Hits of the month: Låt Den Rätte Komma In, Bleak House and, God help me, Gossip Girl. It's my zen TV show! It empties the mind like nothing else.

Voilà! fallait pas rêvasser!

Crime and Punishment

While reading Crime and Punishment I decided to make my own cover in the vein of Penguin Classics. I've just started Book IV, it's fantastic.


"It was about eight o'clock and the sun was going down. The heat was still as oppressive as before, but he greedily breathed the dusty, foul-smelling, contaminated air of the town. His head began to feel ever so slightly dizzy; a wild kind of energy flared up in his sunken eyes and pallid wasted face. He did not know, or stop to think, where he was going; he knew only one thing: that he must finish with all this today, once and for all and at once; that otherwise he would not go back home, because he would not live like this!

Keen as...

I've been doing some Illos for the rad comedy magazine Mustard. I recently spent £1 on a sandwich without mustard that made me feel sick, for the same price I could have had laughter and Mustard. The moral is; go buy Mustard. You can purchase it from their website, in Borders or at Gosh Comics...


... Satan Says So. I couldn't help vamping up such a sexy image. She looks kinda like Megan Fox. I put it down to subliminal brainwashing as I just watched Transformers for the first time. My favourite version is Post-Nuke-Foxy:


The drawings are for spoof magazine covers and haven't been treated for publishing yet, but I did my own treatment for "Enjoy!". The accompanying article is written by a man who is purported to be "taller than Jesus" and this man who made me laugh at the Poodle Club, especially when bringing the audience's attention to my friend's police record. Good show sir!

Cuckoo

Not this human sadness,
cuckoo,
but your solitary cry.

Schiele Boy

We could all learn from the Koi.

Hollow Poppies

The public's favourite celebrity martyr. Lo! She rises again.

Manumissions

From Almodovar's Todo Sobre Mi Madre. They look like a mischevious devil and angel at play to me.


Supermodels look uncomfortable. Who wants to look like a coathanger? All contorted, wiry and stiff.



Bad Day.

LIVE TONIGHT ONLY!

I have started doodling fictional gig posters at work. I like making up nonsensical band names with a theme.

Money is a Bitch.

I'm still scannerless but I kinda like the deep focus effect of taking a photo of a sketch.

Money is a Bitch



Saw this guy walking around Shoreditch, matching flouro wheel and all. Bollocks to the in-crowd, they look ridonculous to me. I gave him the power of the speech bubble.

Sketch update!

No Sale

After a few "no sale"s on the till at work this lady presented herself to me in my sketchbook.

Some Pin-ups

Getting ready for San Diego Comic-Con 2008! I have a mile long shopping list so I won't be packing much. Really looking forward to the Masquerade, I just hope I get seats!

So I've been doing some pin-ups of my faves for pure, giddy fun.

I think Lucifer (DC/Vertigo Comics) looks just like David Bowie so I rendered him thusly. Also, a Y the Last Man playing card theme pin-up and I coloured my old X-Men Annual 33# Pin up of the psychic warriors Selene and Emma. Not happy with it, I'll put stormy clouds in one day.
