lunchtime. I enjoy the tweaked version, it was fun to play around with the filters in photoshop after such a long time, and quite refreshing to produce a piece without a vector rendering for a change.

Next word is BARON... interesting.

The Hunter

2011-09-19T21:58:00.002+01:00

Getting round to working up some of my recent sketches, and here's a poster for an upcoming show by MASTODON supporting Soundgarden in the USA. Their new CD is out next week (The Hunter) and it sounds smashing from what I've heard of it so far too!

WAR OF WORDS... PLAY

2011-09-19T14:26:00.002+01:00

Hot on the heels of my entry for last week's word (CITY) is this weeks effort for PLAY. Did a sketch of a furry monster rocking out on the guitar in front of a city scene (as a concept for last weeks word) and used that as a basis for this. The robot has been greatly inspired by the giant robot invader from the movie MONSTERS VS ALIENS which I've been forced to watch several times over the weekend with my Son (not that I mind because it's a great film).

Perhaps for the first time in a long time I've been able to blast through this design with no hassle.... It feels REALLY GOOD!! Just like i used to draw!

Who knows... maybe i've still got it (somewhere?).

next word is... VOLUME... yikes!

WAR OF WORDS... CITY

2011-09-19T13:37:00.002+01:00

Very late entry for the War of Words campaign... Not through shortage of ideas (lots of monsters destroying landscapes and such), but decided to team up Batman and Judge Dredd again for a fake comic cover proposal. Did a really rough sketch of Dredd a short while back (all weird bendy limbs) and wanted to work the design up to see how it would look. I could probably do to make his arms a little longer, particularly his right arm, but it's alright apart from that I think.

This week's word is PLAY.... must get to work on it!

Halloween's a coming!

2011-09-16T22:10:00.000+01:00

And now for something completely different...

2011-09-16T21:09:00.002+01:00

...erm, I lied! It's actually just some more sketches! Halloween's a coming, and I've felt a little more motivated to draw lately... hence these images. I'm really happy with the 'Dracula' sketch... In fact, I'm off to 'illustrator' it now!

More sketching.

2011-09-13T21:05:00.002+01:00

Can't seem to get motivated to draw lately... ho hum... Here's a couple of sketches that seemed worth posting! I hate this malaise.

WOOT!!!!!!

2011-09-12T20:27:00.002+01:00

I'm sooo excited to announce that here is the cover art for the premier issue of the 'Book Of Creation'. A French publication showcasing the 'best of' new talent across the arts from all over the universe.... and they've put ME in it!!!!! (Must be some mistake) WOOT!

Should have a digital upload of my spread within the week and a hard copy through the post after that!

New Neighbour.

2011-09-05T22:25:00.000+01:00

Another sketch.

Zombie Hooker...

2011-09-05T22:23:00.000+01:00

She charges an arm and a leg!

Zombina returns...

2011-09-05T22:20:00.001+01:00

In preparation for the imminent return of Zombina and the Skeletones, here's a sketch for a poster I'm working on to celebrate!

Can't wait!!!

WAR OF WORDS... CORNISH

2011-08-31T22:43:00.002+01:00

Cornish?.... Cornish? What a horrible word that turned out to be!! After a lot of deliberation and ponderification (I just made that word up) regarding a different idea, I remembered that Hammer Films made 'Plague of the Zombies' in Cornwall.... ZING!!!! An idea was born... Here's 2 zombies heading off to the Slaughtered Lamb pub after a hard day's work slaving down the Cornish Tin Mine.

Next word.... CITY

Tommy The Cat is my name... and I say unto thee...

2011-08-31T22:42:00.001+01:00

PRIMUS are BACK!!!! Here's a poster to celebrate.

The Bat is back...

2011-08-31T22:00:00.001+01:00

Sketch and Digital work-up for a quick sketch of Bats... I quite fancy attempting to paint this (using real actual paints)!.... It'll probably never happen!!!!

Just for the record...

A strange discussion with a few fellow artsy fartsy friends resulted in an idea to produce an illustration on a monthly basis based on a randomly selected album/song title from our personal record collections... Erm... we came up with the idea for doing this a couple of months back... and true to form (of late) it sank without trace.... but here it is at last! Based on the song "Naked Girl Falling Down The Stairs" by The CRAMPS.

I was inspired by Saul Bass (and his VERTIGO poster work) for this one... I think it might lend itself well to a band poster at some point maybe. We are hoping to get this up and running as a regular monthly project alongside the Word Of The Week (which has taken a battering of late)... It's about time we started getting back into the swing of things!!

GHOST

A sketch of the singer from the glorious band 'GHOST', who's amazing debut album is available on RISE ABOVE Records... and is HIGHLY recommended!

Marvel Comics... you don't call, you don't write....

Another addition to the slowly growing series of 'Early Years' comic covers. I've been at the seaside with my family last week, and this was inspired by days on the beach.

Speiberg's next big project!

Batman and The Joker

2011-08-09T22:33:00.002+01:00

Batman goes pop art?

Having one of those prolonged bouts of creative doldrums (again!)... Have some T-Shirt designs out at a specialist print business at the moment, will post more info if I have any luck! I think I'm still suffering depression at the news that 'The Ghastly Ones' have called it a day.... Off to cry for a bit now!

Another quick rendering of Catwoman.

Captain America

2011-07-29T22:04:00.002+01:00

Been a while since I worked up a 'classic' hero like the Cap'... I did this for the Art Jumble blog super quick (no pun intended). It was quite refreshing to put together something so simple.

Love Suxx.....

There's no place like Gnome.

2011-07-22T20:10:00.001+01:00

I wonder what Gnomes do when they're not pretending to fish in your garden?

Sneak Peak

2011-07-22T20:04:00.002+01:00

Here's a sneak peek of an illustration I've put together as a submission for an exhibition called 'SPACE' to be held as part of the 2011 Cardiff Design Festival.

Keep your fingers crossed I get chosen. If I do, the full piece will be shown as part of the exhibition amongst some great talent!
