Willard

Saw this film the other day, it's about a guy who befriends the rats in his basement and then uses them to take revenge on the people making his life misserable. The movie has some real nice imagery, especially when a lift full to the brim with rats opens, and they all fall away to reveal willard stood in the middle, this is sort of my take on that little scene.

Breach

Another piece of linework for my neglected gallery. this was a piece of concept art i did for a comic my pal piggi was writing called Breach, about random things, from monsters to chunks of mountain ranges, appearing on earth from another dimension.

The Egg Crushers Children, first page inks

This is the first page of a comic i'm working on with the writer Chris McCance here in edinburgh. I'm not sure how far i'll be going with this in terms of colour/ grey scale shading etc since it's a pretty big story and at the minute i'm just working on a six page sample and a few other designs, but i thought i'd upload this anyways since my page has been looking a bit neglected of late

Flight of the Ice Cream Man

This here's my entry for the Leeds Thought Bubble comic convention competition, to create a single page story about November in the north of england, enjoy.

The Egg Crushers Children: Character sketches

Thought I'd post a couple of sketches for a comic book i've been working on with writer Chris McCance for the past couple of months, been working too much to have done as much as i'd have liked to, but it's finally starting to take shape. I did a few of these on a3 and i only have an a4 scanner, incase you were wondering about the joins down the middle.

aaaaand just one more...

One of my favourite posts so far, it wouldn't fit on the last post.

More Sky Fish (again)

So i've kind of been working on this on and off for nearly a year i think now, which i've decided is far too long. Which is why I've decided to make one last push to get it finished. I only have about ten pages left to colour, but I'm sending what I do have to publishers in the next coulple days.

Yo Yo Yo

I'm still alive! My blog has been totally neglected again but I have been drawing. Got a couple new random pieces to put up, aswel as some sketches for a comic i'm working on with a writer from up in edinburgh, it's goin to be good, so look out for the sketches and random bits i'll be posting. and i'll try to post more regularly too.

My Eyes Hurt

Cafe Pieces

I've been working on these for quite a while as I've been making books etc at the same time, but i finally got them done and put up at the cafe this afternoon. I'm pretty pleased with how they've turned out, they were originally grey sale but I was asked to colour them, they do look better coloured but the grey underneath makes the colours a bit muddy, i was going for something a bit brighter.







Appologies for the slightly bad photo quality...

A bit more Sky Fish

Just a wee update to let you know how the book's coming along.

Lila & the Sky Fish

So, it's not so long until my next exhibition, I've been working away on a childrens book for it and hope to have a few black and white zine style copies to sell for it. The story is about a little girl who puts a butterfly on a fishing line and catches a big flying fish that carries herin to the sky, dangling from her fishing rod, where she see's a lot of fairly random animals living in the clouds. I'll have a few colour pages to sell aswel, here's a couple i have done already, let me know what you think.x

Back From The Dead

I Just realised I haven't updated my blog pretty much all year. I've been working away on a childrens book the past couple months, which should hopefully be done in the next week or two (in black and white at least, so i'll put a few pages up when i'm done).

I've another little exhibition starting the 9th of april with the Gin Palace collective again so if anybodies in Glasgow over that weekend then call in and check out some of the amazing folks displaying and selling work.
