Sketching

Some quick sketches I did yesterday out of an issue of Oh Comely magazine photographed on my phone.

May the fourth be with you!

We Are 5

William and I had our 5th anniversary yesterday, we were going to go to the Henry Moore exhibition but it was more expensive than we thought so we went to the lake instead because that's free and we had a lovely day.

5 years doesn't seem right because it feels more like he's always been there and hopefully he always will be :)

Love you William!

There are some digital photos too on my flickr.

The first and last photo were taken by William and for those interested the film is Polaroid 600, our last one, only 4 photos left :( and it expired September 2009.

Box

Last night William sorted out his wooden box full of bits.
There were quite a few bits I'd like to steal...

Comics I've Read Vol.2

The other day I was sorting and throwing out a load of stuff that should have been sorted and thrown out years ago and I realised that when I said Tank Girl was my first proper venture into comics it was kind of a lie. When I was at high school I started reading Kerrang magazine and from my very first issue I started cutting out and keeping the Pandora strips. As my tastes evolved I stopped reading Kerrang and after a few years Pandora-less it turned out a friend of mine at uni bought it every week and my love for collecting Pandora strips was fuelled once more when he offered me the strips when he was done with the magazine. I haven't seen her in a while but I hope she's still going.
Ray Zell is one of those typical art types that doesn't update his website but there is quite a bit on there.

More recently, I've just finished the Best of American Splendour.
Having never read any of it before it took some time before I stopped expecting a typical ending and just accepted that they were snippets of life rather than made up stories that end neatly and ended up really enjoying it.

New Zine!

The zine is now available in the shop!Some of the illustrations for this I think will end up available as prints too, I'm really proud of it.
Hope you like it :)

Shop Update

I've been listing things in the shop this past week (a few of which are pictured) and there's still quite a bit to be added this coming week too.
Hope you like it.

All the drawing/painting for the zine is almost done. I've spent the afternoon on photoshop fiddling with page layout and such like so that once all the drawing is finished there is less to do all in one go. I really don't like using photoshop, it bores me half to death.
I think I'll make up for it by spending the rest of the afternoon working on a blanket I'm in the middle of making.

Hope your weekends are going well :)
