I've Been Working On The Designs For Various Aliens I Made Up As A Teenager.

I've been working on the designs for various aliens I made up as a teenager.

These are the mysterious and secretive Shiren. They're about the size of a human 12-year-old and always wear those long robes and hoods. All the other space-faring species know about their lifestyle is that they're primarily aquatic, but able to change shape in order to move on land.

You can see I decided somewhere in between the two pictures that they should only have four digits.

Inktober day 11 - brush inking and ink wash

Near the end of this picture I found some white ink in my art supplies, so I had a go at using it for highlights.

Yessss our new music zine is ready! I love making these, I'm always so pleased with them when they're finished.

This Is Not A Serious Music Publication Autumn 2014 is now printed and ready to launch along with the latest issue of whatsthetimemrswoolf at Bristol Comic & Zine Fair this Saturday! I’ll be sharing a half table with sarahfogg and we will be bringing FREE MINI COMICS & ZINES to hand out to anyone interested. :) See you there!

https://www.etsy.com/shop/sammyborras £3 Shipping: £1.50 International Shipping: £7 Articles, illustrations and comics featuring Baby Metal, Damon Albarn, Gorillaz, Pixies, Bat For Lashes, Franz Ferdinand, Courtney Barnett, Honeyblood, Glass Animals, Dizraeli, Animal Collective, Roadidendren, Haim, We Are Scientists, Cecile Corbel, Adventure Time and Regular Show. "It probably seems silly to be printing a music zine at a time when music blogs are becoming a popular alternative. You can listen to the music at the same time as reading the articles and news updates are instant. We realised we don’t have the time to keep up with it all, so last year, instead of trying, we decided to create a music zine together, where we could write about the music that makes us happy! We had so much fun making the first one that we decided to make more whenever we have enough material to fill a new issue. We’ve filled this issue with music themed comics, gig sketches, articles and illustrations. We hope you enjoyed reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it!"

Thank you to everyone who came by our table at Comica Comiket! I just wish the library was open a bit longer - I was having too much fun

The next event will be the Bristol Comic & Zine Fair on Saturday 4th October 2014. We will be sharing half a table again so we will be bringing slightly limited stock. But we really love making new things so there will probably be something brand new on the table.

We can also confirm that our table at Thought Bubble will be in New Dock Hall! for further information on events see the blog sidebar.

Inktober day 7 - ink and water

I wasn't feeling well, so I just messed around with cartridge pens and ended up with this. My grasp of anatomy is a bit shaky these days, I think I need to find a life-drawing class.

While I'm slowly dying of heat-related stress, have some more journal pictures!

Lots of illustrations from dreams in this set. Also something I labelled as a snake but discovered, watching Springwatch later, was probably a slow-worm, which is a legless lizard.
