'Hey Sis' Minicomic

This is a minicomic I did for The Pulp Girl’s first issue of The Pulp Zine. The theme for May is ‘Good Times’. It’s based loosely on Hey Sis, a song by Dum Dum Girls. I really fell in love with the song, although I have no idea what the exact lyrics are, (so if someone knows, please give meeee themmm). It’s about a little girl hanging out with her cool big sis. She really looks up to her and copies absolutely everything she does. She can’t wait to grow up so she can be like her. I can relate to her as I use to love hanging out with my big sis when I was really young. She used to work at Heathrow and have fancy-pants drinks all the time. I can remember she use to save those little cocktail umbrellas for me. I didn't understand why you’d want a tiny umbrella unless you were a teeny mouse or something. Big sisters are totally underrated so this is for them!

'Always Hear The Same Shit!', Mini-comic

This was a fun side project I started almost a year ago when a very upsetting incident took place regarding The Tuts and friends. I didn't know how to express my anger in any way other than through drawing. I wasn't there when it took place but it really saddened me. It’s clunky and awkward since I haven’t done anything comic-wise for absolutely ages but It helped me understand what The Tuts and friends had to go through.

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*

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.

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.

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 Ink Doodle

Hello,

Just an inky doodle I did. If you look carefully you can see my vain efforts to draw her using a dark pencil. Got angry and rubbed it all out and started fresh using a brush pen.

I might be seeing her tomorrow at The Shacklewell Arms, London. Fingers crossed!).

'Always Hear The Same Shit!’

A commision for The Tuts, an all-girl, 3-piece, raucous punk band. they’re wonderful live.

Shadow Snatcher (Wired Up Series)

Hello,

Just received a few copies of Shadow Snatcher from the publisher. This particular one in the series is targeted at a slightly younger audience compared to Petrify, which was a bit more gorey. Shadow Snatcher is written by Lou Kuenzler.

I’ll be working on some colour illustrations hopefully in a few months on a girls classic tales series for QED Publishing, (fingers crossed!).
