Bear in a place ending in Woods Jowy shenanigans 12/9/15

This may be a very local event  and only relate to those in the UK, But I am excited to be announcing this will be my first art exhibition and wanted to share the Flyer I designed with you. This is partly the reason why theres not being as much art uploaded on the blog in the last few weeks  because most of my attention and passion has been on this project and getting prepared for it in October.

The exhibition is going to be celebrating my hometown of Bearwood in history and art. 
This will be also acting as a show case of my original work and for once a lot of it is traditional =D, and will be for sale. 

sneek peek at one of the pieces 




This is the blurb I wrote to sell the exhibition to my community facebook group.   

Have you ever wondered, how did the Windsor cinema (Sandwell Snooker Club) play its role in spying on the germans in WW2?. Or what did Bearwood primary offer as classes at night in the late 18th century?. All these questions and more will be answered at the Bearwood Art with History exhibition this october from the 3rd to the 10th at Ooops - Artisan Gallery & Gifts. Local artist Joshua Whitehouse nicknamed Jowybean and local Historian Mary Bogfish invite you to explore the fascinating history of Bearwood and celebrate its iconic locations through a series of original artworks, that will be for sale .
Open day is on the oct 3rd 2-4 pm.

I am looking forward to this venture and Will be sharing photos and art from the event once its done. 

If anybody in the UK is crazy enough to attend its on from the 3rd to the 10th of october  at Ooops Gallery. The location is on the flyer.

Humanization.com project 6/1/15 update

If your new to this then heres the  story Synopsis of Humanization 

1000 years ago earth is wiped out by war of neutral bombs. At this time the Internet, as we know it was been updated and had began to think independently. Now 1000 years later the Internet has transformed in to a virtual reality where severs websites and programs of all kinds have become living breathing beings connecting together to from a thriving metropolis. Our two main protagonists CADRA the normal farm girl working in the code fields and Mutt her pet dragon suddenly embark on an epic quest to find the code that could bring down the controlling powers of the big bosses Google Apple and many others but what is this mysterious code you say? :P

This project is a collaboration between me and my father who is writing the script for the whole series. We are planing to have issue one printed around March time.
Keep an eye out for more Humanization.com.

Continuing the inking of the pages for issue one 

By the way forget the slightly blue mess on the right page I tried using an old tipp-ex I had not used in a long time to correct a mistake I made on page 11. 

Until next post LATERS ;)

Fair and Humanization.com project 3/12/14

I was at small christmas fair yesterday morning in Aston University run by BSEEN the program I joined last year to set up my freelance career. We did not sell a lot but I got to speak to a few possible commissioners plus me and my dad got to talk in detail about the future of Humanzation.com comic.

This wonderful girl brought one of my big prints based on the first splash page of Humanization.com and then tweeted about it which is awesome. 

Signs of the growth of my freelance business this year. :)

Also got another inked in page for Hunanization done last night

Its so nice for a change to be able to do some more good old traditional art for this project.

Untill next Post LATERS :)

Jowys time at Ponycon UK 2014

back from UK ponycon2014.

It was a very relaxing and family friendly event. It was not as Brony centered which made a nice change. I did a lot of coloured OC commissions and sold a bit more of my old stock from Buck con  this year which is awesome.

samples of the coloured OC commissions I did

 I also made some new contacts with some of the other artists there. All in All this was a better experience then Buck 2014 and i will be going next year for sure.

                  Heres some photos I snapped during the two days 

Badges were very popular

This is another Brony artist / friend of mine Thomas or as he goes by online Misty Dash.  I meet him at my table at Buck a year ago but got to know him really well at his table this year. He even got awarded the best stall which is really cool considering this was his first time vendoring.

This was one of the best none Friendship is Magic cosplays at Ponycon UK Eille was also a vendor there (I do apologize if I got her name wrong). She is cosplaying Reeka one of the antagonists of the My Little Pony: The Movie from 1986 or as fans refer to it as the Smooze movie. honestly the bad guys are much more memorable and entertaining then the ponies are. Its worth watching just for the villains and their songs. 

I did a pony commission for her as well.

until next post LATERS ; )
