Unicorns are Real. “For Realsies?”

This guy glows in the dark and accepts his existence. Day 15 of Inktober 2018. A real Unicorn inking, on a wooden panel with pink UV-fluorescent Molotow ink. That comes out orange in the dark when you shine a black lamp across the surface.

I saw a competition on the Inktober website to win loads of stuff. The Adobe MAX + Inktober Contest. The OCT 15 prompt was LIGHT.

So I though an old cheeky glowing Unicorn would be fitting for this subject.

This creation is for my niece Freya, so I hope she likes it.

Inktober Day 1 theme is Poisonous

Poisonous “That’s Out of Order”

Inktober Day One Poisonous digital ink drawing

So Inktober has started and I’m going to crack on and draw everyday, may post every two days. But wanted to get this one out. My mate Jay sent me a pic of him flipping the bird and said sketch this. So I did a Poisonous version of his pic. I used Kyle Webster’s Marker set of pens on adobe Sketch to create this monster.

Jay’s suggestion for what I should draw for Inktober on day one.

Official Inktober 2018 prompt list

Every October, artists all over the world take on the Inktober drawing challenge by doing one ink drawing a day the entire month. 31 days, 31 drawings.

Mia Mascara Sheds Tears in a Time Warp

A spin-off illustration of a piece called "Hot Oven" about a girl encased in a time warp. Whose tears have made her Mascara run. In the original illustration, Mia dressed in her night gown is taking a casserole out of the oven wearing a fish oven glove. In the other hand, she holds a Martini glass. Why she is crying is a mystery. I leave that up to the viewer to decide.

I made this illustration from a photo of a beautiful girl I met in Florence called Mia. She makes intriguing story based photos. Sometimes, some people, just make me want to draw.

Chasing Amy series gets a colour injection on Art Rookie

First up in the Chasing Amy series to get an injection of colour is "Moment of Madness". My personal fave in the comic strip of nine panels. Originally screen printed on acrylic sheets in black and white. Since then I've coloured them in. Next will be PHEEP.

Screen printing them will be a little bit more expensive but for now there are unsigned digital prints available on Art Rookie of "Moment of Madness". I do like both the stark black and white and colour. But it's good to see them side by side in the two different styles. Original source photos taken by my friend, Ben Dome.

The Ghouls are coming

Having just recently rewatched They Live. I thought I would draw my own ghoul from the film. Those sunglasses really do expose what lies beneath the surface of society. This film is even more relevant now than it was in the 80s.

Battle of Waterloo

The Battle of Waterloo 2015 down the graffiti tunnel on the London South Bank

I went down to check out The Battle of Waterloo at Leake Street Graffiti tunnel near London's South Bank. Lots of tight stylish writers and energetic street art was on show, presented by the paint shop Chrome & Black.

About 40 artists took part in The Battle, which filled the tunnel with a cloud of sweet smelling spray paint mixed with barbecued jerk chicken, being sold to hungry punters. DJ's pumped out some hefty beats making the party bounce. Even the British Transport Police made an appearance. It looked like they were being taught how to hold a spray can, by one of the artists.

Slam was the overall winner of the £250 prize money, Diet came second and Debug came third.
