Ste's New Spaceman

This is my new version of my spaceman with the butterflies coming out of this oxygen supply. I think it works better in black and white. I will do a colour version of this later in the year.

Ste's Zombie Self-Portrait

This is myself as a zombie for Halloween. Mark had this idea of everyone in the studio do an image relating to Halloween. I was mainly inspired by the TV series ‘The Walking Dead’. I have always wanted to do a zombie image, and I thought this would be a good chance to do this.

Boneyard Butterfly

This is the illustration I entered for the Peculiar Bliss magazine. Originally I was going to enter a goblin sat on a toadstool smoking a cig. But I felt like I was trying to hard with that idea. So I sent the butterfly image instead.

Ste's Spaceman

This spaceman image is totally self-indulgent. I was mainly inspired by the movie ‘2001 A Space Odyssey’. The main idea was to have a spaceman floating in space next to something dream like or surreal. So I decided to have butterflies coming out of his oxygen supply.

Above is the rough sketch

Here’s the watercolour image. I am not totally happy with the outcome of spaceman because blue is such a hard colour to paint with. So I am going to redo this image using pencil and digital. Then I can try out lots of different colour schemes.

Ste's Work Space

This is what my desk looks like at the moment. I have finally put that framed poster up. Also I am working on something new.

Peculiar Bliss

Mark has known about Peculiar Bliss (an online zine) for a while and it's almost becoming a regular thing for him, but this time round myself and Ste decided to enter it alongside him.

Issue 7's brief was "Creatures"
