Update October 2015 - Vikings and Wombles

Long time no see!

This is because working a real job leaves me no energy for drawing. Waaah. I do, however write and (sometimes) illustrate a blog over here. I have a couple of ongoing projects when it comes to art though, so I thought I'd update you on them :)

Project one is a "peek-a-boo" board for the pub I work at. It's very touristy with lots of history, so I'm mashing the history up and using Susan the horse from Doctor Who to explain why Vikings and Roundheads are hanging out at a ruined castle.

As you can see I have to paint. Which is confusing and not drawing. Paint drips, and needs mixing, and needs to dry. It's all very strange. Luckily I have had some help on it so far. It's pretty fun, but so exhausting I struggled to breather the other day. Chronic illness is stupid.

Project deux is a poster for Wimbledon Zine Fair this November 14th. This is so refreshing as it's familiar ground and true source of sanctuary when painting is confusing my head. I shall be exhibiting there with The Jellygoose Chronicles, my Bulimia zine and maybe even my Doctor Who Christmas cards. Jellygoose 2 might even be there if I find the time and energy to finish it! This pre-lisahavingthedamnenergytofinishherposter poster has the details about it :)

I shall endeavor to update this blog at least once a month for the foreseeable future. While i don't get much actual illustration done these days, I do draw things at work here and there.  Most of these are on my instagram if you're interested.

Hope you're all doing well. Come hang in Wimbledon! :D

oh hai

hi-de-ho, strangers. sorry i've taken.... a week? oops. off the 30 day challenge thingy. i got really ill, had my first hospital adventure and have been unable to really do anything since. so this hiatus is set to continue for a good few days more. 

so, for now, here is a get well soon / thank for the book you haven't yet sent me because you have the lurgy picture my extremely talented chum sophie lees drew me! check out her more polished and simply superb work here.

it's totally my puppy when he's grown up. ^-^

so yes, i'm going to watch the yogscast, play star wars lego, eat crisp sandwiches and throw up all the bile ever 'til i can draw again.

ps.

google chrome corrects the spelling of "lurgy" to "zymurgy", which is to do with fermentation of yeast or something, meaning beer, wine and cider! how cool is that? 

pps.

 feel free to laugh at me getting better on twitter. i suck at being ill and my emotions are hilarious.

feed thing over there in the side thing  ->

kbai!
