I've just joined a website called Society 6, it's a good place to promote your work and find a lot of other good artists.
I've also got some prints for sale on there. Feel free to have a look

As Seen on Creative Boom

So I've just been featured on the creative boom lookbook!


Yes, a slight spelling mistake in the title, but it's still awesome!
The rest of the website is good, take a browse around and have a look at all the interesting stuff they've got on there!

2009

So it's boxing day today. I hope everyone had a jolly good Christmas! I've been pretty lax on the illustration side of things, but I have a few bits and bobs in the pipeline, so expect some new projects in the new year! Here's a little something I've been experimenting with. Enjoy your holidays!

Twitter: I've discovered it

So I've finally got this thing that I believe they call Twitter. I know, late on the bandwagon or whatever. Anyway, if you are on there feel free to add me: Tom Colmans on Twitter

On the illustration front, I've been busy and lazy. I lost my creative spark for a while, but it's slowly ebbing back, so hopefully more work will be on the way! I've been doing quite a bit of random doodling, which I'm thinking of turning into a book. Also having a few ideas for projects to do to take up the spare time I have on my plate.

I've actually had my first bit of illustration work! Exciting times! I'm designing some t-shirts for a new record label in Norwich called Manic Vision. Their ethics and ideas are really up my street, and hopefully if they like my design it shall actually get printed up and sold. Check them out here: www.manicvision.co.uk (Since the launch date is not until later on, the website is not quite finished yet)

I'm not really sure what else to write about here. I've started driving lessons, and that's going well. Yet another thing to get through and tick off the list. I've got a small part time job in an off license to give me some spare cash, though I think I might lose my job their as the company is going down the pan.

Website News: I'm working on a new version of my site, as although I like it it's just not quite what I want now, plus I've seen some of my ex-classmate's websites (Yes I'm talking to you Jo and Natsuki!) and I really need to pick my game up.

Blog post over. Here's a little drawing I did to celebrate my 100th post on Twitter (lame I know). Click for bigger/flickr version

Website now up & more news

My website is now up and running at a level i'm happy with for the time being.
Visit it here: www.tomcolmans.com or click the website link in the sidebar.

I've received my results from university, and i've passed the year with a 2.2 average. Graduation is soon, then into the real world as they say!

My end of year show is currently almost finished, the private view being on the 24th of june, and the show is open until the 2nd of July. If you're in the area, or wish to see some of the work my university is producing, feel free to come along. It's held at the Norwich University College of the Arts, and is open to the public from the 25th of June.

So that's about it for this update. I'm working on some downloads for my website, including some interesting comic/narrative/downloadable portfolio ideas, so once they're up I will divulge some more infromation.

Until then, check out some of my work on Flickr, and some new work on my website (links in the sidebar respectively.
