While you were sleeping

There is little in life I enjoy more than the sound of my luggage wheels rumbling over the ground early in the morning. Staying up the whole night, drinking, and then setting out on a new adventure as the sun rises, passing through empty streets as the people of the town sleep.
As I will soon depart on a new adventure I thought I would quickly make a post.

Merman

Nothing to say about this one. Just thought I'd post something before I head out for the day. Clear skies, brilliant sun, cold beer and street markets.

Mumm-ra

A portrait of Mumm-ra, from that epic old cartoon series ThunderCats. Maybe I should do some more of these, or maybe I should remain lethargic in all my artistic endeavours. If my environment should change too quickly, I might become unsuitable, ill-equipped, and soon I will render myself extinct.

And now for a few glasses of wine while I pack up my bags yet again, as will be flying soon and I want to make sure that I am either drunk or hungover by the time I'm in the air. Never wanting to be one that breaks such a standard tradition.

Skull-Fucker

I'm really enjoying the new Zenbook. For the first time I have a fully mobile studio capable of handling anything I can throw at it. I thought I would try a more 'finished' type piece today, something that could perhaps be used as a book cover or illustration. I normally only do these for jobs, and rarely ever do finished pieces for myself. In this I was mostly interested in getting some sort of transparency to the skin, and keeping the rest quite simple. I think my inspirations for this type of art are self apparent. I guess Skelator was also on my mind from the week before, this could be a re-design.

Skelator and Solipsism

We need to talk

One of my most thoroughly enjoyable pastimes is sitting down with some good people, who have no inhibitions and trading theories on various topics. In these talks, I normally end up crying with laughter, or glowing with insight.

And here is me backpacking around the stars. Oorah!

Night's Watch and Ultrabooks

No hangover today, so I was able to do some painting. This started off as a self portrait, then as these things often go, it grew into some other entity without my consent. It reminds me a bit of the Night's Watch.

Below is a close up of the details. The most frustrating part of the whole image was trying to get the lips right. I think I must have redone them about 10 times, they almost became my bane.
