Cocker

A sketch I did earlier tonight of Jarvis Cocker (he was staring out at me from the cover of the NME and I couldn't resist). I might work this up into a finished drawing at some point.

Posca Tree Canvas

Another Posca doodle on canvas. At least when you start doodling on canvas it actually feels like you've achieved something when it's finished. Did I mention I like drawing trees?

Canvas

This is a canvas I started to draw on last night. I started out drawing a girl and drew a few locks of hair. I enjoyed drawing the hair so much I just carried on drawing until I filled the canvas. Once I added the red it stopped looking like hair and, to be honest, I don't know what it is now. I was just enjoying drawing the shapes. This is what happens when you take two brush tip POSCA pens, start in the top left hand corner and just carry on.

ISPO, Munich.

I'm back from a weekend of intensive drawing in Munich. I've recently been working with the clothing company Extreme Raw State on a range of t-shirts and hoodies and was invited over to ISPO in Munich to spend some time on the stand drawing. Over two days I must have given away about 50-60 drawings and decorated a snowboard and a skateboard. Sorry for the quality of the photos of the Monster board but it was bolted onto a desk and the only way I could have taken a decent picture of it would have been to suspend myself from the ceiling. So these'll have to do. I had a great weekend there and met some great people. I also managed to finally meet Jon Burgerman who was doing his thing on the Rip Curl stand in the neighbouring hall. What a nice bloke (although after seeing the size of the wall he was doodling on and the degree of detail he'd put into it I'm beginning to fear for his mental health!). I'll hopefully get some pics soon of the clothes. I'll post those too. Louise AKA Felt Mistress made some gigantic Kaiju to decorate the stand. I wish I had a pound for every person who picked them up and cuddled them. I just wish I'd had some stock to sell.

Merry Christmas!

Here's one of this year's Christmas card. Every year I do four different designs. This year I've incorporated all four designs on each card, each member of the band has their turn on the front. Some of the previous years variations are on my website in the illustration section.

Thanks for all the great comments I've had since starting this blog and thanks to (amongst others) Drawn! and Forbidden Planet for giving it such a plug. There's plenty more to come next year. Y'all come back now, y'hear?
