I finished this one off at 4am with an eyegraine and in dire need of sleep.
In case you were wondering, no, the book is not real. It is as fictional as the author. I can however reveal an excerpt from the book but don’t tell the publishers (wink, wink):
‘She was outraged.
There she stood on the threshold of the dining room in what she once belived was her home, her beautiful home, to find Michael, the Daschund making love to her grand piano.
The rage took hold and she screamed. She screamed loudly.
It was like an earthquake.’
Why do I do this stuff?

Things are taking a little longer than I had originally and optimistically anticipated. Having said that they’re still going and they’re going well unlike the ungodly experiments the scientists that produced this monstrosity are involved in:
I had to take a short break.
The work sessions were never ending and days/weeks/months were running (see what I did there?) into one another. My concept of time was nonexistent and I completely lost all touch with reality.
It had gotten to the point where I would conclude sessions really feeling affected by the beauty of Tom Cruises’ face. At one point I considered getting some form of transformative surgery in order to make myself into him. When I closed my eyes all I could see was his face. Hell I was going to change my name to Tom Cruise it got that intense.
Still, it’s not as bad as the time I spent a whole summer indoors animating David Hasselhoff in just a leather jacket and underpants to Prince. Dark times.
Aaaaanyway the point is it will take a little longer for me to finish even if it costs me my sanity.

Get ready, it’s almost here…
As excited as I am about the prospect of 47 Ronin (+1 Keanu) running around kicking ass and taking numbers, the idea of Henry Rollins doing the same appeals to me a little bit more for some reason.
If anyone else agrees with me and has a bunch of money just lying around and can get both Henry Rollins and Keanu Reeves involved I have a plot for the film and everything. It would be the next (possibly first) great American action/musical epic.

This one isn’t an album cover, it’s a single cover. For hit 60’s band The Ackroyds.
The Ackroyds never had an album. Whenever they did shows they would get on stage and play their single ‘Take Care of Your Columbians’ ten times in a row and then leave.
They refused to do encores.

What started off as an idle doodle ended up becoming an image of Damon Albarn squeezing the buttocks of a surprised ape.
Before you ask, I didn’t set out to draw it. Maybe I channelled it from somewhere. It was titled subsequent to completion, the title just felt fitting.

For those of you that are interested and/or liked the film here is my rendition of Keanu Reeves character, Donaka Mark from Man of Tai Chi. And for those of you that haven’t seen it, it’s Keanu’s first film (directing, as far as I’m aware) and he plays a pretty damn good villain. He nails it as a cold hearted and evil bastard. I hope you like it, I spent a really long time drawing it.

Before you read, play this song as an accompanying piece to heighten the experience.
I wasn’t sure if I should post this as it’s a bit of a cheap shot. I asked my brother, he said: ‘It’s like slagging off the stereophonics, everyone knows that they’re shit.’
I responded ‘But should I post it?’
He replied ‘If the NME like them then you should post it, if not…’
