big creepy bird things

i present for your consideration a study inspired by north american wood carvings and thunderbird legends. It came out fairly well considering that i chose terribly porous paper, and for a while was mixing my paints and inks with lemonade. Now that i look at it it seems awful similair to the skeksis...

sketchbook samplaa

in lieu of some proper finished artwork i thought i would include some extracts from my sketchbook.
My cousin asked me to draw him a superhero character of his, he gave me some very precise instructions which for the most part i forgot. In amongst a couple of iterations of muscly sasquatchian he-men i drew this guy. I remember the musician 'muscles' relating an annecdote on the radio about being electrocuted whislst wearing a string of fairy lights around his neck, it sounded like a good enough way to get superpowers if you ask me.

Feel free to suggest a thought bubble or speech bubble via facebook.


This is an example of a fairly average page in my sketchbook, a smattering of various ideas including some of my cavemen characters, reptiles and general weirdos. There were a couple of prelimenary sketches for the lady in the forest in the artwork i made for my aunts, however the scanner refuses to recognise 6H pencil.

i have returned

Happy new year etc. on that note i thought i would post some more stuff.
as some of you may well know i am fond of drawing bouldiferous (for lack of a real word) looking giants. Here is one i recently painted using inks, the face seems to have come out rather dark compared to the original, and attempts at photoshoping it just left lots of red and green. regardless i am quite fond of the sky.

a christmas present

i made my aunts a picture for christmas. It doesn't really follow any particular rhyme or reason, instead like arkley might have done it is a smattering of concepts, characters, objects etc. I include several excerpts, mostly of odd looking people and creatures. enjoy.

"first post, the post that hurts the most"

yes, what better way to begin than with a quote. I decided i would create myself a blog so that all who care may keep up to date with my artistic doings. I hope you enjoy.
Heres a picture i drew recently, if not directly inspired by me losing my glasses... it well... speaks for itself.


I also made jess a plushie for jess as a kind of late birthday pressie. for those not lucky enough to be on the recieving end of a gift here are some pictures.

I am also busy working away on a comic entitled 'Oviraptor'. I cant say much without rambling so it will just have to suffice to say that he looks like this (the main charcater).
