Eliza process

of course, I forgot to take a photo of the linework. OH WELL. Eliza is a character of Bittermause who does this great webcomic: The Shufflers.

New Prints

So in May I made several new prints editions! THey are all screen prints and all are based on my drawings :) They are now all available in my Etsy shop (click here)! Some are sea creature inspird, others are just fun.

 

Nautilus print process

Step by step of my new print :) Soon will be added to the shop.

Sara's bags

So a wee while ago a friend commissioned a couple of super custom bags (they are kind of similar to your shopper bag but the strap is so long you can wear it cross body). Alas, at last they are finished and she has them now so i can post it here :) so i sewn these and added the prints too.

The banjo goat is also going to be a new design on the regular shoppers i do :-) soon to be added to the etsy shop.

Happy Mother's Day!

I had this idea for a few days and finally got round to do it. You could say it's a bit last minute but only if you are in thhe UK really... As it appears mother's day is celebrated in every country pretty much on a different date. This is a photo so sorry about the quality :-[

decomposition

Did two colour versions of this picture - I couldn't decide which colour scheme would be better so just did both :P This is some bumbling around a comic project which I am half-working on ;)

Whale not Fail!

This is not funny at all. This is SERIOUS BUSINESS! And action needs takeing NOW!!

-- a silly booklet I did for a SERIOUS CAUSE. ;)

Hourly Comic Day 2015

Had a great day like. :P

Go here to see what other Edinburgh League of Comics guys did!

Christmas decorations: the making of!

The previous post featured these guys:

First of all, print my drawings onto some fabric! (I did them digitally in my now new favorite drawing software: Manga Studio :P). The patterned fabric is fabric some offcuts one of my other studio neighbours very kindly gave to me, Rowanjoy. The key thing is that it had GOLD in it, and as we know GOLD=XMAS ;). As for the Magikarp... Not sure how that got there! :P

First off I attached head to the body that was just black fabric...

And ten sew around it, trim excess and TURN IT OUT.

The Poppy doll was like the hardest thing I think I have ever sewn, to be precise - trying to turn it out was HAAAAARD. The arms and legs were so thin! But I made it in the end. And the second hardest thing was probably these miniature shorts ;)

..and then proceeded to do the easier bits, the castings. The backs are made of the blingy fabric too to match the doll ;)

Then they got STUFFED. One of these things is slightly different that the others... Can you tell which one? ;)

And that is it! This was probably the most exciting little project I did in December! Along with the Magikarp tote... Incidentally I think these were the only two little projects.

I wasn't going to do any New Year resolutions apart from the "get mean at banjo", but I think I should have one. This one: TAKE BETTER PHOTOS :O

X-mas Aftermath - some fun stuff...

2014, from October till almost Christmas was the busiest period in my life. Like, ever! ;) I had several fairs, including one in London, two exhibitions, co-ran a pop-up shop and on top of that still had all the online orders to work on. But I survived! I hope that next year I will be more prepared, although it always ends up just being that little bit more busy.

Once all the crazy mental Christmas period work was over - about a week before 24th, I had a little bit of time to focus on some fun projects. Like this, super inside-joke Magikarp bad for my pal Aimee...

Or these crazy tree decorations for our Hill Street Design House Office Christmas Party Secret Santa...

They were for Poppy of Edinburgh Casting Studio.

One of them was Poppy herself and others were based on some of the castings that they have in their portfolio. Such as:

The rest are a bit NSFW. :)

Solo Exhibition at Hula!

So at the moment I have a solo exhibition at Hula Juice bar & gallery! It's running through till 6th of January. Here are some snaps from the set up and opening night!

The vinyl with my name on it... Feels so good ;)

Calm before the storm! After people started coming I had no time to take any pics...

And this is one of my Christmas Cats on the window :) 

And, last but not least - this is a special print that I did for the occasion! Hula cat and dog :)
