Princess Yah + New Website!

Ahoy there! I've been a bit quiet updating this site in recent weeks but I've been busy with job interviews and building my own professional website. Glad to say it is now online! Visit GUTTERWIPE now!

This latest art piece was something I originally sketched one night where I couldn't sleep. I also got the idea partially from the very good movie 'God Bless America', a movie about a guy and a teenage girl go ape shit crazy on America killing all the vile, insipid reality TV drones. It's quite pleasant really!

Illustration Friday - 'Lonely'

Illustration Friday piece for the 'Lonely' week. It could have so many meanings but this poor sap has to dwell in the company of nothing but his computer and packet of mouldy crisps. He hasn't slept in days...

Illustration Friday 'Refresh'

Just thought I'd get this in, before the Friday deadline for the latest Illustration Friday word of the week 'Refresh'. 

Gig Flyer No.2

Gig flyer for big local gig coming up! The alien thing wasn't strictly meant to resemble Zippy from Rainbow all 'punked' up but hey what the hell!

Robot Bird

Crazed drunken / high as a kite creature on a robot bird engulfed in wooden frames...what is there not to get!

Another character design for a half-lizard, half-man money grabbing swine. His pet snake is not impressed and his brain is about to pop out at any minute!

Here is the black and white version...

Teddy Bears Nicpic

You won't want to go down the woods again in a hurry!

Asbestos Village

I was recently asked by a mate to design a couple of covers for his bands new double sided single. The track for which this is called 'Asbestos Village' by Everyone Always Does. The end result was not tooootally what I had intended, but the more I got on with it, the more I started to like the colours. I bad thing is, it still looks like I'm trying to find my own proper style, but yes more colours like this will be used in future.

We Fear Salads

A possible t-shirt design for my mates band AGHAST!. The phrase is based on their track called 'We Fear Silence' and that they all love a hearty meal.

The kids ain't alright...

I was originally going to use the girl with the chainsaw in a separate piece for another project, but the other three critters just kinda cropped out of nowhere and they all fitted in together somehow. Watch your backs!

Place gum here...

The local club I have been a regular of for the past ten years or so is getting a new carpet, and to stop all those drunken oiks depositing their grubby chewing gum remains on the floor I've been asked to design some posters which will be stuck on walls, so gum can be stuck on them. Few more designs to go methinks. 

Aghast! die laughing...

This is a piece of local metal brutes AGHAST! being encountered by some dead folk. There can only be one outcome!

Inky Goodness Beer Coaster Project

First couple of entries for the Inky Goodness Beer Coaster project where you have to get a blank standard size beer coaster and draw / paint / etch / scribble a character design of a monster. Full details on the site. As Brian Butterfield says....anything goes! I ordered 20 of these beer coasters (10 squared and 10 round) so will undoubtedly attempt to create a set of 20, and maybe even order more!

Shame on you.

I just started drawing that pink monster in my sketchbook and it generated into this scene. Not sure what it means or why the toad is laughing at the monster, best to work it out for yourselves!

Dance

The first of a series of images I will be creating, maybe as poster designs. Next one should be up in a few days...

I Scream

Just a quick idea for a poster or something. Think of the children!

Illustration Friday - "Puzzled"

The latest Illustration Friday topic this week is Puzzled, so came up with this quick piece...

Remembering Cab Calloway...

Inspired by the recent YouTube video doing the rounds at the moment, a poignant scene from a documentary which shows a man in an old folks home listening to music from his era, and marvelling in delight at the wonders it can provide.

Massive fight.

A possible t-shirt design. Just drawn with biro and coloured in Photoshop. Available as one piece like this, or each individual coloured square. Or a combinatin of four of the squares. Your call! 

This is also used in the latest Illustration Friday week entitled 'Vocal'.

Chocolate Rabbit Easter Egg Times!

It's that time of year again when (almost) everyone gorges on hollow chocolate eggs full of more chocolate goodies in the name of religion. Here's a little way to spice it up.
