Oldest picture I have in my collection. I was 2 when I drew this.

I'm going to be uploading a few golden oldies over the next few weeks, so stay tuned.

Page from a little sketchbook I kept last year. I think I drew it in my lunch hour.

00048

Just finished this. Working on a larger piece as well at the moment.
More to come soon.

Designing characters in the second year of uni.

Piece of crappy wood I did a sketch on a few years back.

I just finished a few commisions for the band Fall of the Albatross in preparation for their new album 'Enormous Cloud' coming out later this year. These two pieces will be used for t-shirts, banners and other promotional materials and are designed to match elements from the album artwork.

 

Potentially more FOTA work to come soon, watch this space.

00043

Spacemen from various sketchbooks.

Quick editorial piece I did at Uni about flying the coop.
2009 I think.

Another oldie. I originally uploaded this self portrait in 2007.

It was based on the work of Thomas Ott, one of my favourite illustrators to this day. I recommend looking at his stuff.

00039

I have a feeling that this may have been a first year piece which would make it about 5+ years old. I cant remember completely though.

Anyway, I just had a little meander around my hard drive, found it, and in the spirit of 'doing my blog properly', I thought I would post it.

I think the project was simply called 'Florists'.

00038

As I havn't done my blog for a while, I thought I would start with something from my 2013 folder. I have quite a few things so show that I have been holding back until the time is right.

The picture below is the visual I made for a sleeve I was recently commissioned to design.

Below you can see the progress so far. It will take a few sittings, but as you can see, most of the linework is already completed.

I will post updates as and when they come through.

Need to finish another commision for Fall of the Albatross and then onto some work for Thomas Allen before I can start another self directed piece.

Busy times ahead, but I will have plenty to show for it.

'Dancing Man'

Part of a project I did at uni, 2010 I think.

Also, I found the seperate layers from post '00035', so I made a quick .gif of my process.

00036

A sketch from when I was teaching myself digital painting.

Another quick one from 2010.

Going to do a more in depth post in a few days, but need to get some stuff out of the way first.

00032

Blogception.

I drew this last year, and as I recently wrote a blog about it for work here, I thought it was the perfect time to feature it here.

00031

The post a day idea has fallen apart. So it's going to be a post every 2 or 3 days now which should be far more sustainable.

This post is from my second year at university. It was a project in which we had to visualise cowboys surrounding a tin of beans. I thought I would add some of my workings to give it some context.

Another page from one of my sketchbooks, 2009.

I draw a lot of bald men looking into the middle distance when I sketch. I just always forget to put hair on people until its too late.

Re-motherfucking-plen.


Some of the sketches I did when it was quiet at my old work. Three guesses where that was.

00027

'I need that to live (2)'

Page from an old sketchbook. Pencils and fineliner. 2009 I think.

00026

'Burial of the Dead'

First time I used such tightly knit patterns. 2009, I think

Todays post is a sketch that I intended to use for a little animation that I started last year, but never got around to fnishing.

Who knows, maybe I'll finish it at some point.

00023

I was very busy yesterday and unable to post. So I will have to make up with two posts today.

This first post is from my first year at uni, its one of the oldest pictures I have a digital copy off to hand.

00021

Never finished colouring this drawing.

The Story of the Rabbit.

Probably my first intensly patterned piece. For a project towards the start of the 3rd year of uni.

Below is the unaltered scan that makes the final piece and the original drawing from my sketchbook.

00015

This picture is from 2011. Even though I like the detailing on the bird, I never thought it was good enough to promote so it's just been sitting around. It's meant to be a Cowboy esque, alien exectution scene. Cheery as always.

A bit of an exciting post today. I managed to get two weeks of daily posts to my blog to align with publishing my updated website. I've been working on and off for about 5 months trying to renovate it, and now its out of the way I can get on with actaul drawings.

The above image is from late 2010 when I originally designed my last website. It was intended to be a welcome screen, but I never got it to work, and as such, it was never seen. Today seemed like the perfect day to dust it off.

You can view my website here.

Made this Business Card towards the end of my 3rd year at uni. 

The above image is a file I created for a bit of home printing. Below is the finished article.

Tomorrow will be two weeks of daily posts.
