i am i Project - Update

Last year I was involved with creating the illustrated and design content for the 'i am i' Project created and facilitated by Kate Brown.

This artwork has now been donated to the childrens ward of Letterkenny General Hospital, Co.Donegal, Ireland.

Here's a report from online local news, Donegal News.

Chuffed to have work I've done on such a fun project find a home in the hospital I was born in (contrary to popular belief, I didn't land from space Gonzo-style).

Sketchbook 011

A few pages from a little A5 sketchbook I've got...

New Empress Magazine - Strip Nude for Your Killer

An illustration created for the latest edition of New Empress magazine to accompany a piece on 1970s Italian giallo (Italian horror/thriller films from the early 70's which contained pretty extreme sex and violence and pre-dated American slasher films) 'Strip Nude for Your Killer'.

A Notion Deep Inside..

Last year, it was a Gram Parsons piece for my brother's 40th,this year it's my sisters turn and she gets this Bruce Springsteen piece as she's a massive, massive fan (not long back from seeing a home town concert in New Jersey).

It's A3 dimensions and created using pencil, watercolour, ink and charcoal.

I probably lose Brucie Bonus Points as the image is from the 'Born to Run' photoshoot and lyrics are from 'Badlands' to be found on 'Darkness on the Edge of Town'.

London Comic Con MCM Expo - Next Weekend...

I'm taking part in the Comic Village at London MCM Comic Con next weekend, on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th October.

Will be selling comics, prints, cards and original work.

A two-pager I've just completed...

For this I wanted to channel (rip-off) the boldness and abstraction in the E.C. work of Harvey Kurtzman. If you're going to steal, steal from the best etc.etc.

I also wanted it to be inkwork and inkwork alone, no post-scan texures, Photoshop shading etc. applied.

True Love is Like the Loch Ness Monster

This is a book cover illustration I created for Helen Cox, editor of New Empress film magazine, of which I create regular illustrated content for. It's a collection of film essays and criticism.

The cover concept was from a frankly bizarre (but fun) brief from Helen.

I also created the type treatment.

It can be bought through here.
