2012-02-16T21:41:00.001Z

i am a genius

here's that left-handed comic so far.

2012-02-14T16:50:00.003Z

hi. i broke my drawing hand. and my laptop. (not at the same time, though that'd be interesting!). so i've started a left-handed comic. apparently my scanner and my dad's laptop have fallen out, so here's a super high quality webcam photo of what it's looking like so far:

bare skillz.

how i see things.

terrible photo of the boobs poster for the new campaign. click the picture for more info.

2011-12-13T11:38:00.000Z

Stayed up all night doing this for the exhibition. Still not finished.

Also did this!

Have some more boobies.

2011-12-13T02:32:00.000Z

Due to my printer being too up it's own arse for cheap yellow cartridges (yet accepting the rest of them? colourist bastard.) I've had to shift the focus of Wednesday's exhibition. Out with the bul*, in with the boobs!

Bulimia. Obviously. Keep up!

Life drawing.

2011-12-07T23:36:00.001Z

By "life drawing" I mean a quick sketch of myself dancing topless to freak someone out on Skype. They wanted me to show the world.

It made them cry.

ANOTHER POSTER.

2011-12-07T23:29:00.001Z

Boobies.

2011-12-07T03:32:00.001Z

This is pretty much what I'm working on for the next few days.

Oh hi, old sketchbook from Uni.

Boobs are brilliant.

Another poster.

I have a shop now! YEAH!

Christmas Cards!

2011-12-02T20:33:00.001Z

Right. Posters.

2011-11-30T01:55:00.001Z

First two done.

Quotage.

2011-11-29T01:45:00.001Z

The beginning of a few posters I appear to be doing for people's walls.

I'm sure stickers and whatnot will happen.

Inspiration, yo!

2011-11-25T17:48:00.001Z

I am discovering the joys of having a lightbox, however slowly.

bulimia sucks.

2011-11-22T01:25:00.001Z

Pretty much done. Feel free to print, copy, cut, fold, distribute.

2011-11-20T23:53:00.001Z

Next two pages of bulimia zine. INFORMATION OVERLOAD.

Sap.

2011-11-16T19:48:00.001Z

While rummaging through some draws for articles in old magazines for a friend, I cam across these two postcards. I made one for each of my five best friends... hope I find the others. These are OLD.

Tummies.

2011-11-16T01:16:00.001Z

Also happening is a series of mini-zines about stuff the world needs to know (mostly stuff I've learnt along the way). The first is a bunch of facts about bulimia that will hopefully help to get rid of this stupid idea the media gives us of thin people throwing up their meals, help people suffering with it, and ideally take the idea of ever throwing up for that first time out of the reader's head forever.

These are the first two pages. The colouring is awful, but this will be rectified. For now, I'm assuming a girl vulnerable to the disorder would attempt some terrible tan in an attempt to look how she feels she should. (Yes, to actually be bulimic you need to be preoccupied with your appearance.)

I wish everyone knew what I had to go through hell to find out.

Christmas is coming.

2011-11-14T20:16:00.001Z

I'm currently working on some cards for the worldwide geek / whovian community.

Here are some progress pictures from Twitter. I'll scan them when they're finished.

Ignore my face in this last one. Boredom and video calls are a bad mix.

2011-10-06T02:25:00.002+01:00

i found this in a car park the other day. it's part of a commission i did at the beginning of summer and never got round to scanning. yeah..

2010-12-07T20:02:00.001Z

more to come. obv.

2010-11-26T00:47:00.007Z

put a sharpie on a toilet and you start a community art project.
the first one started off fairly innocently...

but the inevitable happened;

justice is a mustice.

2010-11-02T14:55:00.003Z

long time no poster. hence confusing, cluttered mess.
but babar's touring.

2010-10-26T18:22:00.005+01:00

i found these. i want to colour them in but i am too scared that the ink will run. i really can't remember what pen i was using 3 years ago.

hate people making you think you're fat so you buy their products.

YOU ARE NOT FAT, WOMAN!!

2010-08-19T22:21:00.002+01:00

why do they fail to specify the purpose of the sachet's contents?
and excuse the awful colouring, i'm ill.

so i'm ill...

2010-08-18T22:36:00.001+01:00

and my scanner still fucks with colour...

sniiiiffffff.

absorbant paper.

2010-08-10T21:27:00.002+01:00

trying out different ways of using filigree with the objects using a template by the client. lightboxes are a godsend. the text is traced straight from it... as are some random bits that look weird. when this is finished i can sort it out. what a mess.
spot the pen change.

filigree horse-thing

2010-07-30T19:14:00.001+01:00

more fun.

filigree

2010-07-30T18:01:00.003+01:00

is pretty boring and hard to concentrate on... but looks aight when it's done so a sense of achievement occurs. hmm.

scruggling!

2010-07-28T21:09:00.004+01:00

..is the official word to describe the act of scribbling stuff smugglers used to smuggle back in the days classic piratey pirates.

i'm re-vamping a poster/flyer for an actress doing smuggler's walk around swanage town. much less scarier than the ghost walks of poole.... *shudder*

since before the essay/animation combo i haven't really had a chance to draw, so excuse the lack of skill.

ps.
i WILL try to keep a bit of explanation going alongside drawings -if needed, as this is meant to be a blog... but i am easily distracted and awful at managing my time. so no promises.

2010-04-24T22:32:00.004+01:00

mike just seems to love doing the splits! this time it's lovable ben childs who left sonic boom six to get married and do solo stuff. and as ben likes the last stuff i did for mike wanted in. so here they are on tour:

mike has a strange new website;
mikescott.me.uk

clegg, do this.

2010-04-17T00:59:00.002+01:00

give girls more student loan then men.

they buy luxuries while we buy tampons, bras, and more crap "necessities" like make-up and hair removal products. oh and the morning after pill if shit happens .... pregnancy tests? and chocolate to deal with hormones. and whatever else the media tells us will solve the problems they created.

not. fair.

how awful is this? texty texty bad compo.

2010-03-06T23:49:00.003Z

"your tutors have a responsibility to educate you properly, and if they're making you reference nothing but contemporary illustration, they are failing massively. it's your degree, you should demand more."
-david foldvari.

if your tutors do that, like mine, and it fustrates you, like it does me, have a read of this.

narrative...

2010-03-05T13:04:00.003Z

good luck figuring out what this is about. after bsing it on a book and experience of student living i found about 6 different possible stories in this. have a play.

dogs are universal.

2010-01-19T13:52:00.009Z

universal; existing or prevailing everywhere.

they woof all over the world.
they woof all over my house.

stickers 2.

2010-01-18T23:59:00.003Z

these scanned better for some reason. exact same procedure and circumstances. more proof that everything is alive and conscious :]
i wanted to do 155 breeds but time failed. i also think egyptian dogs are the shit.

stickers

2010-01-18T00:03:00.002Z

my scanner decided to bugger these up so the contrast is down.. but you still can see them properly. they look pretty cool in real life though. only about 100 left to do! :)

more woofs.

2010-01-17T01:10:00.003Z

right. better write something...
my brief is to visually explain 'the universal'. after lots of swine flu, being poor and having no means to research into the standard styles of visual explanation i decided i wanted to draw animals after doing some for graham. dogs are universal aren't they? oh, they just happen to be my favourite animal too. wonderful. simple idea - getting them everywhere, hence the post-its below, i photocopied 200 of the cretins. these luggage tags will be tied to... i'm not sure what yet. but luggage means travelling which can go all over the world. aren't i clever. oh yeah. apparently my mind works is strange ways and i should never receive a brief till the day before hand-in. works for me!

post-its.

nick's birthday card / the new housemates

summer shite

2009-10-19T01:29:00.003+01:00

i didn't get a chance to do as much drawing as i wanted to over summer, due to working so much and being in such high demand to socialise..... and finding a new man who stole the majority of my time. but anyway. trying to experiment with colour and different materials.... none of the rest was worth uploading.

this is the boyf's kitten, mimi. she has much bigger eyes in real life. i've turned her into a cat somehow.

although this looks nothing like her, lily allen being a complete hypocrite HAD to be documented.

and this is mid-sentence in some massive rant sparked from allen's appearance on elle magazine. the typography is hideous. none of the fonts i looked at quite hit the spot though. it looked like it'd work as an alphabet, but no. it's disgusting. frank's alright though!

bit of old..

2009-10-19T01:05:00.004+01:00

this is an old sketchbook cover i made celebrating the friendship of my friend jim and myself... after a good few months of crushing on him hard. i finally stopped and appreciated our relationship for what it actually was :)

below is a spread from within another old sketchbook showing part of the development of how my character style came about.

and this, old again, is the begins of lisa comics style. i just plan and record everything in some kinda story-telling fashion.

my babies:

here's some ancient observationals. the first is part of the view from my bedroom window. second is on swanage pier, and the third is durlston lighthouse. i got sunburnt feet drawing them.
