peewee and dark peewee

Hell yes! Go glitter pens! They don't show up well on the scanner but they're a bit blingier in the flesh. Also found out after my last doodle (that I didn't post) and much to my anguish, my scanner doesn't recognize neon markers. I've come to the conclusion that neon is a vampiric entity and while we can see it on our sketch pads, technology refuses to acknowledge it's ancient magical properties and therefore cannot come to terms with its existence.

Lucy is queen of moves

Clearly, the only reason why people laugh at me when I'm strutting my funky dance moves is because they're in awe. You know, like how people laugh after successful magic trick because they believe it to be impossible. They see my gyrating awesome and they think 'how can a mere mortal move with the spectacular grace of a mating goose?'. Some people are just blessed with the power of dance and others...aren't. Poor beasts.

environmental creature 3 - Sock

This is Sock. He be a rock monster and he be giving his look of "Why must life be so cruel.." either that or..."My Sky box didn't record Supernatural last night....it feels like my heart has been eaten by a swarm of diseased house flies". True story.

I may do a 4th creature or I may eat that month old haribo sweetie that's been staring at me from my bedside table. It grew a leg too.

'something different' part 2

This is my second environmental creature; he's quite a happy chappy. He's called Cloody.

something different

I'm drawing some little environmental-based creatures, not for the Intervention System, just for some fun art times. I want to make them my first clay project. I've never made anything with clay before. I can feel the fail in the air.
This is my first guy is a forest creature, he's called Wormwood, mostly because I like worms...from the wood...and they taste like chicken.

marker dabbling for my comic and thoughts

I've been asked by quite a few people recently what I intend to do with The Intervention System. It's been a bit difficult deciding because it started out as a personal art project that represented some of the themes in my life up to this point, heh, in the guise of weird little creatures. Hey, that's how I deal with things :)
So I've decided to do a comic book. Having little experience in this field, I'm kinda just going with how I think it should look and have written a little story, as an introduction to The System.
 I'm doing it for myself but I would love other people to be interested, you know, people who like cute, quirky, sometimes creepy illustrations and those looking for a little more meaning than just the creatures themselves, but also with a little humour. I've done the first 4 pages so far, ha, a long way to go methinks.
 Anyway, I was just drawing ideas and such and using my markerlove. This is an Interpreter and Gatherer in the office, I want their world to be quite organic, like a kind of living planet but also with technology powered by the planet. Watch this space for updates :)

Thoughts




I've just been thinking recently about little gestures, you know, just things that are said or done that have an impact on our lives even in the smallest of ways. Even though these people move on, grow up and eventually cease to be, we don't forget it. Most of the people who have positively influenced the way I think about the world will never even know how their words or actions changed me, they'll never get thanked for it, but they still made a difference. I'd like to think I will do that for someone else one day.

Gatherer and thoughts

Another Gatherer for The Intervention System. I'm thinking of having a page with descriptions and maybe another page for T.I.S art experiments on the same site. Because I'm grabbing new doodling implements and like to mix it up, there's less consistency. Maybe I'll just draw one image of each creature, standard colouring, style, perspective, like a bio, then have another page for the T.I.S character art in all it's forms.

Then again, I might just eat some pasta...
