Talented Sculpter, Model Maker and Friend Emily Arnold has – with her super-magical hands – created this model of the Hero from Turtle Guitar! I think it’s absolutely fantastic! If you’d like to contact Emily and tell her how cool she is, you can email her by clicking here.
Do you want one? 
I did this drawing a while ago and entered it into the open call for the book Beasts! 2, it didn’t win, but it was great fun to do. The idea of Beasts! is that illustrators draw mythological creatures in a contempory/personal way. I did a Phoenix. Check out the other entrants on the Hopeful Beasts Flickr Pool! 
Pocket Monster is a new project I have been working on, and now Series One is ready to fly off the shelves!
Me and Scott Purdy have been doodling away to complete over 50 original monster drawings, which come packed as above, with a little Birth Certificate signed by the artist, and a page of Care Guidelines, to ensure your Monster is properly cared for!
Each Monster is absolutely unique, your not going to be getting a photocopy, or a digital printout, all the Pocket Monster packs contain Original artwork on high quality acid free card. The Birth Certificates in each pack have been hand written by the artist, who may have named their monster, or left it for you to name! And guess what, the Monsters have been magically mixed up, so when you buy one you will get a random Monster by one of the series contributors (me or Scott!).
Pocket Monster packs will be making their way around the usual channels, but if you would like to grab one today, before they are all sold out, they are available at my Strange Alchemy Bookshop!
Got your Monster already? Please let us know what you think!
Hello!
Since completing my first comic, Turtle Guitar, I have been working on the next tale, set in the same world, and its now time to reveal the title, and a little bit of the story!
Where Grows the Bitter Herb
Will be the title of ‘Comic Number 2′. The story follows our hero who is thrust into a wild adventure where he must traverse the untamed landscape in a quest to save his sick mother.
This is not a sequel to Turtle Guitar, and our hero is a different character entirely (though you wouldn’t know it too look at him!). The world will be familiar but you can expect to explore more of it from different perspectives as our heroes journey takes unexpected twists and turns through varied and perilous environments…
Where Grows the Bitter Herb is due out later this year, more preview content from the comic will be available right here as it progresses!
And don’t forget you can see 3 pages of this forthcoming comic (2 full colours prints and one original pen and ink page) at the Riverside Gallery, Richmond, as part of the Liveline Comics Exhibition 2008 (read below for more info!)
I’ve had a little play at designing some Tshirts, and here are a few rough designs, what do you think, would you wear a Turtle Guitar shirt?
Click to view them full size!
Liveline 2008 is now open until the 12th of April, and entry is free!
See my earlier post if you don’t know what im talking about!
