Your Path To Divinty

Been listening to Jesu and Disapearer for most of today, this strange doodle came together... Was over at the Bournemouth convention on Saturday and watched my mate John Standen reinterpret a couple of the skulls from my flash set. Should be turning up in Total Tattoo at some point... My friend Liz http://lizsterry.com/ bigged me up on Ape On The Moon (click the pic to go have a nose)...

If you hadn't noticed aside from skulls, music is the biggest influence in my work. Pretty much all the titles for my pictures are either lyrics or related to songs from my favorite artists. The title of this post is a song by Jesu, a current project of Justin K. Broadrick, check the link to his site down the side of this blog. His previous band Godflesh was one of the biggest reasons I embraced heavy music, Streetcleaner is still one of those albums that sounds as fresh as the day it was released and can out heavy a of of the shit being released at the present.Much of his other work is experimental noise and soundscapes, not really the kind of stuff that you end up humming...

Listen to Jesu, get lost in the gently lapping melodies, crushing guitars that wash over you and hypnotic beats that relax, inspire and sometimes send me to sweet dreams...

G'night.

Inprogress... Not sure where this one is headed really but wanted to post as I'm really happy so far. If you feel like leaving me some comments that'd be grand... Its not for anything special so if your interested in something for a shirt/poster/etc then let me know as my rates are very reasonable!

In my eyes...

I think sometimes it'd be nice to just be able to sit down and not be compelled to draw skulls. I'm wondering if its some kind of disorder, maybe I could get diagnosed with skull-obssesy-itis and no one would hassle me to draw anything else... I think that'd make me pretty damn happy... Anyways usual drill there are 2 other versions of this print on my Deviant art and apparel/stickers on Redbubble (they just added stickers and baby clothes!)...



Keep flickin between listening to new Trap Them, Mouth of the Architect, Heiress and then old Atreyu... Its all so good!

Prints over at Deviant art and shirts at RedBubble, see the links to the side there! I actually feel like I'm being productive for the 1st time in a while. Hopefully more to follow...

Hmmm another Skull!

Well it seems like every time I decide to do something more productive, but less interesting I suddenly get the over whelming urge to make more skull related art. SO today I indulged in a little speed painting and got this done in 6 hours. Its acrylic on hard wood and I'm gonna varnish it up tomorrow. My 1st painting of the year is making me happy!
