Soupa Market.

Along with the other wonderful folks at the Soupa Network (www.soupa.co.uk), we shall have a 'Soupa Market' stall at the Brick Lane Christmas Market this year, as of the 18th of December!

A lot of the artists and creatives from Soupa will be selling handmade products such as greetings cards, tee shirts, screen prints, prints, original artwork and all manners of various gifts and cool things that no self-respecting human should go without. If you can, please come down, at least to say hello!
Here is the special location of the market, and by special, I mean really badass.

F Block 1st Floor.
Entrances from Ely’s Yard, Brick Lane and Hanbury Street.

As well as greetings cards and prints, I shall also be doing some mini-comics. I'll post more about them closer to the time, but here is a sneak preview of one of my mini-stories. Yup, It had to happen, it was more of a question of when. I present to you; STEREOTYPICAL ENGLISH HAMSTER.

More Mischievous Mogs (Sorry, I had to...)

Here he is, Splodge in his current incarnation. Look at him go! I think I'll upload some more of his progress leading up to this point, but this is what he's currently looking like. It's weird, I'm not very used to using watercolour, I'm definately more in my element with digital painting, but I'll tell you what, I had so much fun using the REAL paints. It's been a suggestion for a while to add more of a 'children's book' feel to my work, so I'm doing a bit of experimentation to mix digital and watercolour together. It's nerve-wracking yet exciting times!

Introducing SPLODGE (VERY initial designs...)

Must-keep-up-with-blog...
Here are some very initial sketches of a new character (new in the sense that I haven't really posted anything to do with him yet, I've been working on him for a few months now, it certainly feels like we've bonded and made the beginnings of a beautiful friendship...) called Splodge. Who is a cat. Quite a grumpy, devious one at that. Hopefully you'll be seeing more of him in the near future (i'll post up some more recent designs soon, he's gone through a few design changes...), I'll keep my fingers crossed. For as I said, Splodge is quite grumpy, and will not be pleased if he remains confined to my sketchbook and computer.

Halloween Flyer

A new White Rabbit Promotions flyer...

BLEEEUURRRGGH, I believe they would say.

A Variety of Things for Your Viewing Pleasure...

Here is the finished article...the final flyer for the RIVALS night. I'm rather chuffed with it all, I must say.

The design above it of the whale is for the clothing line Step Up, which is a company who deal with social and ecological issues, with all profits and proceeds going to charities around the world. I'm not going to get into any big political debates on my blog, but I do feel quite strongly about the whale hunting trade, as I mentioned once earlier in my blog with a similar illustration i did. To watch a species dissapear off the planet for cash is a sickening thought. This design will eventually be a tee design...when the company finally gets up and running (fingers crossed it will be soon.

By the way...I don't only draw animals. Although I do draw a lot fo them. Maybe I should post something else next time...? Either way, here's a sketch of a bear, which is different to all the sea creatures I draw, at least. Although he has been soaked by rain.

Rivals Flyer

A cheeky flyer I did for my friend Amandine and her promotions company Rivals! If you happen to be in the Old Street area of London on the 9th October, make sure you get down there, it promises to be awesome! The link to their myspace is thus:

I imagine this shark having a pretty mighty tenor's voice.
