Distraction in action

Been playing in photoshop again recently, here is the end result of the latest image.

Richard Goodhall Gallery – A visit

Went to the above named gallery in Manchester yesterday. Finally got a chance to have a proper look around the place, after a few previous attempts had ended in failure due to closed or closing times. Anyway some marvelous art work on the walls and still predominately based on American gig poster artwork. However there now appears to be a UK element creeping in. Which has got me thinking about producing some of my own. First off to use a previous image that I’ve done for a mock Electric Wizard or Blood Ceremony poster. There’s a lot of really lovely work on the walls, one thing that struck me is that the “finish ” that I crave can come from applying art to something, also there’s the more professional elemt of a lot of the work, but I don’t feel as though that is beyond me. So to that end I intend to get off my arse and really start to produce some work. The thought has also struck me about getting in touch with local gig places such as Central Station and running up some posters for their shows.
All good, but I ‘ve got to get on and do. Generaqting ideas isn’t ever a problem getting them properly finished off is. Like the board game I designed last year. A wander around both Forbidden planet and a Role playing games shop was enough to convince me that the game had some mileage. Now that I feel like I’m moving in the right direction I need to crack it open again and properly finish it.

Gods there’s going to be a lot to do this year. also I think I’m going to split my work between two different paths, which may mean I split this blog in two, one for the light path and one for the dark.

When someone gave her a shove down the staircase.

Delays in updating this blog, mainly due to a rubbish connection speed. Fist off then is a pic inpsired by the Cramps song “Naked Girl Falling Down the Stairs”. It’s part of the ongoing W.o.W project I’m doing with Shane and Heather. There’s also one to do for John Cooper Clark, “Beasly St” which I have a definite idea for but that has yet to emerge.

Anyway here’s the pic.

Missing words

Right I’ve been slacking on the update front of late. That I’m having problems getting anything to upload due to extreme slowness of internetivity doesn’t help matters either. Anyway here’s a few word of the week images that I’ve neglected to put up on this blog, they are on the Art of Wow blogpage, just haven’t put on here. Going through another funny path at the moment, doing drawings, but I’m not taking them through to a level of finish, thay are remaining at the sketch level only. Don’t know why….
So here are the last three word of the week entries for CORNISH, CITY and PLAY. See if you can match the images to the words. Or not. There’s no prize or anything, so on reflection I’d err on the NOT side.

The current word of the week, which I’m already late with is VOLUME.

Word of the Week – VESSEL

Seem to be out of synch on the W.o.W front. Anyway the current word was VESSEL. Didn’t stretch my brain to hard to come up with this pic, did think of doing a Buster Bloodvessel pic. As a vampire. But guess what. I didn’t.

Any way here is the Vessel pic

Word of the Week(s) – CONTACT

Hullo, somewhat later than it should have been, here is my word of the week entry for the word CONTACT. I’ve been listening to Coven’s amazing album “Witchcraft Destroys souls and Reaps Minds” and I think it’s had an influence on this image.

Next week it’s VESSEL. Think I’m going to cry.

Word of the Week – Heretic

Word of week time again, after initally thinking tha HERETIC could be a swine of a word, for me it’s ended up being one of the most inspirational. Here the image and sketch of the entry for this week based on an Ordo Hereticus warrior type arse kicker from the Warhammer 40K universe. Or something like that.

Under the influence. – Heaven and Hell ” The Bible Black”

I’ve done some sketching of late working on a few ideas that popped into my head for this weeks word of the week, which incidentally is Heretic. Here’s one of the images that came out of it, not yet my entry for the word, but certainly inspired by it. Inspired also by Heaven and Hells “Bible Black”.

Sweet transvestite.

Word of the week image for SWEET. Had a few ideas knocking about, but settled on this from Rocky Horror via Smarties. I’m thinking of using it for a T-Shirt design also. See how things work out I suppose.

I ♥ Death Metal.

Right here’s a pic I did a week or so ago and have forgotten to post. In an attempt to show some sort of working progression I’ve included the initial, inkup and final image.
