This started out as a quickie for my Sketch Blog but wound up becoming an exercise / foray into digital painting and a much less cartoony style. So now I guess I'll show it off here!

One of my earliest posts here was a sketch I did of an Angel and a Devil girl, well I gave the two the treatment and came up with two lowbrow canvasses. There's a healthy dose of tongue and cheek involved, along with some 50's hot-rod style art influences. The physical prints will be on canvas 1m x 1m.
I got the opportunity to design a t-shirt for the stunt and fight teams on the new Wolverine movie. After a few revisions and some back and forth communication the design wound up being pretty solid. Approx 300 t-shirts were produced and a limited run of hoodies. Here's the design.
And here's the t-shirt as modelled by the gorgeous Deborah.
Keeping it short, new concept that can be filed under, 'I have no idea but I thought it'd be cool'. At least four more characters in the works, along with some interesting ideas, that's about it.
Here's something I did for a bit of fun, the overall concept was to take some pre-christian Celtic gods, give them a bit of a twist and urbanise them. I've got a few at the sketch book level, but I gave old horn head here the works. Might add some of the other later.
Been listening to a lot of Maynard James Keenan's creative project - Puscifer of late, wound up doing this piece, so I consider it indirectly linked (or at least subliminally inspired by) the music. Check out their stuff, you can buy it on iTunes or through their website.
I'm pretty stoked!! Looks like I've been picked for issue 5 after all, now don't I feel like Chicken Little!
I Want Your Skull is a limited run black and white publication and website, that focuses on art featuring skulls. The following is my entry in the May issue. I didn't get picked, but hey, it was a fun exercise all the same.
The Final Piece, entitled 'Thug Life'
And here's a set of concepts, no particular order, although you'll notice I did start it in colour.
My new friend and compatriot from Vinyl Toy Freaks, Marine was kind enough to send me Olee, his resin platform toy. Check out Marine's fine wares / works / art and some vinyl news at his Tummy Toys site and at Monikceltic.
For anybody interested, here's a design sheet I drew up for the Olee platform. It's in PDF so anybody who wants to give the Olee platform a shake can try it out.
Over at the VTF forums a creative request was put out for some mini-card designs. Here's my contribution.
For those interested, check out the VTF community, it's a cool place to shoot the breeze about art, vinyl and creative pursuits!
Design 1 - The People's Republic Of Vinyl
Based on Chinese Propaganda posters, I used the base of this design for a promo for VTF a while back and decided to work it up into a mini-card.
Design 2 - Horrorpunk Roots
I make no secret of my proud punk roots, so here's an old school appropriated image horropunk style card, this one has caught a couple of favorable comments over at VTF and is probably my personal favorite too.
As always, comments are more than welcome.
Speaks for it self I guess, I'm doing a short series in this style, just for fun at the moment, but I'm working of turning it all a little more tangible too! More soon.
