I'm trying to pick the font and composition for the first thing I'm planning to put on Society 6.
I'm always so indecisive at this point! Helpppppp!

John Watson

God I hated doing the jumper on this! I was cursing 'John's oatmeal jumper' as it is known in fandom. But overall this was a fun colour experiment.

Love this woman! This is a little bit of an experiment that didn't pan out, but I like it all the same...

Sherlock Fanart

I am a massive fan of anything Sherlock Holmes related; the books, movies, radio shows, anything.
I got completely hooked when I was little after I saw Jeremy Brett playing Holmes on ITV. In my opinion he will always embody how Arthur Conan Doyle intended Sherlock to behave and look.
Saying that Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in the BBC adaptation are fantastic, I'm reserving judgement on the 'Elementary' version but I'm feeling dubious from what I've seen so far.

Anyway this was my first illustration done with Illustrator and then finished off in photoshop. I'm liking Illustrator so far although like all Adobe programs it has such a steep learning curve.

Also it should be said I am obsessed with mist and smoke, obsessed I tell you!

Halloween is Coming

Little bit of pre-Halloween fun with a quote from Macbeth.

I love drawing smoke...

Procrastinating...

So while avoiding job hunting (because I still find it hard to believe I've actually graduated!) I do things like create a customised trainer for Iron Man...

I think this shows that graduating does not necessarily mean maturing!

Picked Up My Tablet for the First Time in a Month

Bit of digital painting practice, I think Devon Aoki is so beautiful.

So how is eveyone?

Freelancing

So through a random google search I found this post by Ben O'Brien which, although seems a bit bleak at first, it finishes optimistically and is good advice. I thought I would share:

HTML hurts my brain

HTML is killing me but I know I need to learn how to use it to some degree.
I spent the entire evening trying to link in my social media buttons to this blog - I'm ridiculously proud that I've managed to add my flickr, pinterest and twitter accounts. Yay!
Now onto better templates and headers....
