Pugeon

My most recent illustration inspired by a dream I had which featured a pug that had pigeon wings. I was quite taken with him and had to draw him out so I didn't forget the dream.

We heard from the lettings agent this morning and have a definate move in date, it's all quite exciting. Although I hate packing and everything is a little hectic at the moment and I'm going to quite badly miss having such easy access to London (and my parents!) I'm so looking forward to living in Norwich for a while and having an actual house with our own garden and going to see the largest collection of British teapots!

Comics I've Read Vol.3

I enjoyed all of these in different ways but in particular Lone Wolf and Cub is beautifully drawn, I look forward to finding the next volumes.

I have not died....

.... but my internet did. Hence the lack of anything from me around here for a while.
I'll hopefully update some stuff soon now that we're online again (no thanks to talk talk) but we're moving house very soon (yay!) so no doubt we'll be without internet again for a while before too long so I'm going to make the most of it in the most productive ways possible, hopefully.
Now to have a sneaky peek at what I've been missing...

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.
