If I didn't care about my stuff being "good"...

then I'd probably enjoy this more...

but unfortunately I do (care).. which means unfortunately I don't (enjoy it)

I guess I have to learn to draw for fun..

"bing bing".. take the shame...

building page 1 (rough)

busy again.. so here's two more 'tiny sketches'

one for Flint...

got the final cut of Bladerunner for my birthday recently..

final page pasteup rough

this is the final page rough for page one.. now have to go back and tighten it up a bit.. or a lot...

liar liar pants on fire

so... in a comment on my last post I mentioned that the small size of the pad meant I couldn't get precious about a drawing..

after starting and tearing out/up 3 'masterpieces' I remembered the above.. so here is the doodle of the day..

more foreplay...

Tiny sketches

the missus gave me a tiny pad thingy.. so I'm going to try and doodle something often..

beastie attempts

there's a beastie in the story that's been tracking the guy with the arrows in his back..
so I did some studies and some off the top of my head.. want to make him a bit anthro' (ergo the tracking abilities).. struggling with this one though..

final (rough) version of page 1...

honest...

goin' to hell for this one..

Just messin' about with colour...

and I really don't know what I'm doing.

practice makes... marginal improvement (but improvement none-the-less)

studies after Guenoden, Guardino, Carnevale and ??

From Munich..

did this page in the beer garden of the Hofbrauhaus in Munich (was a little tipsy at the time).. a little german boy saw the spidey head and asked his mum to ask me if I'd draw 'a whole spidey'.. so I did and gave it to him..
was a nice day..

More from Budapest..

these were done at a restaurant that had cherubs all over the walls..

One of the sentences below is correct.. I leave you to decide which one..

You Are Surrealism

Dreamy and idealistic, you've created a world that is all your own. It's very likely that you've either dabbled in drugs or are naturally trippy. You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society. You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world.

What Art Movement Are You?
