The List: Glasgow

Hopefully I'll get a chance to revisit some of this stuff in proper full-on detail, perhaps in a zine or some prints or something. I was really happy to be asked to contribute to the magazine. Students in Scotland - keep your eyes out for a copy if they're still around on campus.

The List: Edinburgh

On the whole, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, especially considering that it was quite a short brief. I'd have loved a few more days to really work into it a little more, but hey, who wouldn't? The main thing I got from the brief though, was rediscovering drawing actual things. Real life, actual things. It gave me a ton of ideas for new drawings and hopefully I'll get a good chance to get some of them down soon. My new Glasgow surroundings will come in very handy indeed.
In time, I'll get the other drawings up here too. Keep your eye out for the actual, physical Student Guide issue of The List too (mostly available for free at Scottish colleges / universities) Also, If you're a new reader, hello! Please check out my giveaway for a chance to win some free prints, zines and other things.

Rockets Screenprint

'Rockets' is a two-colour screenprint printed on very nice, archival quality, acid free 200gsm white Heritage paper. It measures 40cm x 50cm (a good size for framing) and comes to you, friend, signed and numbered by the artist (me) for just £40. It's so highly detailed that the photos don't quite do it justice as, honestly, it's pretty hard to take a picture of without it looking all compressed and weird.

The Donaldson Boy

Anyway, the real point of this post is to mention that I've illustrated (former Arab Strapper) Aidan Moffat's first short story 'The Donaldson Boy' for the current issue of The List. I was super-happy to be asked and I had a lot of fun drawing 'Donny', the titular, overweight boy-racer. You've still got the best part of a week to pick up the magazine and you really should because, alongside Aidan's, there are a couple of other short stories worth a read, illustrated by Lizzy Stewart and Joe Baglow, no less.

Desktop Background

I've uploaded it as a 1920 x 1200 jpg so it can be used as a background. Just click here image for the big, full image. I'm planning on playing with the colours and tidying it up a little more (perhaps drawing another?) so stay tuned for less janky looking efforts. Thought I'd use the traditional blue desktop for this one though - like someone's went crazy with a pen over it.
Any suggestions, colours, requests etc. for backgrounds, let me know. I don't particularly intend to use one of my own drawings as my wallpaper so if someone out there knows what they'd like to see, I might have a go.

Skull

The above image is from my zine, just a quick thing to post up here really. Today is my first day off in a fortnight and I need to rush. I'm away for a picnic with my girl. A real one - bikes, baskets, tartan blanket, the lot. Bye bye.

Watering Can

The above image is from my Red Neck zine. Still available in my online shop (which I'm planning to expand if not this week, then next). Thanks very much to anyone who's picked on up so far and apologies for my month-long sales pitch. Haha, incidentally, they are now also available at Analogue.
In a very British way, I think I've been trying to post a lot about other people's work recently to reassure myself that, after a nice little spell at selling my wares online, I'm not so blinded by success that I now only care about shifting prints and living the big life. By 'big life', I of course mean 'buying a new pair of trainers and perhaps some wheels for my skateboard'.

What I Wore Today 11
My 11th What I Wore Today drawing for the awesome Flickr group. If I'm being honest, this is what I wore 2 days ago. What I'm wearing now, a grey t-shirt and jeans, was too boring to draw.
Along with this post, I'd like to give some shout-outs. Firstly, thanks to everyone who has recently bought something from my shop. I've been totally blown away with the response and I'm feeling pretty motivated to make some new work. Thanks to Jez Burrows for putting my zine up on It's Nice That. I was hyped as hell. And although I'll never admit to namesearching, I have noticed a few blogs and tumblr things with links headed my way - so if you've been nice enough to point people in my direction, I'm very grateful.
Two sites in particular got in touch to say they featured me - Discreet Math and Sooner Than Now. Check out both of those - they're really fantastic.
Hello also to any new readers. Thanks for taking the time. If you're so inclined, subscribe to my blog and you'll be notified of any future nonsense. OK, that's enough. You'd think I'd won an Oscar.

Rock, Paper, Scissors Print
Another thing the Dundee Jamboree gave me a chance to do was to print my first ever unassisted Gocco screenprint on my new PG-10 machine. I decided to start out simply with a little re-doing of a rock, paper scissors thing from ages ago. It turned out ok! I didn't mess up!
You can have a look at a scan of the artwork here - I'm quite happy with it. Hands are a funny one - sometime they go ok and sometimes they go really wrong. Putting thumbs in the wrong place was always a killer for me. That and stupid wrists.
Anyway, the Rock, Paper, Scissors print is now available for dirt-cheap (£6) in my shop. It's on some nice paper in an edition of 50. All hand-printed by myself, signed and numbered. I destroyed the screen (well, it kinda destroyed itself), so this is the only run I intend to produce.
But wait... there's more! I had a little play around with some watercolours on a few roughs and quite liked how they looked so I decided to hand-colour a few of the finished prints:
So now 20 of the 50 prints are hand-painted with watercolours, making them even more unique (by definition, that's not possible but you know what I mean). I've put them up as a different item in my shop for a few extra pennies (patter for £4), so there's no confusion between the two. They're part of the same run though.
Watercolour is notoriously difficult you photograph so the detail is quite subtle on these pictures. You can click on the images for bigger versions. The real-life colour is a little stronger. I didn't want to crank up the saturation artificially though. They look good. Promise.
So that's the new Rock, Paper, Scissors prints. Available in clean, crispy black & white or hand-painted colour. Here are the details:

What I Wore Today 7

Ever since being taught at school that tracing was a very bad way of learning how to draw, I've left well alone. I always viewed it as a bit of a cop-out. Not quite cheating, just kinda being a bit lazy. Recently, however, I've been really loving a lot of work that uses tracing. It has this great mixture of reality and wonkiness that can be really odd and interesting.
So, I had a little go. It's not quite what I was after, but I kinda like it. As with anything (like magic or dynamite), it can be used for good or evil and it's something I intend to explore more thoroughly. I guess tracing it a bit more of a slippery slope than some other techniques in that, should you rely on it too much, you're gonna screw up your brain. It is the cocaine of the drawing world.
