I've been bored the last few days because i was out of work (got another project today though) so i made two withnail and I t-shirt designs. i'm also working on a twink peaks-inspired design, but it's not finished yet and i should probably put that off until i've got the paying work done.

I've finally finished the batch of illustrations that i've been working on since february. it's such a relief, they've been driving me absolutely insane. now there's still some minor stuff to do like finish the cover layout and draw some simple maps, but that's alright - it's not much work, and it's something different for a change ( Read more... )

oh god oh god oh god i really need to do my taxes, and i have no idea what the fuck i'm doing. my friend promised to help me, but now i'm panicking about forgetting to bring some important stuff when i go to his place. he said i needed the paper with my tax number on it. i have a tax number? i have no idea which of the thousands of documents it's ( Read more... )

it's good to have rather a lot of paying work at the moment, and i (kinda) enjoy it and really do need the money, but i'd really love to do some fanart again and experiment a bit with different styles and such nonsense. and i can't really experiment with my illustrations, because it's all for the same book ind it'd look a bit funny if my style was ( Read more... )

Two things that really annoy me about myself:

1.
I can't seem to work at a normal pace, i.e. if I don't work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, I feel like I'm being incredibly lazy and panic about not meeting the deadline, even if it's months away. At the moment, I'm actually not working that much (but still enough to be mostly done with a job that I'm ( Read more... )

Our second book came from the printers yesterday! I still can't believe we managed to do this within only a little over two months - everything, the text, the illustrations, the layout and the printing. and it's absolutely beautiful. have some crappy webcam photos:

my beloved macbook died a week ago, so i haven't had my own computer for the last 7 days - extremely convenient in the middle of a job with an insane deadline. but, because i'm amazing like that, i managed to finish everything on time, even though it meant working on my boyfriends computer (with a windows system, an unfamiliar tablet and an ( Read more... )

Some days I love my job, because I get to draw dinosaurs and weird demons and portraits and things. Other days I have to draw architecture with lots of windows and vanishing points and perspective and things, and I absolutely bloody hate it. Today is one of the latter category.

I've done 37 illustrations so far, and there are still 11 more left.

I feel like it's February all over again. Not because of the weather, although it is rather cold, but because I'm in exactly the same situation again. I have to create about 30 illustrations (the exact number isn't fixed yet) in a little over 30 days (I'd have a little more time if I hadn't already booked everything for a week in England). So far I ( Read more... )
