Lone Graduate

Hey kids!

I graduated almost a year ago, and boy have I been busy.

I've been lucky enough to do some stuff with WPP, 

Foyles and I'm currently working on a comic strip, which I'll get into later.

Man, the origin of this image is a little lame to be honest. I though of it a little after graduation day. After the ceremony I managed to lose almost all of my friends.

Its silly, but one of the things I was looking forward to was taking the super duper clichéd 'throw your hats in the air' picture with all the friends I'd spent the last 3-4 years with. But i couldn't find them, because I misplaced my phone, and they took one without me.

You know, not the end of the world.

I though about ways of managing to recreate a moment I narrowly missed, 

and ended up drawing this.

So I in a way I did get the photo I wanted,

with all the characters I've created,

who have helped me get to where I am today!

See I told you it was a little sad.

Once you're done laughing have a listen to this!

Redux & Errors

So yeah, I've been gone for a long time. A long long time.
This is just a short message noting that I do intend to return.

Here's a super quick digital sketch, I never do those.

Be prepared, this blog's layout shall be slightly updated, at some point,
so if things appear to just look plain wrong at some point soon, don't worry,
it'll be sorted soon.

If you read that back in a years time and think the same thing,
either I've gone wrong or I'm now insulted.

Also, if you actually know what I've drawn here, you're a certainly a friend of mine.

Hey, we made it through the night!
Cue an added dose of nostalgia!

From Above: The Resurrection of Don Giovanni

Once again, an older project.
This time we had to create a piece of narrative based loosely off of Mozart's opera Don Giovanni. My take on the original narrative transformed into a story of betrayal in which an Aquarian angel figures out it has the unique ability to kill people
and fellow immortals in a godless heaven.
Here are 3 images taken from the original 7 piece sequential narrative:

 'From Above IV-VI'
[Gouache on 250gsm Pure White Paper]

These have been done for a while. Remember?

I mean, cut back to half a year ago and you'll find me discussing painting, and how from time to time no matter how much I love the outcome, it can become a serious life-bane.

This is what lead me to that micro-discussion.

Notice how I've only put up 3/7 paintings? Well I think the rest need some substantial tweaking. If you ever see them, they'll hopefully be part of an upcoming publication.


My comrade Kenny, the good man behind YEAIKNOW brought it to my attention that my blog is mostly full of sketchbook work, and I should put more finished work up here. That's why this wild project has suddenly appeared after all this time.

The reason behind this is because believe it or not, I can be very merticulous with things. The more I grow up the more I find myself overanalysing things actually. I do a lot of projects, many that at the point of technically finishing, I don't see as 'finished', so I hold on to these projects, hiding them from the world, because my personal standards, according to others are too goddamn high.

Even though I've written this, aware of this fault of mine, I'm finding it very hard to change;
as I said earlier, this project needs tweaking,
but that's just according to me.

Fresh Kristmas Air

In-jokes for the win.

For all those I have alienated with this post,
I hope you've at the very least enjoyed these images.

Vomiting Thoughts

The last couple of days I've been working on a sign for my door, as I still feel my room lacks character even after living in this flat for a few months.

Nothing says "welcome to my room" more than a cartoon portrait of one's self.

It's just one of the things that will make my room eventually feel like it's mine.

Finished: Now come on in and...

Ah, to go with all the festive cheer, I added little optional Christmas hat, I think I'll give him a memento for each holiday approaching whilst I'm around in the flat... I guess next is Valentines Day.

That's always a good day.
