Inktober and Slowvember 2018 – a very belated wrap-up for this year’s art challenges

I got a confession to make – I’m friggin addicted to the SVS podcast: Three Points Perspective, which I listened to in loop when all the podcast updates’d been done. This is perhaps not that strange considering that two of my favourite illustrations-related Youtube channels’ been the Mr Jake Parker and Will Terry’s channels. I often listen to them while I hammer away at my … Continue reading Inktober and Slowvember 2018 – a very belated wrap-up for this year’s art challenges

‘Tis the time of printing and re-printing~

So, the Inktober 2018 and Slowvember drawings have finally been processed, packaged, and sent out to print, I thought I’d reviewed a few of my smaller zines that I’ve printed in the past year.

I … Continue reading Slowvember 2018 and Draw 50 Things

Inktober 2018 – Finished, not Perfect!

Brainstorm – sketch – struggle – struggle more – cursed the limited 24-hr day one has – repeat. It’s been a busy year, but October – Inktober had really claimed the crown for the MOST HECTIC time of the year so far! If I have the choice, I’ll never try juggling a month full of animal experiments with a-ink-piece-a-day challenge. The schedule almost crushed me … Continue reading Inktober 2018 – Finished, not Perfect!
