Shit for sale!?

Yo peeps, just saying I've made a canvas, it's for sale. It's only little, A5 or so.

Haven't really decided on a price, probably £10 for materials, paint, and so on.

Anyone's interested, hit me up at:

Uni news and t shirt design

So the latest project in uni is right up my street. My group is doing a calendar based on sustainable design, and for the 'image' of each month on the calendar, there's going to be a papercraft net for the user to cut out and keep - giving the otherwise waste-able paper shelf-life.

I think it's a really cool idea, and I've sort-of-but-not-really become the main papercraft designer; basically because I do it in my spare time anyway. But it's a lot of fun! First one so far has been this little robot guy; who is just a simple idea - kind of a 3d sketch. We're redesigning him, probably gonna get some colour in there too. Exciting! In other news, I created a new tee design, cause I only had a boring plain red tee to wear out the other evening, so I just made a design. Like you do. Pics are as follows...

peace!

Pledge...

So guys, I know this sucks but... Does anyone who reads this need a commission? I hate asking that. I'm just having a rough time (aren't we all?) at the moment, and truthfully - I'd love to do some work for someone. I can do cards, books, paintings, designs, illustrations.. If you have a little look around on here or at my DeviantArt page, hell, even my old DevArt you can see the sort of stuff I do. If you've got any friends or whatever who you think might be into any of it, please, hook me up! I'm not some 'big artiste' who's gonna charge a bomb, timesheets and all. Any cost would be carefully calculated!

So, there's my little pledge to you lovely people.

Either comment on here, DeviantArt or hit me up at monkeykongaman@hotmail.com

Thanks!

Peace. X

Book and painting

Hola!
Did some things to send off for this thingy, kinda like a secret santa (but its not Christmas), that we do on the Unified Scene, which is the Hold Steady forum.

So I made a book for this guy, and the little slip thingy that goes over it has the Stay Positive logo on it. I also did a Dylan painting for him. I got a picture of Dylan, played with the levels and threshold in Photoshop, and then imported it into Illustrator, live traced it, then physically traced it - off the screen of my laptop, no less - and painted it.

Chuffed how it came out, actually!

Sharks rock.

Hey guys.. Just a little something I threw together the other day, because sharks are so cool.

It's not showing up on here so I'm gonna have to just send you on over to my DeviantArt page.

If you are gonna download it, please drop a comment either there or here (if you have an account), or send an email down to monkeykongaman@hotmail.com. Thanks :)

Cheers

Zombies! Dinosaurs! Zombie Dinosaurs!

Guys, I love zombies. It's no secret. Another thing I openly, and all too regularly, declare my love for is dinosaurs. They both rule hard.

So, I present to you...

The Zombiraptor!

It's a work in progess, but I'm excited to finish it!

Peace!

New DeviantArt Page.

Hello people. Just a little note to say I have a new DeviantArt page, hit it up if you get a chance. There's not much on there at the moment, but bear with me. 

In other news, finished my first year of uni, got a letter saying I passed - yay! Kind of knew I would, sort of, but then again one can only be so sure. Currently reading Let The Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist - freaking awesome. Can't wait to watch the film, but have to finish the book first!! 

Also, plenty of planning ahead this summer; which I don't usually do, I don't like planning ahead too often because I feel it ruins surprises and the enjoyment of madness. But I'm planning to do quite a lot. I've actually got a commission too at the moment (which I haven't actually started yet), so that will be fun, drawing a DJ for this guy in work. My father also said he'll commission me to do a corporate identity for his contracting service  - I don't have a super close relationship with him, so it'll be less like my father and more like a real client, which is kinda cool in a sort of depressing way! But that's IF he even emails me, which he hasn't yet.

I'm also going to start work on a comic I want to make. Nothing more on that yet, but it's called Fliers. Kind of a gigantic mixture of loads of awesome stuff. 

Anyway that's all for now, I'm going to leave you with the awesome works of Jon Sommariva, A.K.A  Red-J on DeviantArt. He's an awesome artist and has been working with the legend that is Jay Faerber on a comic called Gemini for Image Comics. It's been aaaaaaages since number 3 was out, and I've heard issue 4 is coming mid-July sometime. I can't WAIT.  

Take it easy
