One of the guys I know from my village has this awesome music thing called Catgash...it's basically just mash-ups of contrasting songs, but they're really good! Especially considering he's several years younger than me (17).

I listened to his songs and knew I had to do this for him pretty much straight away. He didn't even know about this until I sent the poster to him...

Most of you will probably be thinking by now, "Man, this guy can draw alright, but can he draw GORE?"

And the answer is....well, kinda.

The idea of someone scraping their fingernails down a concrete wall still gives me the chills, so imagine what I was like when I was inking and the darn thing!

Of all the posters I've done up until this one, and since then, this is my favourite by a long shot. Don't ask me why, chances are the only answer you'd get are "because I like the colours" or something like that. I dunno...I just think everything turned out how I wanted it to, which really doesn't happen as often as I'd like!

Fourth Colon/Bobkins "Double Header" (fictional)

Out of the whole uni project (I had to create two made-up bands and promote them, Fourth Colon being a metal band, Bobkins being Indie/Alternative), this is the part I enjoyed the most. By far. Despite the fact I stayed up for an ENTIRE NIGHT scanning it then colouring the damn thing.

That's what I get for having it A2-sized. And using an A4 scanner to load it onto the computer in tiny sections...

Quickie #3

The third, and last, entry from a short-lived illustration battle between my housemate Joe and I.

I'm sure most of you have been in this situation. More likely so if you are male and have already gone through puberty. You know the thing, you're walking through town minding your own business, then BAM! Surprise erection!

No? Just me? Okay then.

This is possibly the only politically-based poster or piece of work you'll see from me in a while. It's based on the goings on at Tiannamen Square in China back in the 80's, when a student protested by standing in front of a squad of tanks during some riots. Or something like that. You've probably seen the photo anyway...

...and why I drew a guy in China holding a Tesco is totally beyond me.

It's a shame I couldn't spend longer on this poster - I literally got asked to do it on an evening, so this what happens when I panic!

I've had a fair few positive comments on this, despite it being one of the quickest posters I've done...no idea why. Fluke? Yes, definitely a fluke.
