Went for third run in as many days hopefully the headaches are now a thing of the past.

Still working on the 'Tankini' strip.

Marker, pencil crayon, pen and ink.

This is a colouring experiment for the Tankini strip, I don't think it has the right balance. I'm also not convinced it looks like the character is climbing out of a pool.

Those who know me will know I've been sitting on this idea for years, I've spent most of the day steaming ahead on a 3 page strip featuring 'Tankini'.

Inception broke my head by the way, awesome film, highly recommended.

Here's another of my concept sketches for the MUNNYMUNTH competion. This is the first version of a robot I like to call 'Funkobot'. The Funkobots have been with me for a while, they feature heavily in my previous site.Just click here.

Went for my first run in ages this morning, a morning run wasn't even a remote possibility when the headaches were at their worst.

Am off to see Inception at the IMAX shortly and am rather excited.

Here's another of my concept sketches for the MUNNYMUNTH competion. This chap I named 'Dr. Preposterous'.

Not much to write, making a flying round trip to London shortly.

Here's another of my concept sketches for the MUNNYMUNTH competion. This chap I named 'iBall'. Yeah, I know that's bad.

Can't seem to get motivated today, just sat through all of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. My word, how bad is that film and the special effects are shocking.

Gonna try the drawing board again, here's hoping some motivation/inspiration strikes me.

Here's another of my concept sketches for the MUNNYMUNTH competion. This chap I named 'Gurgle'.

Got through all I needed to do, and guess what? That's right... today my head doesn't hurt. Whoop Whoop!

So I'm gonna crack on with the stuff I've been meaning to finish for ages.

This was one of my concept sketches for the MUNNYMUNTH competion. I'm contemplating posting one a day for the next few days. This chap I named 'Fump'.

Thanks to all who voted.

One day left of voting for the people's choice award for Kidrobot's 'MUNNYWORLD: MUNNYMONTH' Huge customizing contest.

Results tomorrow, fingers crossed.

This was completely un-thought about, I have a tendancy to over layout a drawing. This was literally "Ooh, that's a cool image, let's try and do a version." 30 minutes later. "Right, leave it."

OK, so this Doodle of the Day malarky didn't last long, but I do have a genuine excuse.

I haven't been very well, culmintating in a camera having to be put up my nose to have a look at the back of my sinuses. Nice.

Customized Kidrobot 'Munny'.

This is my entry for Kidrobot's 'MUNNYWORLD: MUNNYMONTH' Huge customizing contest.

Designed and built by me and my Dad, all the shiney metal is actually sterling silver, my Dad's a Goldsmith so built it all from scratch to my specifications. See some of his stuff at his site,just click here.

I finished this painting on Thursday evening, (you can see a work in progress in my previous post) but having subsequently made a flying visit to London I've only had a chance to upload an image this morning.

Hanging on a dirty purple wall in Hackney.

When I have the chance I love to paint, so spent the day doing just that.

I have rather a soft spot for the design and style sensibilities of the 1960's so have been trying to keep the painting 'cool'. That was the intention but my efforts seem to have turned out as rather 'Jason Brooks'-esque. Not such a bad thing, I really admire his work.

You may notice a green canvas on the wall in the background. It's part of a set of 3 50cm x 50cm canvases painted in 2008.

For ages I've been toying with the idea of creating my own comic book. I finally think I've come up with a workable concept, and have been playing around with a logo idea.

My favourite attempt at the 'Short Skirts and Sneakers' logo.

I was invited by Paul Hill to spend the day at the Kin Creative Sudio in the Canal Basin in Coventry, good day, got 'some' cool drawings done.

'Hilly' deisgns awesome book covers.

Have a look at his work at the Kin Creative web-site:

Been working on a competition entry to create a logo for Mark Millar, the writer of Wanted, Kick-Ass and many of my favourite Marvel Comics.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments about the new (this) site.

After hours of nose to the keyboard, pimping my work and web-site, I look up to see a winter wonderland has appeared.

When did that happen?

OK, so it's not a doodle, but it is where I'm drawing today. It's actually a nice place to be.

...so I think it's done, I think all the bugs are worked out and the majority of kinks ironed flat, but we'll have to wait and see.

I'm sure you'll let me know if there's something amiss.

Found this in one of my notebooks and quite like it.

...and here it is a web-site that finally focuses on the work itself; not the design or build of the site that it's presented within.

It's taken a bit of work, and a lot of "don't need this", "don't need that", basically whatever distracted the viewer away from the work itself I removed.

Though it may look like the simplest site I've created it actually seems to have been the most complicated to build... and I'm no Coder.

So honourable mentions go to: Stu "Cheers, I owe you." and Mark "Thanks".

But at the end of the day (footballers favourite catch-phrase), I hope y'all like it.

There are IE bugs to be sorted but that'll be fixed shortly, if your're viewing this in Safari, Firefox or IE10, it'll work fine.
