October 12th 2010: The Boxer

You took it all gracefully on the chin, knowing that the beatings had to someday end, you found the bandages inside the pen, and the stitches on the radio. There was something heavy holding you down, and there were whispers that were driving you crazy, and now you haunt the heart of this town, but I remember when I knew a boxer, baby.
I've had that song for about 3 weeks now and it's already number 4 on my most played list.

October 11th 2010: Parasol Girl

Real quick silly drawing.
Pretty awful.

The Great Red Shark

Pretty dodgy draw for uni brief. Crossing a Chevrolet Impala & shark in order to create a literal representation of the frequently used HST metaphor. Vrum Vrum. The idea is to create an instalation to say thank you to Hunter S Thompson. This was the car so often referred to in his work as 'The Great Red Shark'... get why I did this now? Anyway, the mix is inspired by my love of his descriptive language & extension of reality in his work so thats what I tried to do here.

Bits down the side. I had some difficulty with the picture, no matter what I did it wouldn't rotate. The first square is the front of the car, drawn badly. The second shows the steering wheel with the inscription in the centre: 'Hunter S. Thompson 1937 - 2005'.

October 10th 2010: Love Is Cruel

Fat Lip, Black Eye, Pig Tails.
Like it. Not domestic violence. The picture.

October 9th 2010: Che

20

Che Guevara's Birthday. He wasn't even Cuban.
This beard took absolutely ages. Theres got to be a good couple of thousand lines in there.

October 8th 2010: Dispair

Me after two days of uni. I should not be this stressed/paniced about the amount of work I have to do. As you may have guessed, it's shoddy because I'm working on uni stuff.

First Day back to Uni

Second year is going to be HEAVY. No doubt. 75 minutes into the first day we've already got 3 briefs and the first crit is next week... harsh. Anyway, the first project is 'Thank you!' saying thank you to someone who has inspired you or changed your life or something... I've chosen Hunter Thompson because he is a Winner. And also because nobody in my group seems to know who he is.

And now just because I hate posting anything without a picture:
