A strange sketch of a sculpture of a droid at the centre of a robot city with a few mechanoids looking on.

A foggy day over the castle
Here is a nice picture of a flying horse swooping through the pink magical fog above a castle
I have been away from illustration friday for a little while and it is good to be back. In the meen time I have been working on animations. They are so time consuming.

Skrimshaw page1
I have decided to start a comic book. It'll be about a colony of robots that have lost contact with human space and who inhabit a planet where humans are a dim memory. What happened to the humans. That's the idea anyway.
It is available on a portfolio website to buy as well, who knows, perhaps it will be a project that I will be able to keep up with. I hope so.

Imagekind
Here is another site I have discovered who will act as an outlet for my art. This first image I have placed on the site is a nice drawing of a fantasy pirate castle which I have had some positive feedback on over the years.

The Coffee Goblin
This is two images created and posted in the same day, I'm very proud of myself. Although it is two oclock in the morning, maybee there isn't that much to be proud of.
Uploading the image is giving me a bit of a problem, seven tries and still no luck. The uploader isn't very reliable with my dodgy 3modem in another country connection to the internet. The connection keeps dropping out, probably for just seconds at a time, but the uploader doesn't seem to be able to cope. I'll give up and just save this as a draft. Hey, I waited five minutes and bingo, it worked. No idea why but I should just be happy I guess.

Ironing Man
I just saw the trailor for Iron Man the movie last night and was moved to respond in my own artistic fashion. And of course it is available to buy as a tshirt design at redbubble, just click the button.
I have always been a big fan of Iron Man, and this may not be a great reason but, because of the cool way he holds his hand out in a "talk to the hand" gesture and his palm blaster shoots a cool beam out. I am particularly proud of this illustration because I have included a scan of a bit of fabric as the cover for the ironing board, I think it works well and looks nice, I have spared a couple of thoughts to the copyright situation but I'm fairly sure that an image like this which is sending something up is OK. I'm still in Australia after 5 months on holiday but I'm going to be back in the UK soon. It'll be good to see the old place again I guess.

A little pink fish
Another t-shirt design for redbubble. Redbubble mutes the colours as can be seen in their add below to reflevct the colours on a printed t-shirt more accurately.
I really like this design and I am toying with the idea of producing versions in different cvolours.
The Spiral Cat Bat Super Guy
This is an image I created to primarily be sold as a t-shirt design on redbubble.
I think it looks great as a t-shirt but I'm not entirely sure who would be interested in..
...wearing it. It isn't as comercial as I hoped when I first designed it. I'm going to have to concentrate more on designs which more people would be interested in I think. I really made it first as a logo for a site talking about comic books which I thought I could create but after my last visit to a comic book store it's dawned on me how hoplessly out of touch with the genre I am. It might be fun to reaquaint myself with it and write about the journey.
Primitive Frog Gods
This image immediately jumped to mind when I read that the word on illustration friday was Primitive.
The characters come from a short science fiction story that I started to write but didn't finnish at the fantastical fabulist. Now that I'm looking at this image again I have the feeling that I would like to create a coloured version, watch this space. Although I can't promise to ever get round to it, it's so difficult to do all the stuff you want.

Vampire Girl
Vampire girl is a natural friend for all the monsters that I will be introducing you to in this blog, Dragonbat, Jello Boy, Super Goth, Space Crocodino, Giroid, Wrinkles, Shroom, Ghost Penguin and of course you already met Space Mummy. Vampire Girl is a very magical young lady, and she can travel to many areas of space and time that would seem very remote to us, especially to play a good chess opponent.
All these strange monstrous figments of my imagination seem to enjoy a game of chess, even though I myself am a little at a loss during a game. I have limited her pallet in this image to just three colours and tried to create her exclusively with vector shapes so I can create a t-shirt with spread shirt that is printed their preferred way, something impossible with a normal jpeg.
Poor Vampire Girl must avoid sunlight, even with shades and her umbrella she just can't abide it. Her name, although it is not common knowledge is Violeta, and her castle exists on a nexus point in space and time.
Vampire Girl is a creation of me and my girlfriend (see our blog http://spiralcattalks.blogspot.com ) and she was inspired by a visit to Mirimar castle in Trieste. The real castle has a spooky twilight aura about it and it is overrun with cats. Vampire Girl's castle is also overrun with cats.
I guess Vampire Girl is a little like Emily the Strange but then again wouldn't we all like to be a little like Emily the Strange. Morticia in the Adams family is also an influence, and that shape changing woman from Space 1999, many, many others of course, Sapphire from Sapphire and Steel is another. I think these female characters who act a little differently to the way society expects are some of the most interesting characters.

Tarazet
Today I started writing a science fiction story called Tarazet, mostly as an excuse to create sf art. Like the space ship above. Here are the notes I created today. Morvanwin see previous post will probably be the main character.
A traveller reaches for a metal flower. They grow and die all along the route. He is a scientist
The star paths were built by an unknown civilisation. There are many legends.
A star path ranger is with the group she is guiding. The wolves have been angered and are on their trail. She makes a camp
Make sure to stick to the travel portals, and away from the rebalancing portals.
Sebastian is lost in the sluices in an accident. His boat trapped against a massive spar is ripped in two.
Morvanwin is a star path wise woman in the paths of Tarazet, a kind of ranger or guide.
Sebastian's parents hire her to give them the grand tour. She tells them they are very unlikely to see Sebastian again.
Sebastian is taken through space and time arriving in a labyrinth city populated by the ghosts of a previous civilisation of human like shadows, He feels unwell immediately and starts to fade. He takes the fancy of one of the shadows who finds a way to keep him alive in the lab.
Climax in great hall of the lost civilisation.
