Sketchbook Stuff!

Just Some sketchbook work I've done lately!

Drew this ghostly lady whilst listening to Wish You Well by Dum Dum Girls. Such a lovely song *sigh*

...Of course, I'm anticipating the new Metal Gear Solid V game!

Listening to Colour Me Wednesday. I'll be creating some art for them soon for their new album!

Ahhhh, the lovely Perkie, do listen to her stuff. Her voice is like honey. I think she's secretly a member of Fox Hound but I'm not sure...

Haha, this is Dale, a contestant from Masterchef 2013. I just thought he'd look good as a sailor oright! Gawd. 

The Boss, Big Boss's mentor. One of the most human characters in the Metal Gear Solid franchise. She is amazing.

Colour Me Wednesday & The Tuts T-shirts/patches

Here are some process shots of some patches, tote bags and t-shirts we're making for The Tuts and Colour Me Wednesday. They'll be sold When The Tuts are touring the UK with Kate Nash in a few weeks.

'Thunderbird' and 'History of Disaster'

Hello!

Here are some illustrations I did for two children's educational books for Triumph Learning. The top set titled: 'Thunderbird' and the second set, 'History of Disaster'

T-Shirt Design Competition: Plan-It-X Records

I won! These were for a lovely indie record label t-shirt competition and my cat design was the winner. The label, run by Chris Clavin, promotes a positive, DIY ethos in the punk community. Here's the Plan-It-X Records site.

'Plague: A Cross on the Door'

Just finished some illustrations for an educational children’s fiction, here’s a few. It’s based on historical fact, so I had to be pretty accurate with the clothing and environment,  which was fun. The story is about a family living through plague in 16th century London.

Sketchbook Stuff: Grimes and Catwoman

Hello,

Just some sketchbook stuff I've been doing.

Winter In Paris

Thought I’d heed some advice from my agent and start working on themes and subjects focusing on seasonal imagery, representation of POC, children, landmarks, different countries. I enjoyed this one, wanted a windy, wintery feel, but with some of those lovely autumnal colours added in. 

Ink Sketch: The Tuts

Here is The Tuts gang, consisting of Bev, Nadia and Hat. These will be used for merchandise!

'Story Sharers' - Community Project

Made a small contribution to a local community project about, well people sharing their stories I guess. Stories people have been told as children, stories written by children; personal stories, all sorts. A selection of these will be published in a small book for people to buy locally. I’ve illustrated a few of them, here are some of my faves.

Sketchbook Stuff

Not feeling well! Here's some sketchbook stuff I've been doing to pass the time.

 Food & Drink - here's Perkie sipping away and Jen with an orange on her face.

 Fashion - I like that tartan blazer thing and the braids.

Wildlife - an inky lion.

The Tuts girl gang girl

Hello!

Just a t-shirt/patch/tote bag/anything else design I did for The Tuts again. An all-girl, 3-piece, raucous punk band. 

Inspiration taken from Switchblade Sisters (1975), 80’s hairdos and The Tuts.

After doing This I started looking at Love & Rockets a comic series by the Hernandez brothers which, deals with similar themes to this  illustration: punk, lots of good female characters and black and white artwork!

Kate Nash Signed My Sketchbook!

Kate Nash signed my sketchbook! This was when The Tuts were supporting her at The Shacklewell Arms. Picking an animal from it, she said she quite like bongos, haha. I gave her that ink doodle I did of her in return.
