moving

Hiya just a quick note to say im moving flat tomorrow and not sure when we'll have the net set up so i'm sorry if this is the last post for a while, but still feel free to contact me as i will be able to access email.

Sorry for lack of updates things have been very odd and busy. First of all moving this weekend so the last few weeks have been spent sorting out details and finding a place, as well as finding work. However have manged to do a few commisions and been uploading work to my DA account. Still working on my site however the site doesnt agree with my mac so watch this space ....

may be another sort while to my next update due to house move thus no net for while. 

Here is my degree show faun sketch made with ink and coffee!

Doogle mania!

Updates slow this week, and have not been able to work on site thus the digital and traditional links still do not work. The reason for being this week was the last week of degree show and the week we get our results back, and i passed everything. I was especially pleased with my B for my dissertation as i was worried how my tutor would react to my subject matter. My topic was on the sexuality of monsters, and the role of female monsters in art and modern visual media e.g. computer games, focusing on the art of masahiro Ito ,  and the silent hill series. What worried me was my tutor reading my writing on the sexual nature, but i got a good grade so i guess she enjoyed it.

I now have all my work back now, so I will in the next few days be able to scan in my work from degree show, including my sketch collections (selected sketch above). I have also had a few calls this week for interviews one actually this evening and another on Tuesday. Wish me luck.

more work on the way

Well is been a busy weekend my parents have been up from wales and several of my friends have left the area. So its been some mixed feelings all around. But no chance to ponder i have a month to find work and a place to live, plus to promote my work. busy busy busy..

Any -oot the links do not work at the moment except the link to my deviant art page. Will be sorted soon.

Have completed my colouring of a art challenge piece i did in easter for Lucy Williams, originally it was just a pencil drawing but decided as i now have time to return to it and give her colour. The full image can be found on my deviant art page.

Sketch time

Today has been a fun day went to Megazone Derby for a birthday and failed.. Never been to good, especially as my dear love likes to give me a quick kiss when i've been killed just so as soon i come back to life he tags me :( ah well was good.

Been working on sketches lately completed a ink illustration for Lucy Williams the full version is on my DA account.

Well its in the oven...

Now work is over I have been able to relax considerate on non University work, thus have been spending the past few days sketching and finishing off work. Firstly was an art trade I did for Sophie Pickard  of a werewolf character design (left ), now currently sketching ideas and working on pieces in photoshop. Also have completed the daughter of the sky piece(. As well as art i have also started baking again and today is a  birthday  cake which is the biggest mix ive made before but its in the oven now....

Well my works all handed in and degree show portfolio of final year university work is really to hand in, now all that is needed to do is complete degree show displays for friday. So wow is over, and now I can concentrate on my own promotional, work and personal projects and commissions. First thing done is my business card (left) made on photoshop using a small dragon sketch and my dyed paper texture, will be posting more in the next few days now i have time to :D

Kitty loves paintings

Well the work is almost done and im very stressed, however when looking though my photographs i found this one which put a big smile on my face. Here is my cat kitty (i know very inventive name but hey i didnt name her) refusing to get of a painting i was trying to photograph. Everything paint she has to sit on. Weird little kitty....

I have just got back from a evening of cocktails and fancy dress, currently in medieval gear. The reason for this is today is the official hand in day for my course, however I have one more week to hand in. Thus this week and next is busy busy, thus still need to set time for business card. Here is the doodle of the baby dragon. 

Almost there only sound to go

So while rendering my animation have been putting my written work together and printing out work from the year, including some photographs of my paintings (left). Busy busy busy..

Progess

Wow things are happening fast! My mtv project is done now its full steam ahead for my final film and written work as well as some personal projects. I have also had my review back from Warhammer world and they would like to see more examples and gave some good advise.

I have also been thinking about this blog, i'm trying to make it my site but im trying to place in smaller images of my work either at the top or bottom of the page with will link to the image on a gallery page, however no luck so far so i have added a link to my deviant art gallery and will soon add a link to my gallery at ImagionFX, which reminds me the new issue is out and has a great bonus magazine of the new digital arts making waves in the comic world. Theres another point a big hello to all my friends at the bristol comic con, as again this year i couldn't attend due to deadlines.

The image here is my ID from deviant art, that as originally a postcard design. Drawn in ink with Quill, wings in pencil and the rest coloured and added with Photoshop. 

well here goes...

Well here goes i've finally got my blog and just in time as I I'm just about to finish University in the next two months, and now on the hunt for jobs and also somewhere to live in the midlands. This blog site will be under a lot of development as i get the hang of things and set up links to my portfolio sites, and get University work out of the way.

Heres a sample of my work 'The daughter of the sea" made April 2008. This character concept is a ink and quill sketch which has been coloured and edited on Photoshop CS2, the paper used is tea dyed paper. The concept for the character was to represent the element of water with the focus on the eyes. Thus i decided to make her mad and angry as the sea which can be calm one moment they a wild storm the next
