Make an exhaustive list of everything you might do, and do the last thing on the list

reblog with one thing you might do during your life, and I’ll paint one of them.

These are some of the images from the project I've been working on "(LIFE) after death". The theme of the project was wilderness, and I extended that idea to the Afterlife.

All paintings were created in Photoshop CS5.1 with Gilbert (Intuous4). The book should be available to buy from Pittville Press within in the next few months. Contact me here or at [email protected] for more information.

I also had a bunch of promotional prints made of some of my paintings. 4" x 6" and so shiny and beautiful I could cry.

My new business cards arrived!

Doodle spawned from a skype conversation.

Reconnected on skype with an old RP buddy -- Lily. Found out she was wives with someone I talk to now -- Megan. So Megan and I decided to use Lily as a camel and fly to Mexico to elope.

Seems legit, rite?

Some quick recordings of the weird things I saw in one short outing in Cheltenham a few days ago.

Including: A man in a rubber horse mask shouting into his phone (it sounded like the turkey from Don't Starve because I had headphones though, I bet he was saying something hilarious), driving past when I stopped at the traffic lights.

A man playing flute for a tiny little girl. A busker who looked rough as hell, ex-military, and I'm almost certain is one of the homeless druggies I usually see around. But this dad and his daughter, he was pushing her forward a little and she was in awe and the guy was serenading her. Very cute. I saw the dad and daughter collecting twigs on my way home again.

A car chasing a pigeon through the streets. Because apparently the pigeon didn't know how to turn left or right, only go straight.

And this girl. I don't know. Do you ever walk past someone and fall in love? It's ridiculous because you don't know anything about them, but it just happens. She had this air about her, like she was from a whole nother world. This floating of orange hair. She passed me at the traffic lights. I think I want to use her for the project I'm working on as a protagonist. Yeah. I think I will.

Warm up sketches in PS.

My flatmate's been watching One Piece pretty much flat out in the living room, and I might have gotten a little addicted. I think we've watched nearly two hundred episodes this week. Whoops.

Some Franky, with a little weird castiel, and spy, strange sebastian moran thing and some random doodles.

Everyone wears a mask... mine is just more obvious than yours.

Small update, part of a collaborative zine to be produced by Pittville Press. The topic was professions, and the image had to be black, white and grey. 

Please don't delete any of this text if you reblog!

This is a shout out for some specific requests!

I need help drumming up research ideas for my Final Major Project for my Illustration course. Because I'm dealing with rewriting classics and parallel universes etc, I was hoping you guys could send in some requests I can do for part of the experimentation part of this project. 

Basically I want you to send an ask or submit a scene from a show or maybe a book or a film, and something else to adjust it.

Which I know doesn't sound clear. But I'll explain.

It could be:

Sherlock 1x02, The Blind Banker, Sherlock is in Soo Lin Yao's flat and won't let John in. As a Zombie Horror. 

or 

Supernatural 5x02, Good God Ya'll, Sam is tied to a chair being interrogated by Rufus and Jo, with War. In the style of Disney.

It can be as obscure as you like.

Examples of the changes can be:

Changes in Genre (Horror, Romance, Comedy, Thriller, etc)

A certain director style (directors with strong styles like Burton, Tarrantino, Hitchcock, etc)

Recommending a certain style or concept (Classic Disney, Pixar, Fairy Tale, Pin Up Girls, Film Noir, Comic Book, Frank Miller, Zombies, Vampires, etc)

Or you can suggest random things like genderswaps, anime styles, characters as animals, set in a certain world (like Sherlock set in MLP), general crossovers.

Nothing's wrong, I'll take whatever you send!

TL;DR throw something in my ask or submit:

I need a show name, a scene, and whatever you think should change; and I'll draw it.

For a list of my favourite shows and films, look here.

Some random Mormor/Mormorbrook doodles from my RP blog for presents and reasons.

Some of the pages from my recent Children's book project from Uog. We had to write our own kids book, and make a full dummy book, finish three double page spreads and finish the front and back cover. And I made a little origami tiger for it too ;D

There's also a nice Pinterest page if you're interested in staring at pretty things and a board just of Cracked Black Inc original art. Oh wow. Shiny ooooh!

I'll hopefully have some stuff to post here tomorrow or Tuesday, I just need to get at that scanner in the studio. Look forward to that! Lots and lots of stuff to come!

Hey guys, I just made a Facebook page to promote my art, it would be so much if you could like and maybe share it, help a brotha out and all that?

Thank you so so much <3

Commissions!

Hey, just a heads up, I’m taking £3 icon commissions to raise money for my poor ass to eat.

Something like these. You can also view more of my work here and here. And you can message me for price details if there’s something else you’d like to commission from what you see there. 

If you’re interested you can send me a message or email me.  I‘d also appreciate it if you could maybe reblog this to help me get the word out?
