As my dad would sarcastically say
“Hello you o,rrible lot” and welcome to another update on the world of Jowybean
let me bring you up to speed with what’s happening in my busy consistent
creative life.
Number one the job at the graphic
Design sinage company UK Print and Media is going extremely well. So far no
complaints at all, my boss Akeel (who I have become real good friends) with has
been very firm with the tasks that need doing with in the week and i have found
myself surprisingly enjoying the programs Indesign and Illustrator. Really
makes you think about the level of professional quality in your work and art.
Graphics is not something I have touched or paid attention too since college which
was four years ago so it’s a nice breath of fresh air to be doing it again with
a better mindset.
Next month there’s going to be a local
2-day handmade craft fair in my town called Crafty Muthas. Now the name
obviously implies that its targeted at one particular audience (as there’s a
lot of craft fairs in England that are similar to this). I emailed them a brief
description about me and my products I was going to sell, my DA gallery links and
talked about the whole MLP brony thing. Two days later they emailed back saying
they had a space free on one of the two days for me which is cool I would
personally like too do both days but the fair is very popular with creative
mothers that its only right that it should be broken down in to two days to
give all vendors a chance.
I am going to be bringing most of
my work I brought to the showcase event I attended two months ago to Crafty Muthas.
But since it’s near to Christmas I am going to be creating some new Xmas cards
both pony and non-pony to sell there started work on two last week.
Third no shocker too some of you,
still doing pony art and commissions its very additive fun. I am slowly getting
a good income from this not as much as my real job of course but still all this
money will go towards my planed trip to the US pony cons next year or Comic Con
depends how productive I am in the next few months. Considering I have hardly
touched any of GTA 5 in the last 4 weeks proves that laziness and boredom are
becoming less coherent as they used to be.
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.
Because
of all these shenanigans I have postponed the development on my Jowy web comic
and Humanise.com, which I am a little disappointed to stop But I have to concentrate
on the markets I am currently involved in to break into something then nothing.
Please still support and check out the projects
on my DA account we will return to
them soon enough it’s not dead.
Plus I am making the effort with
illustration Friday again so you can always see my crazy zany illustration
style there.
I apologize if this comes off as egotistical
and pride fall but I personally believe that I should get paid for my art from
now on what ever type it is that’s why I do not accept any requests that much
on DA its just very time consuming and I have to make a living off my talents
at some point friends.
Wow this post has taken me literacy
over half an hour to write I will bid you a fare well and good day and let you enjoy a small
galley of my recent art from last few weeks
first week I helped Akeel design a welcome home banner for his cousins son who with his wife just had an adorable baby girl and were coming home from the hospital. One thing lead to another after I meet Akeels cousin and I ended up being commissioned to do a caricature of them both together with their baby from one photo. =D
Stupidly I forgot their names but they loved it I herd so that’s the important thing.
Trevor inspired LOL
Girls are fun to draw XD
style inspired a bit by the amazing Becky Dreistadt
life from newspapers and my work commute
