Finished her:



Alright I suppose its time for a new blog post huh?

Sin and I have really been struggling financially since she quit her job way back last year, but things are finally getting much much better.

I've been doing some massive agency illustration work since last october.
- 26 illustrations for a major tobacco company that took 7 weeks to finish.
- Character concepts for Cluedo board game by Hasbro.
- Packaging art illustration for Cluedo, (This one came out pretty cool!)
- Official Xbox Magazine Illustrations
- Character art for Monopoly

Etc.

After being broke for so long the $ is finally starting to come through, on top of this Sin is now working full time as a manager at GAME.

Woot! We can live like normal people now!
We both got Iphones, so here is a couple of phone cam pics. Enjoy.



I photo of myself. God Forbid.

Buffy, being the usual buffy.

A blurry Sin .

Uber sexy bedtime phone cam pic. The flash blinded us for a good 5 minutes.


Work calmed down a little bit and I got the chance to get out of the studio and take a trip to Mornington to check out this new place we found. Paula's Lounge Bar.

I sat here all day and did some sketching and listened to music. I will definately be doing this again.

All the furniture is Victorian, hence why we love the place. It's all for sale too, but a little pricey.
Here is a couple of sketches I managed to do.



The last two were suggestions from the Facebook fanpage.
And this is why I love my iPhone, I dont care if I am a hipster.
I was taking pics of the sketches and uploading them on there straight away, and getting feedback and suggestions. In the bar. Which to me, is awesome.

So between jobs the yesterday Ive been sketching this out:


I'll work on it for 10 minutes and then a client email comes and diverts my attention.
It's Saturday today, I have a Hasbro and Xbox job on the go, but I think I might devote today to getting this coloured up and finished.

Sunday is Sin's day off work so we plan on going Antique shopping. The goal is to make the bedrooms and studio as awesome as our antique filled lounge room is.
I also need to find some candelabras and lamps to sit on my new Pionala that I purchased the other day.
It's 60 years old and was only $150. I don't have it yet but when it arrives I will surely be taking photos.

So apart from that news, the only other things I have been doing is trying to work on my personal projects whenever I can find the time and inspiration. I've had some characters/scenario in my head for 7 years and I really want to get into a story format.
Also, I have to start planning and making goals for convention season this year.
Im thinking a proper Artbook is in store.
As well as something sequential, most hopefully something gorgeously written by sirenwriter.

We just both need to find the time and inspiration, the planets need to align for us damnit.

Great things will come!
Alright I'm out see you in another 2 months.
