There is a sneek of my painting on that flier… can you spot it?
So the weekend before last we ventured down to Bristol for a bunch of shows I have work in.. And its taken me until now to get around to writing it up..
On the Sunday at the “Tobacco Factory” there was “Munny Shot”. This was some 200 Munny toys all customised and up on view in a huge room with Dj’s, Vj’s and all sorts of artists.
I did this little chap :
He’s called “Sepia” and he is one of many up for auction for charity.. The action runs during the show until the end of March so get on over to the Ik’sentrik website at http://www.iksentrik.co.uk and click on the Munny Shot or “Doktor A” links to place a bid and see all the others available.
Running at the same time next door was another show called “Higher Court”. Due to some hiccup with the venue a lot of the pieces at this show had to be shunted in with the Munny show next door so it was a little hard to see some of the toy pieces but it did mean that myself and PlaysKewl (a very talented graphic artist from the Netherlands http://www.playskewl.com ) had a mini join show of our artworks.
The red walls set the canvases off really well I think.
Better pictures of my pieces are now up on my website in the PAINT section so go and have a look..
Anyway back in the main room I met the splendid Sket-One a graffiti artists and toy designer from New York.
Thats him and me drawing in peoples sketchbooks, which was a feature of the night. Its odd being asked to drak something on demand by people you have never met before. I lost track of how many doodles I did in books, on posters, t-shirts and toys… It was very surreal. Producing artwork in a nightclub situation, with vary little light and a few beers… I dont think I really screwed up on any though…
This is Mr. PlaysKewl (Right) and the splendid Mr.Lunartik (http://www.lunartik.com ) acting all tough!
And this is the equally splendid Mr.Huck Gee (also from New York http://www.huckgee.com ) and Miranda, editor of Clutter magazine… They were in full on party mode…
There were many other artists in attendance but I didnt get to chat with that many people as I was drawing a lot of the time and so also didnt get many more photos..
The following night was another show just down the road.. But thats another post..
Today I added another FOUR PODDY pictures to the PODDYVILLE part of Spookypop.com (link above)
Two paintings and two digital.
Also some of my older artwork should be appearing soon on fliers for the JUDDER Industrial club in Cheltenham UK… check it out http://www.judder.org

So I have been trying to learn MAYA. A 3D animation and modeling package. It’s a steep curve but am starting to make some dent on it. Here is the first project of my own. I decided to give the DALEK a makeover.
Given it a rethink. The creature now stays in it’s sealed pod and the whole cage unit/life support is moved from transport base to emperor base to heavy weapon base to whatever. The creature never need leave it’s protective cocoon. Also the skirt part can be used closed in a strong armour configuration we are used to, or split open to cross difficult terrain such as STAIRS!
Yes it does look a bit Steam-Punk. I cant get enough of those rivets….
I have illustrated the new album cover for Debut UK rock Wunderkind “Pornovurt”.
The CD is out next week (8th I think) and is available from all major music outlets (Tower, HMV, Virgin, Woolworth, Play.com etc etc) Its also on preorder on most of these shop’s websites.
For more info check out the ban’s homepage : http://www.pornovurt.com
There is a launce party at Madam JoJo’s in London and a Uk tour to follow that.And an online single is available now.
The Album is blinding!
