I was thinking to my myself today "you know what I haven't drawn in a while... A honking great robot!". This speedpaint is in no way derivative of Ashley Wood and I will take legal action against anyone who says it is.


Also, I very kindly got sent some photos of a huge tattoo of my pic of Missy Malone.
Cheers Nick!

When I was a kid I broke my leg and ended up stuck in hospital for a while, and my mum started bringing me copies of 2000ad to read. When I saw Simon Bisleys Slaine it was a revelation for me. I'd always liked to draw but hadn't really thought too deeply about where I was going with it or what the possibilities were, and here was a guy painting these ridiculously beautiful comics with guys turning into monsters, demons all over the place and gorgeous warrior women with giant boobs. Needless to say I started drawing a lot more from that point on.
The last thing I read of his (and Kevin Eastmans) was Fistful of Blood, a western about a mysterious naked woman fighting a load of vampires all rendered in pencil.
Speedy fanart ahead!

Thanks to a little bit of prompting from xEmilx I've finally got round to finishing the squid king pic "Tales of the High Seas". Now available in the print shop!

And heres and animated process gif because they always seem to go down well. Let's see how long it'll be until photobucket removes it!
This following pic is one I finished at the end of last year but I've only just got round to putting it up. It's a bit more graphic stylee than i normally go for but I think it works pretty well in this context, even if I do say so myself! Also now in the print shop.

More soon!

I recently did some artwork for blues/rockabilly/country band Burning Condors.
You can download the £3 EP here, but if you want to get the actual CD you'll have to go see them in person!

Robin Bougie has posted up an review he wrote about "The Legend of the Orgasm Bike" featuring a couple of illustrations by yours truly. Go check it out here. (slighty nsfw)
And if you've got some spare change burning a hole in your pocket, go and buy some of his amazing products here, so he can afford to keep sending me cool films to draw pictures of!

The latest amazing issue of Cinema Sewer is out now! You can find out more here.
Here are a couple of my pics that should appear in some future issues:



And for a bit a colour; a speedpaint of the lovely Maga.



Thanks for all the nice comments in the previous post! Much appreciated.

Grrrr

I'm afraid to say that you can expect to see less updates on my blog in the future; why? Because someone at my work looked over my shoulder while I was drawing at lunchtime, made an assumption about what they were looking at and complained to Human Resources that I was drawing "sexual violence".
It's an accusation I've had thrown against me before (and I'm sure I will again) and it never fails to annoy me for one simple reason; I don't draw sexual violence! I will hold my hands up proudly to drawing perverse, weird and occasionally twisted art, but all fictional parties involved in my pics are always doing so consensually; If anything it's normally the women being the instigators!
I personally think that some people (women AND men) have issues with women being portrayed as people who want weird sex and that only men have strange fantasies, which is patently not the case. When this type of person sees an image in which a woman is (for example) getting it on with a giant squid, they immediately cry "rape!" no matter how much the woman is obviously enjoying herself.
Anyway, just to prove my point, here is a collage of women crying, screaming, angry, sad and being abused...sigh :(
The upshot of this whole episode is that I can no longer draw at work, and because whoever complained did so anonymously rather than to my face I have to go around wondering who has such a twisted opinion of me.
But don't worry! I'll still be drawing and posting filthy femmes and perverted pics, just not at work :P

Rant over!
more art soon.

The danger of playing too much silent hill

Is that you end up doodling silly stuff like this...

::edit::
okay, I've bowed to popular pressure and taken down the alligator woman pic... instead, here's a detail of the still ongoing three pigs picture:


Also, I recently did some illustrations for Bizarre magazine for an article about a man (true story!) who had a "relationship" with a dolphin. The relevant issue should either be out now or in the next couple of days so go and buy yourself a copy to see the rest of the pictures.

Other news: I've been finding it a bit tricky to keep track of who's who in the comments because there are a few different people posting under "anonymous", so I'm going to disable the ability to post anonymously. Sorry if it causes you problems!

Teen Angels WIP

::edit::
mini update...

My day job has been eating up all my time recently so I haven't had much chance to draw.
All I've got to show for the past couple of weeks is this Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels pic, but I can't decide if it's worth finishing or not. Any opinions will be considered!

Pam and Zlata speedpaints

Just a couple of quick speedpaints this update. The first one is of the lovely Pam Grier and the second is of the astounding Zlata.
I could draw Zlata (and I have done) over and over and over again; she makes perfect reference material! You can check out her website here:
Zlatas amazing contortion website!



Here's a few grabs from the process of this speedpaint: I decided to start off with some fairly funky colours to hopefully give the final image a bit more punch. Whether it worked or not is dubious but it was fun to do.
