The Eruption of Kilauea.

The Screen Bandita event last night was excellent. A great mix of bands, each with their own interpretation and unique sound. And the films were strange and spectacular, a real find! I especially loved the main event, The Eruption of Kilauea 1955, which was just amazing to watch. Lava is very cool.

Thank you to everyone for their kind comments on my work. It was so nice meeting all the artists who I'd been drawing over the last few weeks.

Raise Your Hem Unite: Red

Couldn't resist doing one last image on the 'red' theme.

Raise Your Hem Unite

The final colour image for the Screen Banditas event. Each band member was drawn separately but they seem to unite pretty well in the same image. The original pictures were taken by Evi Tsiligaridou on Portobello beach in Edinburgh, right near my childhood home!


I'm looking forward to the event:

The Eruption of Kilauea and Other Treasures.

Venue: St Cecilia’s Hall (Niddry Street, Edinburgh)
Date: 30th October 2009, 19.30
Tickets: £4/£3 (Can be bought on the door or in advance at Edinburgh Filmhouse.)

Raise Your Hem.

Various projects on the go at the moment, but nothing to put on the blog just yet. Still drawing those Edinburgh bands for Screen Banditas. Will have the rest of Raise Your Hem to post tomorrow. I tell you now though, drawing a double bass is tough!

Also working on a new film theory comic. I won't be putting it all up online, as I've got something special planned, but maybe I'll stick up a sampler in the coming days.

A favourite current technique is to scan in crumpled paper textures to give an image a bit of tangibility. It looks really good on this image. It looks a bit like I just found the picture in the bin and stuck in online.

I love their name by the way...
