Penelope Purpleton

Whew, the new year has been super hectic so far! Unfortunately most of the stuff I'm doing at the minute I can't show yet, and I don't really even have time to draw some sketches to throw up here!
I can show this painting I did for Electric Picks awesome Red Box book, which is still available here.

More art soon hopefully

film ref sketch

Just a quick sketch to start off the new year.
From the dreadful but beautifully named "Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity".

Christmas!

The blog's been a bit neglected lately, simply because I've had a ton of work to do, most of which can't be shown yet. I hate leaving it too long without an update though, so here's a little seasonal pic I just sketched to fill in the gap until I've got something proper to show.
Merry Xmas!

Tentacle Nurse Tees on Sale!

After a very long period of thinking about it, forgetting about it for a while and then thinking about it again, I've finally got around to getting some T-shirts made!

They're light grey on black, mens and womens sizes and available IN THE SHOP.
I selling them for £18, but if you order before Christmas you can get them for £15!
More art soon.

Doodle Doodle Doodle

This drawing is crap. But sometimes it's nice to just muck around and see what comes out rather than being too focused on what the final image will be, correcting anatomy and lighting etc. Occasionally it'll pay dividends, the majority of the time it won't, but it's fun to do regardless.

Electric Picks book is out and ready to order! You can get yourself a copy of this mammoth 240 page full colour tome HERE. 

More art soon.

Haunted

OOOoooOOooo! Spoooooky Halloweeeeen printssssss!
The idea for this pic came to me fully-formed in a dream. Now that I think about it, it seems really obvious that Velma would join the Ghostbusters when she was a bit older. I imagine she's also developed some pretty weird fetishes after spending so much of her youth chasing spooks...

 Detail pic:

A limited run of high quality prints are available in my shop.

Till Art do us Part

A homage to pain! Thursday the first of November from 7:30pm onwards.
More details about the event here.

The Cheerleaders

I did this one a little bit differently than I normally do these film pics, in that I went off-ref about halfway through and just winged it.
From the superb "The Cheerleaders".

WHOMP!

I always see these little road sweeper vans pootling around the city early in the morning, when there are a few of them together it always reminds me of the mini cleaner robots in Fifth Element. The real ones don't have lowrider hydraulics though... Anyway, this is a rather long-winded introduction to the painting I just finished; WHOMP!

 Some detail pics.

Limited edition prints are available in the shop.

Heresy n Heelz

I'm going to have a stall at the Alternative and Burlesque Fair in Derby tomorrow (Sat 13th Oct) selling prints and postcards. They got a lot of cool events running throughout the day so come and check it out if you're nearby and say hello. More info HERE.

In other news, I've got a new print that's almost ready to go, so check back here soon!

Red Box

 The super-skilled Electric Pick has been posting up his comic Red Box on his blog for a while, and now the whole thing is going to be printed out in a massive 240 page brick of book! It also features bonus stuff by other artists, including a pic by me.
Pre-orders and more info are available here.
More art soon!

Class of Nuke 'Em High

You know what no one ever says to me, ever?
"Why don't you draw some more of those sketches from old film stills, they're my favourite?!"
So to satisfy those non-existent people, here's a pic of the wonderfully expressive Janelle Brady from Class of Nuke 'Em High.

#edit# And yes, her mouth does open that big!

Film Ref

Another film ref pic, this time from Deathstalker I think.

More art soon.

Black Lagoon

It seems as though it's been a while since I've had anything I can post up; I've got a few things in the works put nothing I can show just yet unfortunately! A couple of prints coming soon and some commission stuff as well...
But I hate not updating for a while, so I drew a pic just for you!

More art soon.
