This is designed,

, to be very large, so it looks a little... scrappy when its small, but i quite like it

Speaks for itself

2008-07-02T13:39:00.001-07:00

Just testing new media

Pretty useless really, but meh

I love this background

2008-07-02T13:37:00.001-07:00

I made it a while ago, because i noticed how haggard the wood on my dinner table is. I couldnt make my mind up what to do with it ....so i stuck some birds on it, perfect sence

Yes, thats right

2008-06-24T11:50:00.000-07:00

Its a man with a flower for a head jumping into a plant pot. So what?!?

Carrying on the cartoony theme:

2008-06-24T11:36:00.000-07:00

...Its a ghost coming out of a bin

This is ridiculous

2008-06-24T11:34:00.000-07:00

Its supposed to be an alien, with traffic cones on its legs. Like as trousers, but for some reason i felt complelled to give this rather 'cartoony' character a really harsh grungey background. Turned out crap. I'll work on it

A bit different

2008-06-24T11:32:00.001-07:00

But i had the idea for a slightly different composision. Still cant make my mind up which one i like better...

2008-06-20T13:37:00.000-07:00

2008-06-18T15:34:00.000-07:00

Eyes got a new idea! And im really excited about it.

All i got for now is...

but, this shits gonna be INSANE-O

OK, done!...for now

2008-06-18T15:33:00.000-07:00

But im gonna be a little bitch perfectionist and keep working at it on and off, but im pleased for now at least :D

Hows about black and white?

2008-06-17T10:32:00.001-07:00

I CANT MAKE MY MIND UP! JEEZE

Not QUITE finished

2008-06-17T10:23:00.000-07:00

I still gotta do some rendering in corel painters, but what i've got so far's quite nice, i think:

I made love to a piece of paper:

2008-06-01T07:29:00.000-07:00

OK,

I think this is going to turn out TASTY,

Just a sketch at the mo, but ive been playing around and making some shapes and its coming along.

TASTER:

mmmmmmmm

Something neeeeww

2008-06-01T07:27:00.000-07:00

Ima work into it, i'm not happy with the background stuff,

but :D

Finally! Something new...ish!

2008-05-29T11:54:00.000-07:00

I'm not too sure about the layout, but i'm pleased with the illustration.

But i still don't think i've truely shown my 'style' yet in this blog, i just have to keep drawing i suppose.

I'll keep updating xxxx

I acctually found

2008-05-28T10:17:00.000-07:00

An old piece of my work that i quite like:

It was for my friends band before i knew what kinda music they were making. And it turned out there stuff wasn't, hmmmmm, 'dark' enough for a poster like this haha.

I however, still like it and yes, even the ridiculous font i created.

New stuff soooooon , i promise

Trying to advertise

Way back in December i was playing about with my illustrator and made some nice shapes so i thought i'd make a picture out of it.
Again, the colours arent great, but i managed to get it to Design Center in Covent Garden -

I'm really not into my old stuff any more, but i just wanted to get some colour in this new blog, so i'll post some new stuff im excited about soon.
xx

I hate this

2008-05-26T15:44:00.001-07:00

The colours are too bright, and the shape just looks 'amateurish' - If thats a word.

I do, on the other hand
Like the concept and subject, so when i get time, i will re-draw and re-create this, hopefully with more detail and colour.

But until then, this is all i got

In the beggining there was...

"O shit!, this thing not got spell check?!?"

First post, always the hardest. Well i'll just tell you a bit about myself:

I'm Alex
I Draw, design, and make fancy colours come out of my mac.
This Blog is a place to keep my stuff all together, apart from my haggard £1.24 Tescos sketch pad - Complete with thin-ass paper.
I'm taking a year out of education, after my A-levels, to work, get some money and get a portfolio together for future career possibilities :DDD

So i'll keep updating, and hopefully get some pretty pictures on here.
