cycloribbons



Inspired by the return of the cybermen over on Doppelganger's pages... strange how I missed them. I've found some old life in the cyclopoid meme from way back.

excuses excuses



and this is the reason there have been no updates since may, because I've been looking at this view from my horizontal position on a sun-lounger for the past 2 weeks -dreadful innit.

ongoing sleaze


Well, since K80 has put the dampers on the ongoing sleaze theme at Stickerthing by threatening us with womankind's greatest weapon, the scatter cushion; I've elected run off and hide in the corner that is artfuel, where her soft furnishings can't get me.

And to keep posting slightly risque pics.

This one was inspired by an artist called Audrey Kawasaki who has a blog here. I love her stuff, love it. And if she's allowed to do lots of nekkid pictures, well then so can I (only not quite as pretty).

Damn, I've got to stop linking to people who are better than me at this drawing malarky.

Nervous Disposition



As an ongoing series (other bits being the thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity(tbc), and as a cold shower to Strcprstskrzkrk's excitable nature; this is a learning aid from my last set of exams showing the exact courses and relations of the Mandibular Nerve and Maxillary artery and their branches.

Really obscure, but the type of thing I was obsessed with knowing in great detail. The image is seen looking from within the mouth outwards, the little blobby bits in the bottom right corner are the lower back teeth. The purple wedges are two muscles, the pterygoids (means "winglike" in Greek) and the yellow strings are the branches of the second part of the Trigeminal nerve as it exits the skull.

Tentacles in the house



I have to admit to a certain thing about drawing tentacles, as regular readers will know ( yes, all 3 of you) but this young woman has taken it to the next level. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the felted squid [via: MAKE]

progression session



The problem with stencils is the tempatation to redo the picture over and over with ever-soggier paper...although I quite like the Warholic results coming out of the process.

Smoulder


Smoulder is a new picture for some close friends of mine who LAT (live apart together) created with stencils, very simple but I love the strength of the lines. I aim to make 2 mirror copies, one for each of them. And if you're reading this you two, well...umm...SURPRISE!

Speaktacle


This is a rough draft of a logo idea for strcprstskrskrk coloured with pantone markers.

cascade


a doodled series of faces ink and pantone on Moleskine paper.

I suppose I got the idea from Dave Shelton via Drawn

Can I also just say that I had a long fight with my conscience about acknowledging Dave because his drawings are so good and I didn't want to look bad in comparison. I lost.

colouring the monster



With some helpful tips from this guy I've begun to teach myself to colour in Photoshop, and this is the first effort. Of which I'm strangely proud.

You can see the original un-coloured version here

Cities in the sky




I don't link to a lot of other posts on this blog, but this guy is fascinating. The ultimate urban planner, he has been creating an entire city from nothing, in his head. His having Aspergers Syndrome ("high functioning autism") might help. (Yes, it's what the main character in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime has.)


Welcome to Urville. Pop. 11.5 million. or 0, depending on how you look at it.

awesome joy buzzers





so this 'bloke died and left me some comics in his will. This is my favourite, with a slightly Jamie Milligan sensibility and frankly bonkers (even by comic standards) plot.
