What happened to the daily thing you said





Fell like I have dropped the ball on my blog posting again sorry it’s a bad habit (laziness) that will change. Reason why i do not post a lot is because i have spent almost an hour and a half doing theses and that gets boring quickly. i like to have a good amount of information when i update then just give you something pretty to look at. 

big update coming in the next few days or sooner depends 

 until next post LATERS  ^^;

Jowy Shenanigans 6/3/13


CARDA and Mutt of Humanise.com are getting inpatient

I feel my concentration has been slipping a bit recently .I have been distracted by two big things in the last few days. 





First is the Manga Gunsmith cats by kenichi sonoda the problem is and this a complement not an issue .There are so many twists in the story that leave me wanting more by the end of the volume that I have to read on. I cannot lie in saying that Sonodas style has hooked up back in to reading manga and watching anime. Then there’s the fabled time-lapse videos that I can spend a whole day watching because its very inspiring to me how these videos are able to capture so much life in a city or natural environment seriously just a simple recording of a guy driving around London streets for 39 minutes sparks my imagination so much but wastes precious art time.

Speaking of time I better not ramble on again as that’s for facebook and Twitter.


Humanise.com comic project update


Slaked a little with the development but brought some bigger pads to start designing bigger roughs for the final inks. Starting with the splash page, as it will introduce us to the universe in one huge detailed illustration I am dreading and looking forward to doing this particular page.


10yearItch website job update



The client was not too happy with the characters I drew in the centre of the composition for the question banner. So we changed the middle to fit in a huge question mark, which works ok in my opinion but it gets the message cross.


Warley woods Trust cartoon series




This month I am looking at finally visiting the local woods thrust to advertise this series I have been eveloping on since the start of the year I plan to make the cartoons part of my brand and business plan as I am slowly working on that so I could start selling my brand and cartoons to the public to get more recognition in the dog eat dog world  

Round off this update with some random tablet doodles

I do not like to repeat myself online but I will try and update more regularly because the guilt of leaving this blog alone for even five days scares me.

Until next Post Laters  :)

Some Jowy Shenanigans 3/3/13





Oh boy I have had my head in the gunsmiths manga that I started reading four days ago that I have not done as much work as I wanted too but I managed to at least do some more drawings of my characters today to make up for lost time.

I did some more development of the humanise.com comic yesterday starting on the page layouts. Then sent the rest of the day reading some more of Kenichi Sonodas Gunsmith cats because its that good and engaging in my opinion. I would say it’s got a similar cinematic quality of story telling to Katshurio Otmos Akira but a little more cute and funny.

Sonodas also a big gun and car fan so there’s lots of really cool drawings and poses for these two objects in the manga as well.






Manga can do this to me when I get super invested in the story and visuals sorry if that’s not much of an update but its new week and a new mind.

anyway until a better post LATERS ; )



I went GunSmith CRAZY last week

Jowy Shenanigans 26/2/13



After my 22nd birthday i got a sudden love for reading and watching anime and manga again. It was after I read volume one of a manga called Peepo Choo by Felipe Smiths on Sunday night. Such an interesting story that hooked me near the end and has a colourful cast of characters even if half them look dickarish and are.

Sorry I would have posted a proper update yesterday but I had to recover (and I use that term very loosely) from my birthday over the weekend and I had some shenanigans to attend to as well stuff that I fear I will fall asleep telling you.


I had herd of Gun Smiths Cats (thats what this character is supposed to be inspired by) the anime then i watched it and in my opinion its passable the manga looks a lot more fun and deep though the theme song is really jazzy and i like it. 
I now started formulating a tiny list of other series I would like to check out.
See if I could become a bigger anime fan then I am now (that most likely will not happen considering my time spent on all these individual artist projects.


 Speaking of which…

10 yearIcth website banners  Elance job


The company asked to too do some more art for the site as part of their rebranding this time it was for a questions page. The brief was similar to my pervious illustrations with the series. Colourful and straight to the point.







eyes were a little derpy but i fixed that 



I have been doing some paid work with some other people and contacts I know but these projects are still in development so no information about it as now just adding some more filler for the post.








Sadly there’s not being any process with the developing comic Humanise.com. Because of everything else I have had to consternate on. I will try with all my power and energy to get something out this week at least so I can keep a coincident update record on the blog.

i hate slaking off like i used to do on this blog


perspective on guns are tricky sometimes when your justing doing rather then thinking  DOH


anyway i am going to go and watch some more crazy animations and movies now

 Until next post laters ;)

Jowy Shenanigans 22/2/13


its very bothering that there are no railings along most of york cities walls  which did scare me uh a little for kids safety 

OK This has been a family focused week since we went down to York to see how my sister was settling in to university life after only four months. She’s been doing so well that I think we agree with her that she would rather not come back to Birmingham.


During my day visit to york city I did something I have not done in a while a bunch of observation sketches. 




Also I developed on the world of Jowy some more looking at backgrounds and new characters that could fit in to the crazy cast of characters I already had.


This is a rather short post because my 22nd birthday is tomorrow and I am excited for it or at least optimistic so I want to get an early night so I can experience the day wide awake.

There’s lots more to show but I will share that stuff after the big day  

Until next post Laters  ;)

Jowy Shenanigans 17/2/13




The cartoon is a jowy version of the Steve Taylor album cover on the Fritz. Been listening to his albums almost each day and waking up with them playing in my head and i love it, His like the Alice cooper for Christian rock my dad says worth a listen too.


Yesterday was my uncle’s birthday not going to say what age he is though. We had a very special meal planed for him, which was in this restaurant on top of this tall building called the cube in Birmingham. Amazing vistas I even got some snaps from the top. His an accountant with the bank of America and I wanted to draw him something that highlighted his job that’s where this propaganda pink panther like cartoon came out

It can be our friend 

I remember a while ago I saw a black and white 30s 40s propaganda animation on saving money and tax no idea who made it or the name of it which sucks because it was such a unique gem. I have been almost on the Fritz today because I misplaced my credit cards which could have ended horribly and cost me a lot but luckily I blocked them from been used so I am safe and should get my new cards In 5 days.


Also Today the 10yearItch web site i did the banners for asked me to do some more  paid artwork for them which is brilliant.

I competed the inking of my birthday card design for the woods trust series. See pervious post



I need to look at trees and leaves more its hard to capture them with just pen     



I may have some more to share later on tonight  so stay tuned. 

Wink wink nod nod say no more 

But if not unitil next post LATERS  ; )
