List 1
This list is work that I need to do or get finished which
are ether image based or are books.
When I have finished something... I'll have to remember to highlight it!
******************
·
I started a children’s book a few years ago with
the working title Dees (don’t ask) and
gave it up because half way through doing the pictures for it I got distracted
doing something else and just couldn’t seem to pick it up again. But now I have
started the pictures again, from where I left off and I am now four off
finishing them.
Then I just have to find a publisher… And
a proof reader before that!
At present I’m just looking over at the
picture I’m working on and trying not to rip it up because its not perfect. If
I keep thinking like that though, I’ll never finish it.
Ok, It's a book about fairys! I've tryed my best to not think of them as such but, well, there you go.
Fairys in Guisborough forest.

It's on sale here

·
Finish website. Wix do a free service (I think
its free anyway) which I’m working on at the moment. It needs tweaking and more
pictures on it too. Then I need to put links to this and my etsy account!
******************
·
Life trials. A series of Dinosaur-like animals
in pictures depicting there life. I finished the first one which was inspired
by a small bird sitting on Bracken. I called it Look out. That first one has already gone on my Etsy account http://www.etsy.com/listing/113029164/dinosaur-look-out?
And http://www.etsy.com/listing/113028824/dinosaur-look-out?ref=v1_other_2 . The others, which are only sketches at the
moment, are tree climbing , Beach hunt, Pond food, Face off and ride.

Cliff
overhang. This is an A4 dot picture.
That is I do the outline in pen and then do tines pen dots to do the detail. I
totted up the hours that the last one I did took me and it was approximately 17
hours. A3 ones take at least twice as long as I’m sure you could have guessed.
There are a few different pictures like this one that I want to do. (A4 size)
forest bridge is another I started at the same and is actually closer to
being completed.

Kingfisher
bridge. This is a project I’ll keep quiet about until I have sketches or I’m
ready to paint.
******************
·
Children’s book where’s Grandad? For very young children. IT’S NOT a book
explaining that a relative is dead! Just thought I’d put you straight on that
point. Infact when I mentioned the name of the book to a friend, she thought it
was a bereavement book. It’s just something my nephew used to say as he walked
around the house looking for you know who.
******************
·
Children’s book Milly and the cat. Where in which a girl called Milly meets a magic
cat. I had done about 3 pages of this one when I first did this list but I'm now onto page 7 (it's the end of march)!
·
Children’s book Milly and the monster. Milly gets a monster pet monster. ... I ws thinking she could catch it in a pond or something like that!
******************
·
Children’s book Jo and the dragon. On a rainy day Jo gets followed home by a dragon.
I have a few sketches for that one and even a watercolour based picture.
I think Milly and Jo must be neighbours in the
must occult and screwed up neighbourhood ever. There, that explaines magic cats
and monsterus things happening in my opinion.

Tin Robot.
cards etc. I came up with this tin robot for a friend of mine who wanted a
tattoo. The brief he gave me was… well, brief.
So I looked at robot pictures, tin and
otherwise and eventually after looking at the cartoon Invader zim, specifically
the robot in it called Gur I decided to start drawing. He has a bit of Gur
about the eyes but that’s it. I like Jhonen Vasquez but I didn’t want it to
look too much like his robot.
The finished character then went to my
friend who liked it but wanted it to have a little extra to it. I think I ended
up abandoning the general idea that my friend gave me because it started to
look like a steampunk pirate with a parrot in a bottle and lots of cogs behind
it. When I showed that to my friend in a sketch he seemed unimpressed. Thinking
about it I have to agree… it looked bloody bizarre. Probably didn’t help that
the parrot in the picture was jammed in a bottle too small for it for some
reason.
So I decided to make it into a series of
cards (and if my friend wants his tattoo, he can sit with me and explain what
exactly he wants the thing to look like). I’ve done some of the pictures already.
The ones to finish are monkey birthday
the picture is actually of an orang-utan but screw it, Dinosaur friend which is a the robot fighting with a dinosaur for
his arm back in a tug of war type fashion, Congratulations
card (robot holding a banner), baby ‘bot…
robot in pram which I hope is cute and not disturbing which I holy fear that it
is, animal lover where the robot is
covered in animals, Christmas tree…
Pretty self-explanatory, Brachio
birthday Brachiosaur getting a birthday cake and curios robot looking through microscope. Most of these just need
colour added and then they are done though some are still in the sketch faze.

************************************
I also have some pictures to re-do which are (can you spot
why I’m re-doing them?):
·
Re-do tall
living Bridge. An A3 picture made of outlines of pen and detail done in pen
dots. I started this picture in 2003 and then made a mistake on it and although
I kept the picture I never re-did it. They take so long to do I’d prefer to
have my leg hairs pulled out than start it again
******************
·
Re-do… spiked
living bridge. Like the other A3 bridge, I made a mistake and need to start
again. One of my A4 ones looks simillar.
******************
There are also some fan pictures I want to do and they are (getting
board yet?):
Dark crystal animal and person
Nausicaa of the valley of the wind
Star wars (AT-AT I think)
******************
There are other things I’m doing around photography and
there are some other projects on the list but I think this will have to do for
now. Plus I’m having a Uber Dyslexic day and this many words is frying my
brain.
I’ll try to update this list after I’ve finished some things
already up and then put up List 2!
In which I feel segways and cakes should feature in some
form.
