Pittville Press at Comica Festival

This Saturday Tee and I will be at Comica Comiket, representing The Pittville Press and I will be trying to sell copies of the previously mentioned Cheeseman Adventures comic.

Cap'n Beans at the A127 Trail

I will be showing some of my work from my folio in the Basildon Art Trail.
My venue is The Coach House in Billericay. While you are there, pick up a brochure and go see all the other wonderful work on display in Basildon, Billericay and Wickford.
Not only will you get to see some of my original work up close, I will also have a few things for sale, including prints and craft items.

Alternative Press Fair

This weekend Tee and I went to The Alternative Press Festival in London. Was pretty cool and a little unexpected since it was quite small but very packed. I felt quite out of place seeing as most sellers were comic artists or properly into making zines and things. I only sold one of my own mini-zines.
However, we got to meet some really interesting people and drink a lot of cider and Pimms.

Also our train mysteriously vanished.
We still don't understand what happened there.

Check RuncibleBird soon for links, pictures and photographs =D

Rest assured I will return however.

I Lost My Hands and My Right Boot

Been taking some photos of the weather on my way to Uni. See more here.

Exploding Wombs

Extreme wombs! Changing wombs. (Ah we love you Tim Minchin)

anyways I did some sort of sketchbooky collagey stuff last night and here are some results (you can see some others on my blog)

Best Egg Brand. Ever.

I asked my mother why her eggs were so inappropriate; she just lauged.

This is more or less inappropriate?!

Tree on a Tree

Just a quick message to say that now that I have my own blog, my posts on this blog will just be fun stuff and the other is (slightly) more serious.

I leave you with something I'm working on in Minecraft on the PCG UK server.

Some Ink

I bought some coloured drawing inks the other day because I really like how expressive ink drawings can be.

This was a little experimentation I did:

Some Birds

Yay birds!

This was for a project where we had to paint a piece of paper red - blue and then draw objects associated with that colour onto it.

Some Characters

Tomato Head! (pie funnel XD)

Doreen - (she has a massive hand O.O )

I think I like Doreen best. She's a new character. She always has a lolly or a stick or pencil in her mouth and she plays the ukulele.

Some doodles

As promised the WIP but so far all I have really are doodles, sketches and scraps of writing.

A Book

Just a quick message to say that I'm starting on a book as part of my course which will be a sort of anthology of things that I do. For example I sometimes write little nonsense poems in text files and leave them on my desktop. 

I'm gonna be developing some of these things I have collected over the last year.

My posts on this blog will now mostly document this process, as my time will be taken up by this and my other coursework.

I leave you with my pumpkin.

Lagged

Why is this like being constantly jet lagged? 

'You always ask if I'm OK

But it's not the same as being happy'

Blue Boots

Hello Fluoxetine!

I just hope it helps me to help myself and get some work done for once.

So anyway, I got some pens the other day thinking that they were just writing pens and it turns out they are sort of half gel half biro or something weird and the ink is the colour of the plastic case. 

However, the most awesome thing is that the blue one is the most amazing colour.

I drew these with it., the first observational drawings I have done for weeks:

Quick update

Sorry everyone.
I will eventually have something worth posting.
My life is very, shall we say, terbulant at the moment.
Once again I am advised to re-take anti-depresants.
I don't want to.
Niether do I want to fail, take a year out or become an alcoholic.
Also, I must make the choice between animation and Fine Art for my theory module this year.
This is all just a small segment of all that is going on.

Sat On A Banana

I went to the Rude Britannia exhibition at Tate Britain today. It was really interesting but I still want a Scarfe scarf which is now something like £65 but still way too expensive.

However, my mum had a voucher so she let me have the free ticket and so I spent the money on the catalogue/book thingamie. :D My excuse is that it is very useful for our research project. Actually I wish it was on when I was writing my essay on comics. 

The room guide is amazing: it has drawings by Simone Lia! 

Also my mum sat on a giant black banana and got told off by the security guy. On the way back she said "better not tell Dad I sat on that giant banana." Which I thought was hilerious.

"Every Trip is an Art Trip!"

haha, that is what i said in reply to my friend stating it wasn't an art trip when we went to london....i sound strangely optimistic!
ANYway here's a whole pile of sketchs done in various places i've been lately with friends...including cardiff and london and 2000 tress festival (which was GREAT). I left my moleskine there but the awesomely kind woman, who painted my face into a strange red panda, sent it back to me! It arrived on my birthday no less! She brilliantly helped the notion of the kindness of strangers and i sent her a print of a red panda i drew a while back as a thank you.
'nough said, here's some pictures...

Cardiff Bay...

Trafalgar Sqaure...Kensington Gardens...2000 Trees...Hyde Park...

stuck on a line of misadventure

Recently I have had far too many things go wrong. Including setting off the fire alarms in the house by hardly burning anything then not knowing how to turn it off. It makes me kind of afraid of this place.

Today I'm in one of the really weird moods I get in sometimes which must be the result of being stuck in a house for far too long. It's a trapped kind of feeling. Makes me want to do something creative to feel better but then when it turns out bad it makes me feel worse. Maybe you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, here is something from my little sketchbook:

New Place

Sorry for lack of posts etc I just moved into my new house and had a festival to go to.

Hopefully Tee will talk about the festival and I can just dump this awful sketch on you and be done. I feel quite down at the present.

It's sort of the view from my bedroom window.
