Ok this blog is now dead...well deader than it was before. Which was pretty dead. I have never been good at updating blogs but this time I will try. I am now down on:

Time to get back into art

I make excuses. It's all I seem to do when it comes to my art work. Well enough is enough. It has been quite some time since I lost my art studio but I still have my computer so I really need to buff up my illustration skills instead.

So that is what I have been doing. Slowly. I have never taken any classes or been shown how to use Adobe Illustrator, other than a 15 minute explenation on how to use the pen function by an ex girlfriend, but I cant use that as an excuse. Practice makes perfect and all that jazz. So here is what I have been up to since my last post. Not a lot I know but this is a new call to arms against my lazyness...again...

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
