On the 27th of May I did not hang myself because something other than uni work was achieved.
Sneak preview!

And here’s a sketch from earlier tonight just to balance out all the delicate prettiness.
This is the Mari Llwyd of Welsh myth, which I first read about in this amazing passage from Susan Cooper.
One day, when I’m not supposed to be working on a gazillion other projects, I might develop him into a more polished piece!

Ian has since commissioned me to paint a companion piece - here’s a WIP.

I painted this in 2006, and sold it recently to a lovely man named Ian.
Please take a look at my FB page if you’re interested in seeing (or buying!) more of my work.

Hooray! This is my piece of guest art for Noel Heimpel’s delightful comic Ignition Zero. This is Hayden: crotchety barista by day, resigned to fighting the forces of evil by night. How could I resist drawing him?
The comic itself is lovely - a bunch of very colourful (and often adorable) characters. Not to mention Noel has lovingly painted the whole thing in watercolour, which makes it beautiful as well as fun.

A preview.
I’ll reveal the full picture tomorrow if it doesn’t get accepted. If it does, you’ll have to wait a week or two!
I’ve had quite a lot of fun emulating that sorta crude chapbook-woodcut style. However… my tablet no longer does pressure sensitivity (poor thing, it’s a decade old) which means I have to erase the end of every line to make it pointy. Every line. Worth it.

Ptoby -
Ptoby, why
why is your hair like that
what have you done to it
you look like an idiot.
Ptoby’s universe is not the same universe that once contained Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Oscar Wilde but he’s damn well making up for that blatant cosmic oversight.

That last picture owes a lot to Norman Lindsay, an Australian artist and writer famous for his 1918 book The Magic Pudding. He pretty decisively won a bet with the success of that book, proving that children would rather read about food than about fairies.
His cartoons were wonderful, but he’s also remembered for his extraordinary nudes. Sixteen crates of his work were once burned as pornography after finding their way to the USA. His home and studio in the Blue Mountains have been turned into a museum for all of his artistic work, and Children’s Book Week festivities are held there each year beneath the myriad improbably-proportioned bare bosoms that line the walls.
I do like complicated people.
