Music Monday

It's Music Monday again! This week as it's Halloween I've decided to pick a vaguely haunting song to draw to. I chose 'Nightcall' by Kavinsky feat. Lovefoxx. Love this song a lot. Creepy as anything.

And apparently it's on the soundtrack to that Ryan Gosling film 'Drive'. But I heard it wayyyy before it became mainstream. Obviously. *scoffs*

Retro Weather Necklace

Just a quick one to let you know you can now buy my Retro Weather Necklace over at my ETSY SHOP. My sister volunteered to model it after a lot of bickering and persuasion. She's a beaut.

Music Monday

My eyes well hurt after drawing this.

Here it is, the second edition of Music Monday - where I draw something in response to some song or other that I've been listening to. This week, I've been listening to M83's new album 'Hurry up, we're dreaming'. I personally really like it, it's had a lot of flack in music blogs for it being pretentious but where would we be without a bit of pretentiousness? Plus they're French so it's ok. 

Anyway, I'm a bit of a shallow one when it comes to songs, because I usually just buy singles and this is the first time in ages that I've appreciated an album in full. This illustration was done in response to the first track on the album, "Intro", featuring Zola Jesus who I also like. 

You can download the album HERE and I suggest you do. A good one to listen to in a dark room before bed.

Music Monday

Whenever I'm drawing I constantly have to have music on - I don't understand those people who have to have in silence in order to get anything done. Anyway, to keep me drawing regularly and to tell you about the music I like, I've decided to do this new thing where I do a quick drawing based on a song that I love. And I'm going to do it on a Monday. Therefore, it's MUSIC MONDAY. 

This first one is a line from "Why Even Try" by Theophilus London. 

I'm really not sure of the meaning of this song, but all I know is it sounds great, has an 80s vibe to it, there's a lot of rapping going on and it's really catchy. And I often catch myself accidentally dancing to it. Here's the video. 

Computer Arts Projects

Hey y'all, I'm in the latest issue of Computer Arts Projects magazine. The issue is all about how to sell things you make and it's well good so you should probably buy it if you're into that kind of stuff.

Hey

So I buggered off to get drunk in Plymouth for a couple of days, came back and my 'Things That Hipsters Like' illustration is doing the rounds on Tumblr. Awesome, and hello new followers!

I got these giclee prints done before I went, and I like money, so if you want one head on over to my Etsy shop. They're £25 and printed up all posh on nice paper and signed and that. 

Help.

Hey you. Here's a design what I done for All Tropical's "Ghosts Of Gone Birds" t-shirt competition. 

This is a super important and special and cool competition because the shirts will be sold at the Ghosts Of Gone Birds exhibition in London, which is raising awareness for conservation of birds. A load of well famous artists, musicians and artists have been commissioned to produce work for the event, which is being held from the 2nd-23rd November at the Rochelle School, Arnold Circus, Shoreditch.

I need your help. Please can you vote for my design HERE. 

You may have to register with All Tropical before you vote but it only takes like 2 seconds.

 The best 10 designs will then be taken to the next stage where Guy Garvey from the band Elbow, Jimi Goodwin from the band Doves and Marc Riley, the DJ from BBC 6 music will choose their fave 2 designs to be printed.
