Self Portrait

For our Degree show this upcoming May our class decided to complete self portraits in order to identify each others work.  Last year we all had flip books of ourselves, so this year it is our own self portrait in our own style of illustration.

I've not finished this portrait mainly because I wanted to add a few more things that represent myself into it, and to also refine the colouring a little more.

I added one of my favourite characters from Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away, along with the symbol of one of my favourite bands.  Both art and music mean a lot to me so it's important that they be represented in my self portrait.

Stark's Coffee & Comics

A friend of mine, who is an admirer of my work, is setting up his own business for a coffee and comic book shop in Liverpool.  He wanted it to be strongly based on comic books and asked me if I would draw him and his two partners into a comic book format.  This will be used in his promotional video for the shop and hopefully he'll ask me to do more artwork for him in the future.

The brief was to have a front cover, as if it was a real comic and then a first page inside.  So far I am working on the front cover for the comic.
