Gadzooks



Another concept for the character of a dark knight. I like this chap, I think he looks like a pompous ass. Though I can't decide whether I want the character to be dark and foreboding or more appealing and comical.
Can't think any more I MUST go out and buy a curry

Wooo spooky



Just scribbling down concepts as I go...think this project might aim to be somewhat dark. Need to work on putting a bit more depth into it though methinks.

New Project




Something scrappy and quick to try and get out of a bit of a slump. We've got a nice shiny new project, which means we've got a nice shiny new brief to write, and it looks probable that I'm going to try and make some kind of book (again). Working title I have at the moment is
"Lucy and the Dark Knight."
In which a little girl teaches an embodiment of evil how to LOVE.

maybe.

get the dettol GET THE DETTOL


One of the things about contemporary paranoia I hate the most is the fuss people make today about bacteria. Kill 99.9% of bacteria or your children will be RAPED or something like that. And parents can't seem to realise that keeping their childen in houses sprayed and cleansed bacteria free actually does their immune systems more harm than good, their white blood cells never get a chance to experience the things they need to develop properly. Go make your child play in the mud, it's GOOD FOR THEM

Also, fun fact: one of the textures used in this image is the floor of the illustration toilets at uni. woop

The truth is out there


Oh Mulder.

What does it say on the tin



Organic food is another thing that gets my goat. Or rather it's the people that want to associate some kind of guilt with not buying food that is "organic". What's organic really mean anyway? On several packets of organic food I've picked up, it says nothing more than "this has been farmed organically". Also it's no secret that many supermarkets label a lot of exactly identical fruit and vegetable produce as both organic and non. I can't remember where I read it, but the best way I've heard it described is: "organic food is a tax on the gullible."
To be honest, I just want people to get down off their high horse. Or at least, think about the horse that they're sitting on. With a little touch of ignorance, anything can be called a moral high ground.
