A couple of new pieces -
Is Not Magazine contribution
This is a quick little piece for use in Is Not Magazine, which is a magazine in the form of a 1.5m x 2m bill poster. Every issue has two overlapping themes, "The Kid Is/Not My Son" being this issue's, which aim to create a grey area of meaning within each issue and challenge readers to come up with their own opinions and ideas. So this issue - it's about pride, compromise, ownership/disowning of ideas, men with no fathers, masculinity, sluttiness, heredity, inheritence, Michael Jackson, generationalism and more. So here is my take on dating, awkward situations that you want to disown, and paranoia. Ah, such frail masculinity!
Website Placeholder / Promo
This is just a picture to put on my website as a placeholder to both remind me that I need to get an entirely new site with fresh new work and comics to display done, and also to use as a test image for a project I'm going to do later. Also it's the first time I've used a brush in conjunction with a ruler! Exciting times.
I also spent £200 on pens and equipment and various things I've neglected to ever own or use that can probably make things a bit easier/sharper/more fun. It feels like quite an investment, so I'm hoping to make the most of them all! It's just to help try and develop various styles, really. I feel like I've been learning quite a lot lately, trying new things and I'm looking forward to putting it all to good use.
Also, I've begun compiling a little set on flickr of things you can't draw. It's something that continually fascinates me, with the amount of things we encounter almost every day that aren't technically right but which continue to happen regardless of what we think and which if drawn/rendered our brains decide are absolutely and categorically wrong. |
