Spiderman


So just because I love the fella and recently I have seen a lot of spiderman fan art I decided to recreate one of the worlds most popular characters. Enjoy

In pain

Well once again I have managed to mess my wrist up and as a result I'm in quite a bit of pain.
Damn you job that involves heavy lifting!!!!
Along side this it means I'm stuck home playing in front of the computer and TV which has ended up giving me a splitting headache which feels much like this:

Lazy bastard

Ok so lately I haven't really done...well anything. I told myself I would take a break because I was just trying to give people what I believed they would want to see. I was more focused on becoming well know than I was actually doing it for fun.
So here's something for fun. I had no plan here, just sat on the computer and had a play with shapes. I quite like it.

Zombunny Goes Ninja

I have no idea why but as soon as I illustrated Zombunny I saw him jumping out like a ninja. Finally I caved and here is the result. Cheesy I know but I hope you like it

Neil Gaiman's Coraline Movie

First off let me start with a few details.

1. Neil Gaiman wrote a book called Coraline
2. Henry Selik and the company Laika decided to animate a movie based on the book using stop motion
3. Promotions were arranged

Now one of the promotions was a collection of 50 boxes to be distributed around the world, each containing various items from the movie. I emailed Neil asking if any were available but after talking to Laika I was told they had all gone but I was to be sent one of "part two" of the promotion.
This is what arrived. No idea how many have been made but I have spotted a few around already.


Also my beautiful girlfriend decided to get hold of one of the Coraline keys for me which were nailed to a variety of places around the US.



Now I just have to wait for the movie to be released over here in the UK

The damage

A while back I received a DIY Stitch to paint for an exhibition ran by Disney and Mindstyle. At first I was exited when it arrived and ignored a HUGE dent in the back of the box which had done enough damage to snap the plastic packaging.


Unfortunately when I rotated the head the damage became clear as the head fell off.


No glue I have tried seems to be able to support the head and then I had to leave it so that it didn't further ruin the festive period.
I'm horrified at this but there's not much I can do.

To make matters worse I was going to take another crack at maybe making an internal structure to stick the head on but I took a fall this morning and badly sprained my wrist. It even hurts to up my computer mouse but I still managed to put together a new illustration so that I can atleast feel like I'm doing something other than look at the damage on the Stitch toy.

Good Ol' Pip



So I have about a million things to do before Xmas and Monster Party 2 was just one of them. I took part in the first one so I felt I needed to make a new Monster for this one. Pip is my new favorite character and I might do more with him if I ever get round to it. Damn Xmas taking all my time
