Mystical Creatures

This is a current work in progress, just a bit of fun really, so I don't get rusty while waiting to here about a few things. Going to be doing a series of illustrations similar to this one. So stay posted.

Fishtank Creative, Live Brief....

Fishtank Creative approached the individuals of the Comm Des course at uni and asked them to create and design some headers featuring characters for their new up and coming website.
This was my submission. Did it in like 15 hours all together, last minute as usual of course.

My own lovely boook

One of the things I've been working on recently is creating my own book. This is basically it.

Memoirs of a Doodler by Joshua Bottomley | BOOK INFO

Grumpy Octopus

I pretty much based this on myself...

Geisha...

Yeah, its a geisha. Kinda

Octo-DUDE

I did this on some sticker paper to put up somewhere in the studio and I decided I'd vector the lovely gentleman.

Up the Toxic Creek Without a Paddle

Some fine unemployed gentlemen enjoying the toxic heap of crap that is unemployment itself. This one is A1 and i pretty much made it up as i went along, I didn't even know what i was doing.

Shmoking Posterrr

Found this quote on the good old interwebz and decided I would do a mini poster featuring it. This is pretty much the outcome. It's just a piece of A2 mount board with Posca pen

Get gnarly mannn

A shave every now and again really couldn't go a miss could it? I did a few colour versions on this but got fed up after being in the studio for about 12 hours that day. I'll probably re-visit this.

You have something on your chest dude!

This is Cleveland, he often has a fair bit of trouble keeping his vast chest hairs under control.

Think im Turnin Japanesa!

My good friend Keef was off on his jollies to Tokyo a few weeks ago, the lucky sod!
Before he went he asked me to crack him some shoes out, obviously i never pass up a shoe chance specially when the shoes in question are a nice pair of authentics! He wanted a slightly Japanese theme so I just got straight on with it, hardly planned this at all, because it was near impossible to see pencil on the shoes as Keef decided he would wear them for a bit before i got hold of them, mucky bugger.

Good Evening!

Well kids comrades I seem to have got a little bit bored of the old blog! I think its due to the fact I've found myself cringing at some of the work i have put on there, so I've decided a change of scenery a new start was in order, rather than deleting everything off the old one. I'm still going use the other when I come to developing my creative talents after this year is out. I'll use it for research and the what not I reckon.

So yeah gonna be a fair bit of stuff I've been doing lately uploaded over the next few days, so take a look for Christ's sake man!
