Pinhead of Hellraiser


I did a few drawings of old horror film characters around Halloween that I recently got around to colouring. Hope this version of Pinhead from Clive Barkers Hellraiser pleases you horror lovers.

Roller Derby Monsta Mash


I started this idea ages ago and then went and had other ideas that I realised may be better and I kinda added the odd bit to this every so often as I do with many unfinished personal project things and then I thought Id may as well just sort this in order let myself think more on another few Roller Derby based ideas I want to do with paint, as Im realising more and more how much I miss painting and not relying entirely on my digital arts.
But the Ladies featured in this are a few of the Newcastle Roller Derby and will be featured in my next bigger Derby piece.

My First Munny: Design


For a long time I have been meaning to get myself a Munny toy and do one of my design ideas. Now I have one I've decided to go with my Teddy turn Demon idea that I call Tripple-Six-Ted or Tripty for short. Its still in planning but I have started a bit on the demon face sculpting and Im thinking I may actually stitch the Teddy parts as originally I was just sculpting the whole of it. Should look good when finished these are just my basic design drafts so I may add or change as I work.

Zombie Skater

Had a few Roller derby related drawings in my sketch pads for a while now, gradually getting around to adding colour. This is a simple Zombie Skater.....and yes as you may expect most of my derby art has some scary strange monster stuff involved.

My old Pokemon team: Blastoise


I thought it was about time I got this posted up even though I only just recently started doing any colour on him and I am not entirely satisfied so will likely update this and Im thinking I might also want to do another picture of him in a better position....If Im honest I really want to do a poke-fight scene...question is against who...Venusaur?...Charizard?

My Monster Beermat designs





Did these for the Inky Goodness Beermat Competition earlier this month.

My Old Pokemon Team: Haunter


Again here is my version of another stage in the evolution of a key fighter in my old Poke-team. Freddy did grow to be a strong Haunter which is how he stayed, until I and my Sister could nag my parents to get her a gameboy and a Pokemon game...me only thinking of the Gengar I would get via trade evolution...haha ;P 

My Old Pokemon Team: Gastly



Yes I am not the first to draw my own version of a Pokemon and we do see a great variety of people designing supposedly more "realistic" ideas of them. But I found myself being curious just about how my old Pokemon team would look or how Id imagined them back in the Gameboy days. Days of getting exited about how major hardcore Id once think my team to being. Also all my monsters had themselves a nickname that was usually comic or horror or film related...Mostly comic characters for my main Team, except with my Gengar (here he is in his baby days... Awww Gastly so cute) I named him after old Kills you in your Dreams Horror legend "Freddy K"

Scott Pilgerine.....

This is an old drawing I finally got around to colouring up digitally, have had it sat on my computer for a while with other odd bits also. Hope to get around to colouring and posting a few more soon. depends on how much more stuff i make for myself in all honesty.


This is a Scott Pilgrim picture reference more from the film version and the idea for the picture came about when thinking about redoing a film in an old somewhat well known comic    cover this is the original Adam Kubert Wolverine cover that I re-did with Pilgrim  http://www.coverbrowser.com/search?q=wolverine+107


Let me know thoughts on this by all means, hope its liked

Delirium who was once Delight...For my Sis

My Sister Lorraine and myself where only close when we where younger, she went through some changes just like the girl above and I was never very approving, in a way I gave up at being a brother at some point. About a week back my sister was hit by a car and killed I know that this is maybe not something I should put in a blog for my art work but this blog is more than just showing what skill I have. Its also sharing the inspiration, reasoning and general ideas behind any artwork and Delirium (the above character from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series) tends to be the only comic book characters who ever reminded me of my Sister and kind of made me hope that Id sort stuff out and build some bridges eventually. I find the similarity in the change of Delight into Delirium to be relative in a way to my sister and I may not be one for large emotional concern in family matters however I can get something out in a creative way and I hope or I like to think she would have liked this.
Its a small simple thing but its something. Rest in peace Sis, and Sorry.

Colour Burst RED

The Colour Burst idea was something I started a bit before christmas that grew out of doing a large page full of things relative to a certain feeling or type of genre or specific subject. After realising my occasional adding to these doodles and the theme I seemed to have in mind, I decided to do a series of them with the colours used all being in different shades of the title colour.
This is Colour Burst: RED i.e: Rage, Anger or Horror being the kinds of thoughts from such colour in this case.

Oh So Retro



I have been playing with this doodle with the idea in mind for it being a t-shirt design to submit online somewhere like "Threadless" but along with still picking at a dozen other drawings and digital ideas plus getting distracted by new things like this, I cant think strait on whether to add more colour to this as a Tee. As a general picture I have some other bits that go with it and depending on my satisfaction with it I will post that up as a full colour design some other time but for now Im just thinking about it as a shirt and if the line art is fine without much colour or not?
I may edit this post with a more coloured version aded. Thought Id just post this to ask if anyone likes this as it is or has any opinions on it?
