Jowybean shenanigans 24/7/16

Listening to some of Phil Collins songs and did some speed painting to I Don't Care Anymore. Thinking of it as a music video, I know there already is one but I did this before I Knew that there was a MV for the song. 

Until next post laters. ;)

Illustration Friday submission : Thanks Tails Bus

(heavy sigh) It saddens me a little when i have some really great visual ideas for finished pieces but due to life,work unexpected showcase events and the potential annoyance i lost a great sheet of observation studies. it never becomes the reality i see in my imagination. This is still in sketch mode i never got it done to a standard i am happy with. but i want to keep this content consistent each week even if it means sacrificing perfectionism  a little to keep these ideas flowing and going.

This weeks theme was.....Tails (if you can tell)

i know have the crafty Muthas fair this weekend to look forward to wish me luck and i  will see you all LATERs in the next post ;).

unexpected Jowy Shenanigans updates 17/11/13

This has come up at just the last minute and is going to make my week that little bit busier. My good old university BCU has invited me to a showcase-networking event on Tuesday where I could really spread the world of Jowybean around lol and exchange contacts with other businesses. There’s over 100 attendees going to it and some of us are getting a table so I need to prepare for it fast. I have my table booked but I need to gather together a proper portfolio for the event.

Crafty Muthas fair this Saturday coming (23^rd nov) I am still going to. I believe these two separate events could make or break my freelance business but this year has being mostly exploring and taking risks and so far it’s all paid off really well.

Sneak Peek at my new Illustration Friday submission that i plan to have done by wednesday

 

I usually do not show my super sketchy sketches because of my perfectionate mind but these are drawings based on my own characters who i have grown to adore and enjoy drawing more . Not as much as ponies but i am making space in my busy creative life to doodle them at least

Illustration Friday submission : Wind annoying Act

only managed to get a good rough tonal sketch done this time......... doh dart 

This Weeks theme was Energy

Unlike my last few submissions the only connection to the theme would be the old man with a wind turbine for a head. I was going with the idea of motion and movement and used some of my favourite poses from the last few newspapers I have collected as reference 

 Never expect anybody to get my deep ideas just appreciate the quirkiness and experimentation in my style.

Until next Post Laters   

Illustration Friday submission Saxy beast 31/10/13

This week’s theme was… Creatures

I had started to listen to a lot of Jazz at the start of last weekend and i wanted to incorporate that theme in to the piece somehow. It’s also a lot less refined then I would have liked it to be but that’s a sacrifice you have to make when you’re busy at real work.

The three young girls or sisters are copied from a newspaper I collect regularly. i tend to hold on to them  for great visual reference its a way to observe life while letting my crazy world blossom.

also heres the sketch i did before the final speed painting above.

until next post LATERS folks ;)

Illustration Friday submission: Fire Tangle Fighter

My early submission to Illustration Friday 

Theme this week Entangled

i also tried ponying up the theme as well. 

I had a crack at my old promarker pens for these piece (i used to use them for my university development when i was discovering the importance of value).  Now that i have found my voice or vision in my work I really do want to start learning about traditional media in a lot more depth. Its not going to be easy as I specialize in digital a lot. But I am willing to take that risk and move up a level in my career.

Jowy Shenanigans 24/9/13

Hey everybody in blog land I have been a busy bee with pony commissions popping up every few days since Buck. And its occupied a lot of my free time, then the whole GTA 5 thing happened last Tuesday and I was gone for two and half days with breaks in between of course its worth the money in my opinion Rockstar you have done it again.

now I am back with a reason to update not just to rant.

lame joke i know

I started livesteraming recently and I plan to do more in the coming weeks. My first experience was very positive , did not shut up for a whole three hours I love to talk sometimes folks if you know this blog you understand what I mean.

Last Wednesday i attended a small showcase event run by a company called Sweda to show my art to other potential clients and networks and as you can see the local press took an interest in my art and Brony stuff.   

I have applied for a possible full time job at a graphics and print company in Birmingham. Had my interview yesterday it went quite smoothly, despite my lack of commercial graphic design experience. The director seemed interested in using my artistic talents for some of his upcoming projects. If I get this job I will get some actual income.

In an ideal world I would love to make a living off my commissions and own illustration but I know the market constantly changes and you need to be realistic with your goals in today’s world folks.

I have fallen behind on illustration Friday’s submissions but I will make sure I get back on track with that.

Passion project Humanise.com graphic novel has stopped for a while but please still support and check out the project on my DA account we will return to it soon its not dead.

Ponies just on the brain

Until next Post LATERS ;)
