Greek Gods Get a Name Tag

Well Fridays rolled up and here is the latest with my cartoon adventures! I told you guys last week I have been busy with a new illustration/ logo type deal for Greek Gods Records (Click here to check their Facebook page!). I have been busy trying to finish it off this week but when good old Friday came today I've found myself with only half of it actually done! Still, it is going to be great when everything is complete! I am pretty pleased because I rarely do stylized lettering and over the past few weeks of logo work I have managed to get stuck in with trying out different font ideas!
For this week I have finished the, Greek Gods Records name in a kind of graff style lettering. Because of the whole Greek god theme I had the idea of making the lettering like crumbled stone but did not want to make the whole thing grey, like a stone colour! Sounds boring, plus I don't like the idea of colouring a name tag in just grey so instead I made it more colourful! More my kind of thing, a colourful block of stone heehee!!
Greek Gods Records

But also just to show you the rest! It is all inked in and ready to be scanned using my wonderfully banged up scanner LOL!


Some of the lines in this need a bit of a touch up but I can do that after I have scanned this in. Plus, you might think part of the illustration is missing or that random image of the deck wheel in the bottom corner is out of place. The reason being is because it will be joined onto the lettering after. I can then copy and paste it into a place I want rather than making a miss judgement with placing if you get me!


Hope you guys out there reading this like what yer seeing! I think the Zeus image will be more fun to colour in because of the detail and characterisation. I will be showing off the 100% finished illustration this coming Monday I hope!
I am off peeps to drink coffee, listen to tunes while colouring this beast in! All the while going mad from the caffeine in take heehee (mad just like this tune: http://soundcloud.com/a-boy-and-his-rocket/aquila-pink-elephants)!! So stay tidy peeps!! Toodles!!!

DJing Greek Gods!

It's more logo designing for me this week but with a slight difference! This logo has more detail than most logos I have done. It kind'a is more of an illustration than a logo but I just could not help myself. I always add more detail and when I am in that zone I just can not stop but to add yet more and more.
The start of this week peeps comes yet another new project but this time from a US based record label known as, Greek Gods Records. Click here to check their Facebook page out! I wanted to put together something god like with DJing and this is what I am coming up with!!

I am really digging the idea of Zeus spinning some tunes on the decks which form the name, Greek Gods Records! It is still early days yet and everything is in pencil! Really wanting to see this all put together and inked up! I drew them separately and will join them later on just in case I want to move things around or adjust them come the last minute! Also so they can just use the name on it's own in that style of writing etc..!
Here is it ladies and gents...

Zeus DJ's

Greek Gods Records lettering, half finished

Well, you lot like it so far? I hope you enjoy looking at it half as much as I am enjoying drawing the thing!
Right, have a good day everyone! I am off to The Notting Hill Carnival for some craziness!! Stay cool peeps!! Toodles!!!

Hello there Gibberish readers! How is everyone doing out there? Seems like down here in the UK our summers been a weird one! Been so rainy and sometimes cold then all of a sudden like this weekend out of no where the temp rises up to 32 degrees Celsius, that is 94 degrees Fahrenheit (if my maths is right- AND I suck at maths)
Speaking of hot weather because the sun is now shinning away cooking everyone like sausages on a BBQ I have decided to start a week long sale of my two t-shirt designs to celebrate! Yeah that is right, a wonderful sale for a wonderful week ahead! Both my t-shirts from today (20th August) right through to the 27th August 2012 are £12 each with free UK delivery, first class and all! So come down and take a look see at my wonderful t-shirts. I am telling you a t-shirt design which has 7 colours screen printed for £12 is a right steal! Click the link below for more!!




Also that is not it, oh no!! I've also been busy on a logo! With that DJ school illustration I did I have also been doing a logo to sit beside it in style and it's turning out to be great! I love my DJ toons! It is only the first stage as of yet and you might think this looks a bit all over the place but believe you me it will come together nicely soon enough!


Here is what it will look like in the end when all is done. Oh, and this is the rough draft so excuse the crudeness of it all!!


Right, I am off to finish it now and get it all looking bang tidy! I might even show you the finished piece this Friday if you would like! Chow for now! Toodles!!

Painting the City in Multi Colour!

With this Friday comes another finished piece of work from me! That Sleepless City piece I started the other week finally gets coloured in and done. Been liking this piece from the first time I started it. Also thought when it was almost done I would do something a bit different with the white out line and it seems to look good! Might play a bit more with this concept for my next up coming pieces! As well as that I am getting into playing around with using that Bitmap effect on Photoshop. For those who not too sure what I mean, it is that spotted look in the background of this piece, lets just leave it at that. Plus I am so crap at explaining myself these days :P. Well, here it is the finished Sleepless City piece of work! Sleepless City is a music producer across the duck pond from me and damn well worth checking out!! If you wanna check out this guy's tunes click here for his Facebook page!


I feel this, really I do!! So happy Sleepless City himself loves it to! It is truly an honour to draw for peeps! It's what keeps me alive! 

Oh, and also I nearly forgot but here is something a bit different for all of you starting as of next week! All week and ONLY next week I will be having a little t-shirt sale! Yeah, that is right, my t-shirts will be just £12!! So if you want a cheap tee that is full of screen printed colour then on Monday head down to my on line store. That is £12 plus free UK delivery! Now what do you think of that?
All right guys and girls I am off to get this garden hedge of a hair do cut! It is turning into something well scary. That and I got some kick ass weekend a head of me so I do not wanna scare half of London away when I hit the streets! Take care all I am out this bitch ass piece! That and doing some more logo work.

Did you lot see the inked in one I showed off a few posts back? I am gunning for a Friday post when I will finish it but hey who knows, it might just be for Saturday!

Dividing Zero into a logo!

Weird title huh? Well, that is the name of the web site I am doing a logo for, well, actually it is Div 0 but I wanted to make a post title out of it and that was the first thing that came to mind! Well, seems it is Friday once again and I find myself typing yet another blog post! Damn, I am starting to really love my blog! Helps me feel motivated and on task!
This Friday I am here to show off the beginnings of another new project! This new project is a kind of illustration logo type thing for another Second Life scripter named, Natok Dryke! You know that game Second Life I once told you about! OK, well not going to explain the thing all over again but Natok here builds, scripts, and sells. A bit like HEN Streeter! Well, a lot like HEN but has his own unique ways and creations! This logo is for one of his website projects he is working on outside the virtual walls of Second Life (Click here to check out his website project).






The logo I drew in parts because that way I can position it around at the end. Oh, sorry, yes, I forgot, the logo is suppose to be an angry geek kind of guy smashing a computer with a keyboard and the name made formed of pixels is leaking out and dissolving (like blood but pixels). It sounds busy for a smallish logo but is fun drawing it out! I still need to ink the rest in and get rid of the pencil marks but it is almost there now! So tell me what you think everyone! I hope yer all like my new work! I hope to finish the thing for this coming Monday but who knows. I am always rushing my work when it comes to those last moments before I publish a post. It explains sometimes why these posts come a day late or get published really late in the evenings! But hey, I so want to show you my stuff! Well, Friday night is calling me so I am jetting off peeps, stay bang tidy y'all!! Toodles!!

Sleepless City Cartoon!

Here once again all you Gibberish readers out there with yet another Friday blog post! Well, what can I say, after last weeks absence with creating anything new I am back into the drivers seat and it is full steam ahead once again! Got busy with another new illustration these past few days I have! Also finally I've kicked myself to buy some more pens as that DJ illustration I started (and showed you) a few weeks back was a bit tricky to ink in. Plus, not sure why but even though all my pens had run out I still kept them. LOL I was getting lost in a sea of pens that hardly worked to some that were completely dead! So for the first time in ages it was a mass load of inkless pens into the trash and happily using brand new ones! OK, OK so I am obsessed with the certain pens I use. Hell, I even stick to one particular pencil at a time, hailing it as my lucky pencil! But hey, what more can I do? These are my weapons of choice and I am a total dork! But at least I can admit it right? Jak stop it, you are getting carried away here! Giving all you lot way too much info out on my geekiness here! Well this new illustration I am doing is for another DJ/ Music producer named, Preston Jobe A.K.A Sleepless City (If you guys want to check out this guys tunes head down to his Facebook page by clicking here)! So then, what do you guys think so far? Looking forward to colouring it in that is for sure!





I know I did say I might of coloured in that other DJ illi I was working on but I will deffo be showing that all finished next week! It's been brilliant colouring it in and so far so good so remember to look out for it soon! Right before I go ahead and make this post way too wordy I am off to watch... Yes you guessed it... Those Olympic games! Toodles!!
