No I'm Banksy - and so's my wife

I wish I'd thought of this, and then given one to everybody in Bristol to wear for a day. Kinda like V and the masks in the plot-twist-with-no-relation-to-the-Alan-Moore-original-and-which-therefore-sucked in V for Vendetta.

the one-eyed man is king

So after some unseemly begging over at mjar's blog hooked I snagged a copy of the HOOKED 'zine, which is all a zine should be: photocopied, strongly designed and free, with many sharp designs in various modes, not all of which suit the unforgiving and blunt instrument reproduction of the Xerox.

My favourite is this one,by Eight-bit but only because it plays into my well documented cyclops obsession (oh well if you're going to insist on links...here and here and this one too.)

The cover, which I think was done by mjar itself is also a thing of beauty.

doppelcybermen

I spotted these lurking in Woolies, and they made me think immediately of doppelganger

good morning

I suppose this one is for my drooling webquaintances Billsworth and Doppelganger. For myself, I take refuge in the centuries-long tradition of the nude in Western Art, so I'm definitely not a perv. THIS IS ART DAMMIT, STOP SNIGGERING AT THE BACK.

rage against these machines

So I managed to ahem...inherit these beauties last week, lugging them back through the tube was a real (literal) pain in the arms but aren't they sweet? That's what you call oldschool hardware.

The top is a hardware signal filter and the bottom just makes sine waves. hell -all that hardware for a signal I can make in 2 seconds in pd! I don't want to bow to doppelganger's new porn obsession , in this case it is all really about the knobs.

A watercoloured dwarf with a gun...what more could you want?

Banksy strikes again

Finally someone's posted the Banksy remix of Paris Hilton's CD. Only the pictures unfortunately.

The artfuel verdict:
artwork - bad "worth 1000" photoshoppery
taglines - Banksoid drollery of the better variety
sheer genius of doing this - priceless

I knit dead people

oh this has got to be the best craft idea *ever*

better than the knitted squid, better than yawn of the dead...

knitted Zombies

lucy

going for the aw shucks vote/ hallmark option with this one.

a quiet night in

another attempt at grown-up sketching (and yes; I know she's not nekkid, billsworth, you'll just have to imagine that coming later in her evening)

candleman

I'm really steaming through the colourations this week.

judo guy

A fairly old pic which I just got around to colouring.

faces in the crowd

I draw a lot of faces. Not from life, just starting with an eyebrow or a hairline and building other features together. Sometimes this happens all at once, like this one.

sprayclone

A spraypaint stencil sticker for my stickerbox, should have been stuck on a wall somewhere but y'know: middle-class pale male here. I just can't bring myself to. much.

paperwork

So despite all promises to the contrary the on-going disaster area called "my study" has discouraged me from posting these past few days, but I wanted to show you the paper cut out group portrait of some friends I did a year or so ago.

oh dear lord its good to be back

I swear I didn't know how bad I had this interwebulator bug until BT (my wonderful service provider) decided not to reconnect my broadband until 2 days ago. The first week I was seriously jonesing, but after the second week I just felt...normal. Not superpowered with the ability to know any fact within instants, not able to chat with people on the other side of the world, not connected to the very pulse of the machine...

As William Gibson said I fell into the prison of my own flesh.

Which was just as well else the new flat would still look like a construction site. (It's literally just up the road from the old one, Eyechild). But I'm back now. thank god.

I wish I'd put the time to better use and had a raft of new pix to post, but I don't. What I do have is some very very old ones, including the first time I started trying to draw again after stopping for 4 years (age 13). And a very funny religious comic, which I shall imperil my mortal soul by laughing at. in public.

milkrobotics

Petr Sorfa's started posting drawings on his blog again, which is good. Not that I've got anything against photos of beautiful Goth girls in duct tape on the streets of New York y'unnerstan. Which is the other thing he posts a lot of.

gimp

ok I've been mad busy at the moment with catching up after holidays and packing for a house move - so no drawings for a while now. This is very old and really needs colouring. As a result of my crayons being packed somewhere at the bottom of a big box and the usual service swapping shenanigans the artfuel experience may be a bit intermittent over the next week or so.

hiiiii!

hiiiii

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.
