I'm back! Just a quickie to keep this thing rolling along...

Black Balloon

I'm going to Mexico City! So no updates for a couple of weeks I'm afraid.
Here's a quick speedpaint of Gemma Ward from Australian film "Black Balloon" to keep you going till I get back!




Lots of cool things on the horizon which I should hopefully be able to post about soon!

The new issue of Bizarre should be out on the 27th, featuring a five page article about MEEE!
If you're interested in reading any of my stupid ramblings go and check it out. It also has a full page image that I did for them which is now available as a limited run print from my print site.

The only downside is that they used a hideous photo of me in the article in which I look like a potato, so ignore that bit!
I'm working on a few different images at the minute, but none of them are anywhere near completion... I'll try and post some WIPs up soon though.

Sorry for the lack of posting lately; I've been a bit under the weather for the last couple of weeks.
Until I feel well enough to put pen to paper again, I've put together a couple more postcard sets for sale:


Available now from the print site!

I've been really rammed with work at the minute so I haven't got loads to put up this time.
First is a small detail from a bigger pic I finished recently for a feature in Bizarre mag; I can't show the whole thing yet though!
Second is a stupid little doodle that I liked initially but then when it came to colouring it I lost interest, hence the unfinishedness!

I should be able to do a more substantial update next time hopefully.

Just a quicky speedpaint from excellent vintage slasher film Pieces


The eagle-eyed amongst you will have already noticed the new FB page link at the bottom of the sidebar. Go and like it if you feel the urge. Or not. Whatever.
More art soon!

Woop! Woop!

It's the sound of the sex police!
Just a silly sketch I spent longer on than I should have on.


I got the test prints back from my printers (Oxford Giclee) for Civil Disobedience, and they look great! Even if I do say so myself...
I've learnt from experience that you really get what you pay for when it comes to printing, and these guys are top notch. Photo:



Finally, I found a few renders of characters for Timesplitters Future Perfect on an old computer. Here's one of JoBeth Casey. I might post more up in the future if the mood takes me...

Ornella Muti and Linnea Quigley

Two women who made a massive impression on me when I was a kid. First, Ornella Muti as Princess Aura in Flash Gordon. This pic isn't from Flash but from Oasis of Fear, but she is still gorgeous!


Second, Linnea Quigley. I blame this scene from Return of the Living Dead for my live-long obsession with thigh-high socks/leg warmers.


And some process comps:


::EDIT::
camwhoring alert!
I had to get a picture of me where I didn't look like a complete melon for a magazine feature I've got coming up, so I thought I may as well post it up here as well; even though doing it makes me feel a bit ill! I hate having to do promotion; I need a patron who'll just pay me to draw whatever I like no questions asked...

Polish (I think!) website JoeMonster stuck some pictures up of mine, so;
witam nowych zwolenników!
And here's an excellent example of Ornella Muti in action. It's 90% the voice I'm sure...



More art soon!

Civil Disobedience

I finally got around to tidying up this old sketch "Civil Disobedience" I did a while ago ready for printing (I've been meaning to for ages!)
Now available in the print shop!


Also, a little sketch of a "War-Wagon" from The Sisterhood for Cinema Sewer

Geeky Girls

Geeky girls are great.
Just a quick sketch...

Fallout and Front

Here's the final version of the Fallout pic. I spent far longer on this than I meant to!

Anyone who's been round to my house knows that nestled in my magazine rack next to Bizarre and the occasional New Scientist they can usually find the latest issue of Front. For the people who don't live in the UK, Front is sort of a lads mag, but instead of being filled with pictures of WAG wannabees and ex- big brother contestants in bikinis, it features loads of alt models covered in tats, features about music festivals and lots of articles/interviews with cool bands. So right up my street basically.
I might be being mental but look at these two pictures scanned in from the most recent issue, put side by side with some of my pics.

Weird right? Fronts interest in art seems to mostly be limited to things printed on T-shirts or skateboards so I doubt it's anything more than coincidence. Although if anyone reading this does happen to work at Front, drop me line!
More stuff from excellent photographer Zoe Mcconnell can be found here.

Lydia Darling

I've just finished a piece for the multi-talented cabaret artist Lydia Darling.


The print will shortly be available in the print site, in the meantime why not go and check out her spanking new website and be amazed at her huge array of skills!

Fallout

I may have been playing too much Fallout.
::edit:: update


looks crap at the minute, but it's still in progress...

Oil Painting Again . . .

I've started trying to get back on track with my painting again; I did a quick one a while ago that was horrid, and it made me lose all motivation (easy to do when you've got a massive backlog of other cool stuff to get started on!). But I finally made myself pick up the brushes and try and get back into it. Here are a couple of pics, both done from photo reference.
This first one is just a warmup/practice done over a couple of days:

This one is a still unfinished attempt to get more realistic colours going on rather than the monotone approach I'd been doing previously. I'll post up the finished version when it's done.


Hope you like!

Another pic for Cinema Sewer, this time of Megaforce.


Reader Matt kindly sent in a photo of a tattoo he had done of my Nina Kate pic:
