'Milk & Sugar'

After stumbling across a rather shakey pub camera phone photo of a friend, dressed as a doll, I started a new painting. This is also my contribution to 'Milk & Sugar'- a facebook group I mentioned in my last post.

This coincides with my current bizarre lusting after the Charlie Chaplin mime in the Brighton south Laines...anyway, post-Mac meltdown, Im doing a lot of work, and theres more to be posted soon.

Dont forget to buy (or steal a look in the shops) at the dirty stories I illustrated in this months Scarlet magazine. Its got Katy Perry on the cover, but dont let that put you off ;)

Meltdown!

Oh dear....its been a bit quiet here cos Ive had to erase my hard drive and reinstall everything.
*sigh*
On the upside, and rather oddly, its meant Ive had a literal cleansing of ideas and half-finished art, as the only stuff I had backed up was old finished pieces. I think it may even have been just the kick I needed to get me thinking fresh thoughts and trying new things.

Starting work on a new painting this week, as well as a super new collaborative thing called Milk&Sugar- right now its just a lil facebook group of a few artist friends, but the idea is to have everyone do something in their chosen medium, that fits in with a different weekly theme- hopefully this will blossom into something and have a website and all that malarkey.
We've started it as a place for slightly more up and coming artists/writers/photographers ect to get a bit of inspiration from others, and also a way of getting our stuff seen.
Check it out eh?

Ive also been helping out with the design and marketing of a friends' massage company. Heres the flyer I made for them:



Meanwhile, back to the great big reinstall...

Happy New Year!

Well Im back from London, after a busy but enjoyable Christmas.
It's been a difficult couple of months for me- moving to a new town, and having A LOT of trouble looking for work to get me on my feet.
Hard as it's been, I'm more or less together now- have some regular work, not to mention a few freelance illustration jobs that can be seen in FORUM magazine and, soon, the February issue of SCARLET magazine.
Next time youre in WHSmiths, have a flick through- Ive illustrated the 'Cliterature' section. :)
For now though, a random drawing Ive been working on.

More to come very soon!
