in bruges

I went to Bruges for my cousin's wedding this weekend. Here is a quick sketch. It looks very peaceful. Imagine tourists three deep on the bridge behind me.

extreme morris dancing

A morris dancing festival. Hey, I live in Norfolk now.

The guys in the feathered hats are the Kettering Witchmen. They wear leather motorcycle gloves, use sticks like two-by-fours and tie their bells to their Dr Martens. They're pretty cool and remind me of the southeast bonfire societies.

Caption auction artwork

I've submitted artwork for the Caption auction in Oxford for the last three years (this will be the third) Unfortunately I can't go as two of my friends are inconsiderately getting married, but the theme for this year is Mad Science. I've got a load of magazines like the one below (tag line of the cover story "A Mutant- he knew the innermost secrets of all creatures-except himself!") and interpreted "Mad Science" as 1940's pulp science fiction magazine imagery.

Once a Month

Chapter art for Episode 163 of The Drabblecast , Once a month, on a sunday by Ian McHugh.

Unfortunately I drew this illustration way too big and had to crop it quite radically. You can see the final version on their website, which you should check out anyway because it's amazing.

Museum sketches

I've been asked to draw skeletons a couple of times and they're really difficult to blag. I need some practise, plus I'm interested in anatomy anyway, so went down to the local museum. It would have been better if they hadn't posed it in a chair reading a book. Also drew some stuffed birds, because I had to pay £6 to get in and thought I better make it worth my while.
