Branching out in evil // Aorta Burst Film Club zine

I was approached by Aorta Burst – who hold a monthly film night at Roxy Bar & Art – to contribute to their zine. This month the theme is Indonesian Horror and this guy is my interpretation of a Pocong basically a ghost wrapped in a shroud. Pretty odd looking creatures, decided to make mine more dead looking than they often are.

Get ye down to London Bridge this evening for two films and a zine featuring this drawing for a mere £3! 

Hopefully more in this vein to come next month!

Foxy Evolution

... or perhaps that should be devolution or de-evolution for tis in reverse order. It took me a while and a few foxes before I hit upon the right pose and style for the fox to accompany a fox themed story by Michael Reid in our forthcoming animal themed short story book. Thought you might like to see the process. 

To see the finished drawing in context and with the story that influenced it's creation you will have to wait 'til April.

To Dry For – Tea Towel Competition 2013

The lovely folks over at To Dry For are running their tea towel competition again. Here is my entry this year, hope you like it. It's like, a visual joke, innit.

Animals (working title) // WIP

Coming some time in the first half of 2013 (nice an non committal there) a NEW book from Monster Emporium Press, featuring animal inspired short stories from Michael Reid & Mira Mattar and  illustrations in response from yours truly.  It is going to mega (tho not literally, physically it will be small but perfectly formed).

A preview for your glorious eye holes.

Sri Lanka Frogmouth // WIP

I drew this guy the other day. Just for the heck of it. Think I missed drawing birds. Will finish and scan properly later. He could do with a watercolour paint job I reckon.

Brave New World // House of Illustration & Folio Society Competition (3/4)

So this year the House of Illustration competition is to illustrate Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, a terrifying warning of a dystopic future of uniformity and control. The deadline approaches and I find myself in a much better state of completion than I normally do at this time of year, go me. Just one more illustration to go! 

 Wish me luck! One year I will get somewhere with this competition, oh yes i shall.

Coming Soon to a shop near you ...

if you live in Crystal Palace or Brixton, also if you live inside the internet, lucky you if you do, I imagine your life to be like that of Lawnmower Man but less 90's.

Anyway ... Christmas Cards!!!!!!!

... and not so Christmas cards.
