Giant Space Octopus Attacking/Embracing the Pink Moon


'Nuther one. When I get around to putting out Pink Moon on vinyl this will possibly be on the cover.

Want prints?

I am also putting my pictures on my deviantart page, and I have it set up so that you can buy things with my pictures on! You can get prints, mugs, magnets, mousemats, and other things that may or may not begin with the letter M. To go straight to the prints click here.

Whatever the weather...

When trying to photograph a new picture yesterday I discovered that photographing plasticine artwork with natural light only works when the sun is out and it's not overcast. This is very annoying as the weather isn't exactly reliable. I guess I have the summer to save up for some kind of lighting device before light becomes a rare comodity, though I don't really know what I can get that isn't going to have me eating plain rice for a month.

Hello internet!

Hi! This is my new blog. I've recently remembered how much I love making pictures, and as I don't have a lot on at the moment I'm going to make lots of them and put them on here for everyone to see. I do illustrations using plasticine in a relief style (ie. on a flat surface but raised), and I love bold, simple images and bright colours. The hand-made quality of the plasticine gives it a fun, quirky quality, yet there can be a sinister aspect to the starkness of the images.

Anyway, enough of the mouthing, here's a picture:




And here's a couple of pictures I did at uni, it was for a competition to make images that could be used in adverts for Orange. I didn't win. I still maintain that this was because I didn't stick the label on the back of the pictures securely enough (possibly).

This one is "Internet and phone together". It features the mug-fork, the umbrella-pan , the vacuum-shower, and of course the hamster-toast rack.



And the theme for this one was "bigger networks"


There should be plenty more coming in the next few months!
