Boris Johnson and Lily Cole

Hmmnnn, Boris,

I find that hair very interesting. It looks like a little kids. I mean, baby fine and a bit tangly and matted on one side (possibly where it got slept on).

It also reminds me of someone who is growing their short hair out. A sort of messy in between stage that has to be tolerated in order to get the desired, longer result.

Possibly Boris needs something to keep his hair out of his eyes. A pretty hair ornament perhaps?

Just finished this Lily Cole as the suspect Miss Scarlett, on an old fashioned Cluedo card.

Hair Again

Sorry. Couldn't resist adding another 'hair' pic. Not too flattering of Russell I'm afraid.

More Work

I won't be posting any frames from my entry for the Jonathon Cape/ Observer Graphic Novel Comp because the entry is not meant to be pre-published and I'm not sure whether being up on the internet includes that. It probably does so I'll post up the story after the comp (November).

Am currently working on a short (very short) graphic story .

A few months ago I was selling handmade comic books in GOSH ! comic store in Covent Garden.

Was really pleased that they all sold out but at £2.00 a pop, (the store only took 10 copies) I am not exactly able to live off the proceeds! Still, it was a start.

This new work will also end up as a handmade comic book but I think I will enter it for one of the current graphic novel competitions first.

I don't know what Amy's hair is doing these days (black? yellow? wig? wig-out?) but I couldn't resist adding a pic of the queen of the ultra beehive.

I'm not that keen on putting really old images up here but this goes to prove that the hair theme has been going on in my work for quite some time.

This drawing was done around 1989. I think my 'lines' have loosened up since then and I am not nearly as concerned with detail as I was in those days.

Hair

I seem to have more than a passing preoccupation with 'hair'.

Several drawings on my website are hair related and here is another. I drew it before I began, The Death of Mousey Brown ( which also features hair and a coffin).

This picture which, as yet, has no title, was probably the result of my reading recently about Victorian hair jewellry (necklaces, broaches etc with 'loved ones' hair incorporated).

Considering both death and hair I made this picture of a woman, sorrowfully, cutting her own. Each lock will receive a 'decent burial'.

I can think of another drawing I made quite some time back, which I should post here. I will see if I can find it.

New Work

This is where I will show my latest work.
