Dub of A Preacherman

Been really busy these last few months over at Rumpus doing animationating and stuff. Here's one of the more funner projects we've worked on. It's a music vid for my buddies Count Skylarkin and Harvey K-Tel's Dub of a Preacherman.
We really enjoyed working on this as it gave us a chance to use all the wacky sketchbook characters you can't normally get away with.

Disco Shed T-Shirts

As winter approaches and the sun disappears those crazy cats at the Disco Shed have just got a load of new tees with some gnomes I drew ready. Luckily they are also available as hoodies. You can buy them here, DIZZYJAM all proceeds go to help the Gnomeless.

Ponponpon is Godzilla

Just messing around with Japanese Girls and heavy metal.

Photoshop skills

I was practising my photoshop skills the other day. I'm probably at level 11 now. This is Eric Pollard from Emmerdale and Wolverine from the X-men seamlessly blended. It took me about 6 hours to do.

Bongoland E4 Sting

Spent the last couple of days working on a Rumpus entry for the E4 sting competition. Its a bit different from our normal stuff and we got Fon The Pern to help design the characters. Now all we need to do is WIN and we can see it on the tellybox.

Stoney Tony

Been really busy recently working on a Rumpus film with my good buddy Matthew The Horse. He drew the characters, we made it move. Val Kilmer did the voice work. It's all true, apparently.

Paint it Make it

Natsuki Otani from Illustration Rally and Stephen Chan have organised a fund raising event at The Book Club in London on Saturday 25th June. There will be live drawing from my buddy Mr Millerchip and a chance to make your own zine with illustrations by some tip-top illustrators (including me). Hope to see you there!
See here for more details.

Jeremiah Wellgood

A couple of pages from Jeremiah's debut comic.

Barry Monkey

Barry is Rumpus Animation's resident blogger. Although he's pretty lazy. And not very funny.

I draw weird people

I found myself sat in a very nice Vegan cafe in that London the other day waiting for a friend. After a couple of beers and a pizza with a disappointing lack of meat on it I did some drawding.

Sticky Booky

I've got a Spooky Sticky Book coming out later in the year. Here are some sneaky pics from it. I'm really excited about this one!

Disco Shed

The new, improved, bigger-than-ever Disco Shed is nearly ready for the Festival Season. If you see it in a field over the summer go say hello and go allot-mental.

Bristol Comic Expo

Big thanks to everyone who came over and said hello at the Expo. Me, Jeremiah and Bertram all had a great time!

Bristol Comic Expo

Spabbyland is sharing a likkle table at the Bristol Comic Expo with Bertram Fiddle tomorrow. Got my first ever mini-comic, The Meanderings of Jeremiah Wellgood, and some new posters, prints and tees all ready. It's my first time so be gentle with me!

Deep into the Woods

Last sunday was the opening night of the Deep into the Woods exhibition I'm in. And it was bonkers! I might have munched a few too many twiglets, but big thanks to everyone who came down and all the other arty-fartypants illustrators. It's on for another 2 weeks if you are in or around Bristol.

The Royal Wedding

I don't know about you, but I can't wait until Prince William gets married to Kate Middleton. It really is going to make all the recent bad news we've been hearing seem trite and meaningless.
As a keen collector of useless tat I have spent hours scouring the internet for the perfect piece of commemorative memorabilia to celebrate the glorious occassion. None of them quite seemed to sum up how I was feeling, though. Until NOW!

Introducing this beautifully designed and lovingly crafted mug from the skilled artisans of Spabbyland. Featuring a photo of the happy couple and an encouraging motto it is perfect for tea, coffee or even soup AND it comes with a FREE handle.
Hurry! Stocks are limited get yours now from the Spabbyland shop for only £7.50!!!

Exhibitionzzz

Heck YEAHHHHH! In just over a month Deep into the Woods is going to open at the Start the Bus Gallery in Bristol. Have you seen who is in it??? Jon Boam, Stu Kolakovic, Dave Bain, Amy Brown, Matthew the Horse, Rosie Miles, Paul Roberts, Log Roper and Henry St Leger!!! All of them are the best thing since sliced bread... and the goons are letting ME exhibit with them! What are they thinking?!

It's going to be a belter! If any of you are in Bristol while its on get down there and have a look and if you can make it to the opening night even better. There will be a chance to meet, drink, party and possibly rub the artists... and you may even see a fully grown horse doing some body-popping.

Inkygoodness Totem painting

Inkygoodness are putting on an exhibition of hand painted totem poles as part of the Pictoplasma character walk in April and I was lucky enough to be part of the Bristol leg of the live-paint tour. Although I prefer to do my drawings hidden in dark corners, painting on stage in a busy pub was a lot of fun, speshully as it was with some cool people like Log Roper, Tim Miness and Kate Hindley.
Here are some photos of my giant erection throughout the day. Hopefully some nice people will send me some photos of the finished piece later.
Wish I was going to Berlin. It going to be well good.

Valentine's Day.

Believe it or not, I am completely uninterested in Valentine's day and all that luvvy-duvvy stuff. If YOU like it, you are either a GIRL or a MORON.

New Website!

Yeaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!! At long last Joe and me have managed to get ourselves a website. This means Rumpus Animation is now officially GO! Many, many thanks to Becky for all her hard work (and patience) in making it work!

Yeahhhhhhhh. I'm going to look at it some more now... I never realised how much stuff we had done.

Hey Mambo!

I've just entered a competition to design a set of T-shirts for Mambo. I'd love it, just LOVE it if you could vote for my entry. (or if you liked someone else's you could vote for them I suppose...) All you have to do is 'LIKE' my entry... HERE

Many Thanks!

Darryl Pandy

I'm still busy battling wizards and monsters for a game project I am working on... but found the time to do a quick drawing of Darryl Pandy. It seemed like a good thing to do.
I might do Luther Vandross next...

Zzzzapppp!

High on a windy mountainside Barry practices his wand skills.
