The Kids Are All Distracted

I know it's been a while. I'm sorting some stuff out re: the blog, but for a while, check this:

Hello!

"I've been out of the world for a spell."

Hey guys, what's up?

So yeah I've not really been very creative of late. Life has been a bit pants.

But it's getting better, and I'm working on something..! Might hold some sort of competition or something..

Actually, YES, let's play a game!

So we got some Mexican Wrestlers.

They need names.

These are only sketches, but they're the ideas behind where it's going.

Wrestler #1:

Red 5, standing by...

Hey people! I trust everyone had a Joyous Yuletide.

First of all, DAMN you Santa only working one day a year, when just three days after your shift, these sweet babies wander into my life:

I think I just came.

Christmas Greetings, Take The Power Back

So we, the people, have done it. Rage Against The Machine are UK Christmas number 1 with Killing in the Name!

To be honest, my involvement in it had very little do do with sticking a finger to Simon Cowell, I just kind of thought it would be cool. Almost 20 years of hard work (yeah, the album 'Rage Against the Machine' was 1992) has paid off.

But when I heard that the campaign was raising money for Shelter, I definitely wanted to be a part of it. Rage have said that a large amount of the proceeds they receive will go to Shelter, which is great, but the campaign has raised an incredible £70,000.

Talk about people power, right?

Millions of people tuned in to vote Joe McElderry the winner of X Factor, and thousands made Rage number one. I'm so proud of our little island for this. Shows that we're not all pricks.

So if anyone has any spare pennies, head over to http://www.justgiving.com/ratm4xmas/ and drop them a couple of quid if you can.

Merry Christmas, guys.

Almost forgot...

Oh, yeah, and

Happy 1st December, people!

Sustainable: Me?

So here's some work I did for my personal project. Any comments/critiques would be greatly appreciated. I know there's things I could have done, things I should have done, but I must admit I was kinda slack on this one.

I was just so fed up of it! Images are kinda small, I'll get some hi-res ones up soon.

Peace!

'Sustainability'

Maaaan, there's been so much work on in uni.

I'm so fed up of Sustainability, I just don't care about the environment anymore! That's obviously not necessarily true, of course, but this project has really taken it out of me.

Ah well, two weeks left before Christmas break!

Still, we've got an essay and two book cover designs to do for the last day.

I've also been given a job with a friend's uni course, which is going to be a lot of work - but it's paid work, and I'm really excited about the work load!

Speaking of which, I'm still open for commissions, and I'm going to be doing postcard sized one-offs for sale, also.

So if you want some personalised Christmas gifts or anything, hit me up at

Peace!
