Spooky, Illustration Friday. Halloween theme!

I thought I would take a break from Posca pens and enter illustration Friday. I'm off to a Halloween party in a bit, think I might go as a cowboy Zombie, I've been playing a lot of Red Dead Undead Nightmare of late. Happy Halloween every one.

Watermelon Pips

I've started a personal blog, http://watermelonpips.blogspot.com/. Iv'e just posted a comic featuring sailor girl  today. Why the personal blog you may ask, well come over and all will be revealed. If any of the black rabbit's follows could also add me I'd appreciated it. See you there! 

Thanks Len.

Illustrating round the world

Ok, the title might be a little misleading, we have in fact, not illustrated our way out of Newcastle so far, but our work has certainly had grand dreams of adventures in far away lands. Mexico to be precise, which was this months theme for local arts publication Illustration Bandits. Here's a couple of tasters of my stuff from the first issue, make sure to click on numero dos for a full size version, I don't mean to blow my own trumpet, but I spent a lot of time on this one and it's worth the closer look.

I'm thinking of making the second into a screen print, with some sort of colour wash in behind the black screen.

In other news we will have some work up as part of an exhibition showcasing some North East illustration talent:

The preview is this Monday (the 1st of August) at the Sanctuary art space in St Edmunds Chapel, right on Gateshead High Street, from 6pm until 9pm and you're all more than welcome to attend! All the work will be for sale between £10 and £50 and there'll be a bunch of drinks and refreshments.

Also, I've been diving back into Twitter over the last couple of weeks and its been a total breath of fresh air, I'm tempted to scrap off all other social media, but I'll maybe hang fire in practicality. Anyway if you want to find me you can do right here. Give me a shout and say hi, I'm always looking for new people to follow!

Last night

I was working on these. Thought I would share a couple of snaps, I'll upload some higher quality images later. It's all very much a work in progress but I'll update soon with details of what it's all about.

Beware the black rabbit,

Oodles of doodles.

Hay rabbit hunters, I thought I would post some snap shots of a few sketches and doodles that are in my sketch book. Things like brain storms and quick sketches never see the light of day as the ideas are oftern developed or abandoned :) I'm going to upload some more latter. My internet connection is being somewhat temperamental.

Beware the Black Rabbit.

Speed sketch owls. 

I was speeding through these to test out different face shapes for owls, I was taking reference from a wild life book in the library at the time.

Speed sketch Baboon, same idea but it was monkeys. 

Zombies! I'm going to pen this up tonight I think.

This weeks Illustration Bandits topic is a self portrait as a bandit. I've named it 'The Narcissist.'

Beware the black Rabbit.
