Slate/Wine sketchbook stuff

Not quite sure what to do having finished the many illustrations for Mysteriarch 4, so have been sketching whatever comes to mind in my latest favourite posca combination--Slate Grey and Red Wine. The smallest size these colours come in is 3m and I never typically draw with anything that thick, so it feels a bit clumsy but it's certainly quite a change from .25. 

Some of the following images continue my collaborations with Mysteriarch writer Andrew Barron, the catchy inspirational phrases are his work (although the more or less badly executed lettering is mine).

I had second go at this one, but I still don't think I'm finished with it--

I also extend my apologies to Gamera, Megalon, Al Columbia and Ernst Haeckel.

Spoonflower shop

I've got a shop on spoonflower these days, if you could do with some fabric with things like flying slugs, aquatic deer, anthropomorphised afghan hounds or giallo inspired images, etc, printed on it. These are some of the images I used for the designs, but there are lots of more digitally edited ones that can only now be viewed on the spoonflower shop now since I had a hard drive disaster. Some of them are quite good.

It's the Fully Poseable Star Jane Afghan Figurine

I made this for my friend's birthday using pom poms, pipecleaners, a fashion doll head, rose quartz beads, paper-mache, nail varnish, acrylic, pins, a cocktail stick. I even got the scary Power Engraver out to add a bit of detail to the stage.










The figurine has proceeded to appear in a series of tableaux, including this wonderful 'gothic' one. Photo/tableau by Andrew Barron.
