HO HO HO

You know Dasher and Dancer

And Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen.

A sketch of a Reindeer, and then some editing in that high tech programme Paint - hence the poor resolution in the second image. Really need to get some good editing software, and a scanner. But until then we'll have to settle for intermittent posts with low res images. 

CRAB FISHING

                          Brachyura

Just a quick little sketch/ink of a Crab to the tune of Weezer. I've been having some trouble getting to the scanners in the Library, busy time of year study wise so expect some delays...

I'M HAVING A BALL

The Societies at the University of Sheffield put this together last Saturday. Not bad for a few hours work. ArtSoc provided some of the signs/banners you see and BiologySoc are dancing about ~1.20. You'll see me at ~1.28. I guess this would be my 3seconds of fame Warhol predicted.

WHO'S BEEN EATING OFF MY PLATE?

Nobody takes my porridge

I can't look at any stencils or cut outs without thinking of Rob Ryan, a combination of fairy tales, poetry and ridiculously intricate paper - what's not to like?

ON YOUR BIKE

Start your engines

Just because I find this hilarious and very cute. One of my post-uni plans is to get a motorbike licence, so this could be me in 6 months time.

WPP PLEASE HIRE ME

I'd like to think this is pretty self explanatory. 

Today was the closing date for WPPs' Graduate scheme and on the off chance they look

 at the link to my blog I thought I'd do a little shameless self advertising. 

Obviously I can't take the credit for this idea, it's a scaled down version of Matthew Epsteins' Google Please Hire Me site. I hate to sound like a broken record so I'll just direct you towards my first post about stealing ideas. I'm going to say the sketch is of an unemployed man who's perusing the wanted ads, makes it a lot more applicable I think you'll agree.

MUSICAL MATHS

"Don't you cherish me to sleep

Never keep your eyelids clipped"

The sum of Bon Ivers' self titled album cover and a sketch of a sleeping woman from an issue of National Geographic. I saw him perform in Manchester, it's possibly one of the best gigs I've been to and I can definitely say I never seen so many beards in one room.

TREE SPARROW

                                   Passer montanus.

I spent my summer in Hong Kong. Seeing sparrows everywhere was one of those small things that reminded me of England.

Listening to Simon and Garfunkel - Sparrow and playing around with some computer editing. Originally I was trying for a Salvador Dali - Melting Clocks, but I may have been a little trigger happy with the effects. 

THE BEGINNING OF A BLOG

"GOOD artists borrow, GREAT artists steal..."

- Image Stolen -

This blog will be an amalgamation of images and words, some conceived by myself and some stolen from others, but all of them charming, or at the very least amusing.
