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:

This Is So Wrong!

Some of my large framed pics have found a temporary home at the aptly titled "This Is So Wrong!" exhibition at the Resistance Gallery in Bethnal Green. If you're a Londoner head on over, there is tons of stuff by other great artists as well!

Candy speedpaint

A speedpaint from the largely forgotten 1968 film Candy. Given that it stars the stunning Ewa Aulin I'm not entirely sure how I ended up sketching Walter Matthau, but rest assured I'll rectify this shocking ommision at some point in the future!

I did another little interview on the excellent carmenicadiaz.net (sort of NSFWish).
I'll try and make sure I get some more art up here soon as well rather than just loads of posts about info!

Sweeeet!!!
Got an small writeup in Juxtapoz online, going by the title they've given it I imagine it came via HorrorSleazeTrash. Thanks BJS!

::edit::
Wooot!!
And a thing on Pinup and Cartoon Girls! I'm all over the interwebs today!

HorrorSleazeTrash

I did an interview and a header pic for the good folks over at HorrorSleazeTrash.
Go and check it out!

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!
