James Earl Jones has passed away at the age of 93. While he delivered many unforgettable performances over his long career for me he was the Dark Lord of the Sith. Its impossible to separate what element defined Darth Vader as his statuesque silhouette and his booming voice were integral to his terrifying presence. That […]
From time to time you get to work on something which just feels right. And from time to time you get to jump into a project early doors and get to help shape it from the ground up. This is frequently the most rewarding work as you can aim to ensure everyone's goals are present. […]
I dusted off an old doodle you'll find buried in the depths of my insta sketchbook and coloured it up with an other worldly colour palette. To be honest this could be a stylised take on a blossom tree with some kind of egrets flapping about a small island somewhere in East Asia... but its […]
Alabama 3 put on a hell of a show. I've seen them many, many times and its always, without fail, a great night out. I often end up drawing them (see) and wanted to do something akin to the grungy old grindhouse movie posters of the 70s but with a techno/dance vibe. Originally I was […]
Late last year I did a few sketches of treehouses. Starting off small I quickly elevated the idea to encompass a full size fort in a vast tree. No treehouse ever attains the lofty imaginations of the kids who will occupy them, rarely going much further than a few planks and if you're lucky, a […]
Ill communication is one my two favourite albums of all time (along with DJ Shadows Endtroducing.) and tracks from it still pepper my playlists 30 years after its release. I was in America the summer it came out and it was blasting out of my cousins stereo as we drove through Boston. It pretty much […]
Ahsoka is magnificent. We all agree, right? Her story is littered with tragedy and has some pretty dark turns in it so lets hark back some lighter more fun moments of her youth. This set of prints are now available over at ACME archives (USA) and Pulse Gallery (for UK/'international') markets. These would definitely brighten […]
While I'm a big supporter of fixing earths problems rather than attempting to relocate to a far more hostile world, I think becoming an multiplanetary species is inevitable and we should probably crack on before we do some damage that cant be undone. I love the idea of 'roughnecks' living on the planet and raising […]
I enjoy the MCU. I Love 2 or 3 entries, but enjoy most. Personally I think the best thing that the MCU (I think it officially comes under that title now?) is Vincent D'Onofrio as the mighty Kingpin. His hushed tones, monstrous physique and explosive rage make him a genuinely terrifying villain especially as characters […]
Happy new year, folks. Despite us still having winter to pass through I'm already looking forward to spring so lets start the new year off with something fresh. The current trend of rewilding and reintroducing extinct species into ecosystems they once thrived in is always good to read about and Pine martens are having a […]
Sometimes its nice to step away from digital work and spend some time working on something more tangible. A few weeks ago I treated my self to a resin Clarke cast from Burgerstrings. Chris's incredible clay carvings are beautiful creations. While I really liked his more alien looking masks I fell in love with Clarke's […]
