Re-format

I've just had a bit of a re-arrangement of my blog, so i've got rid of a lot of the clutter that wasn't helping out or that I was not using. I'm also trying out a new tagging method, tagging each blog under a singular category for ease of archiving/documenting. There's now a way of sorting by tags on the right, so that you can bunch posts by what is contained in them. I'm not sure how useful this will be, but I thought i'd give it a go for a while to see what happens.

Quick Update

Not much to report at the moment, i'm a bit snowed under with preparing to go home for the holidays. Just a quick update to let you know that i've gone through my blog and updated all my pictures with flickr links, so now the images should link directly to there so that they can be viewed larger. The old way of loading images took far too long and took up too much space, so i've tried to update it as uniformly as possible. Plus, then you can check out some of the work that i've not uploaded on this blog, along with some photography.

To sedate you till I upload some new work, here's a 3 part narrative that I did a few weeks back. Enjoy, and I hope to post some new work fairly soon.

Status Update

So I haven't updated this in a long time, be it due to working hard or laziness (you decide!) so I thought i'd post a general update about what's been happening with my work and this blog.

This blog is going to be staying here for a while, but i'm currently in the process of setting myself up a website with a proper blog and a portfolio in preparation for the inevitable end of university and the plunge headfirst into freelancing. No official details to report yet, i've got a temporary host at the moment with little to show (as i'm waiting for a chance t

o create a website as part of my course/final major) so i've not got anything to link to as of right now (except an empty page with nothing on it). Stay tuned for more information on that once I finalize what is going to happen with that.

As of uni work, i've been steadily working through that on some pretty good  briefs that i've adapted from the standard ones we have been given (it's third year, it's allowed)

. Currently i'm working on a poster for the Buzzcocks tour in january, which hopefully i'll get to go to, a couple of editorials, and a book cover project about music genres. I've also made a narrative for a fundraising book that my year are releasing to get some funds for our end of year show, which should be good.

I'll post a couple of pieces of work on here, as per usual more work can probably be found on my flickr and deviantart (which are linked on the right).

The first piece is a 24 hour editorial project, whereby I had to illustrate an article on dressage. The second piece is part of the buzzcocks poster project, and is a rough sketch I was working on. Experimenting with flickr links this time, so click on the images to see them bigger/links to flickr (I think)

Life On Mars

So i'm a bit of an addict when it comes to certain things. I'm addicted to the band Snuff, so I own almost everything by them and by bands involving the member/related to them. I'm addicted to shoes, and as such I own several pairs that I hardly ever wear. And the last thing is by films and telelvision series.
I love british comedy and drama. Scour through my dvd collection and you'll see some examples of great television that's been out for the past few years. My latest addiction is to the series Life On Mars, and to a latter extent Ashes To Ashes. My mates bought me the 2 series box set of Life On Mars for my birthday, and it's been watched ever since.

I decided to draw the four main characters of the series mainly through watching the series and wanting to draw some costume/people from different eras. Though they're not the best drawings I admit, I quite like them as i've tried to make them bear at least a slight resemblance to the actors. Anyway, as usual check out my flickr for other drawings, and these as well, and hopefully i'll be updating my blog a bit more now since it seems to have been on hiatus for a while.
