Due to having a pile of them sitting around doing nothing, I’ve decided to drop the price of the Take Me Away tees to $28.00.

You can get them in my Etsy store if you’re interested:

If that listing comes up as sold check my store’s main page as I’ll re-list the item again.



I Got a deviantArt Daily Deviation!

Got a big surprise this morning – a pack of iPhone/IPod Touch wallpapers made from my digital work that I uploaded to deviantArt yesterday has been awarded a Daily Deviation today. For those not familiar with deviantArt, every day the gallery directors choose a selection of pieces (around 20-30) to bring to the attention of the wider deviantArt community and today one of the pieces was mine.

Moopf iPhone Wallpaper Pack 1

I created the pack on a whim yesterday, to be honest. I wanted to get some of my work onto wallpapers for my own iPhone and then thought I might as well upload it. I’m in shock that it’s been picked, I should see a whole heap of traffic to my deviantArt pages today. Great way to start a Friday!

If you’d like to download the pack just click the image above and you’ll be taken to the deviantArt page. Then just click on the Download link to grab it.



Knowing Where to Begin

I’ve got a lot of stuff going on in my head at the moment, a lot of ideas, a lot of thoughts. A lot of things I need to do. It’s getting on top of me a little, knowing where to begin and what to “pick off” first. It looks like I’m not producing much at the moment but I am doodling a lot, it’s just that I’m not happy with the strength of what’s coming out. Plus there’s something else I’m trying to organise, and that’s taking longer than I hoped for.

That Special Someone - Click for biggerHopefully some of my ideas will work and I’ll start churning out some new stuff soon. I feel some pressure all of a sudden because a piece I did recently, That Special Someone, has proved to be the most popular thing I’ve posted on deviantArt to date, by a very long way, and i’ve been quite taken aback by the response to it. It was a quick doodle, if I’m honest. I didn’t over-think it, it just happened. It’s one of the few times where I’ve been pleased with a piece as soon as I’ve finished it, generally I start hating a piece just before I’ve finished it and can only appreciate it objectively a few days later. Trying to re-create the freedom in that piece I’m finding difficult. I didn’t have to try with that and now the harder I try to capture that freedom again, the further away it goes. I need to stop trying :)

Also Saturday was a tough day, truth be told. I had to have my cat Bod put down. He was 15 years old and I had had him since he was born (his mother lived in the shared house I lived in). I’d known him longer than my wife, I was fresh out of my teens when I got him, and it was weird letting go, even though I knew it was for the best. I didn’t want him to suffer. I do miss him, though.
