Drum Sticks!







My custom drum sticks arrived last week!
Safe to say they've already taken a bit of a beating when I performed a few songs for my Dads band, Fear of Falling at the White Horse Inn Beer Festival in the Lake District!
Thanks to Awesome Merchandise for doing an amazing job!
You can see me smashing these sticks up in the pictures above while repping my lovely Spill Your Gutts vest! Got a piece in the works for them and their new line was released today!
Check it out!



New Rat Skull!




My newest rat skull on the right joins the collection!

If you're in Birmingham before 30th July get down to the gallery!

Big thanks to Inkygoodness for inviting me to the show and all their hard work!

Process of a drawing (sort of)


I wanted to do a proper 'progress' blog for the Inkygoodness piece but half way through I forgot and didn't take screen shots when colouring.

But anyway, here's a loose look at what I do and how I do it.



- Sketch A4 layout.
- Use a book as a mouse mat / desk because your desk is full of stickers and it's uneven.



- Scan sketch and blow up to the finished size.
- Stick 2 A3 pieces together because you haven't got an A2 printer.



- Start inking over the print out.
- Draw on the floor because the desk is full of junk



- Scan and colour
- Take it to the printers
- Frame

I can't show you my colouring secrets!



- Take arty close up photo to show detail / messy room and you're ready!

I Makez Songz Too!


In about 2008, in my living room, I made a song with the help of one of my bestest buddies Sammy Brennan.
We called our one day project Prince With A Thousand Enemies cos we proper love Watership Down. (On reflection, we were like a cheap version of Fall Of Efrafa)
Anyway, this song just came on shuffle and I thought, oh my, THE WORLD MUST HEAR THIS!
Download!
I played all the instruments and wrote the music (aka made it up as I went along) and Sammy recorded and project managed and spun on the desk chair.
Look out for our next project, 2 girls 1 drum.
