I did these paintings at least a month ago. They were 'idea' paintings for a book that I was going to do but haven't got round to yet. They need a lot of work but as an initial idea they are alright. I wrote a little story (like a paragraph) about sexy ladies who live in space,so the illustrations are pretty self explanatory. I wanted the pictures to have a dated/bright and humorous feel. Next time I'll do them with ink because painting with black paint got all weird and lumpy.
I plan to post some drawings from my sketchbook up soon. I'm currently very busy though,visiting mum in the north,meeting her new puppy and seeing Batman Live tomorrow. I have a lot of proper art work to do too but for my own sake and random people on the internet,I'll put some doodles on.

A really weird dream I had last night
I had the weirdest dream last night and I wanted to write it down so I wouldn't forget it. I thought I'd post it on here just incase anyone wants to read it. The dream started with me and some friends. I can't remember who exactly but there was only about 3 people including my boyfriend. We were on the programme LOST . This involved the surroundings of trees,gnarly looking tunnels and abandoned buildings. A man who look like a zombie appeared from nowhere and came to help us out as I we were lost in this forest. We came across an abandoned building and I wanted to explore it. The zombie man told me he could bypass all the old security and let me in with a couple of my friends. I got into a lift covered in jungle vines and it took me to a room which I thought was abandoned. There were about 5 people on the floor - people I know in real life or from television and they were all violently fitting. This was really scary and slightly concerning. I started to wonder why they were on the floor and why the were fitting when a lady dressed in all black walked up behind me and told me to sit down and watch a film. Suddenly,a projection screen was pulled from the ceiling and a film started being projected onto it. It showed loads of people in coloured T-shirts doing gymnastics and rolling around on the floor. I sat there watching it for a bit with my friends but I started to feel a little uneasy. Just as I was about to leave the room the lady in black told me to close my eyes and sleep on the floor as I must be tired. Just as I was closing my eyes,I felt a huge force on my body,almost paralyzing me. I tried to open my eyes but they wouldn't open. My boyfriend (who was sat next to me) grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the room. He found it a struggle as my body was heavy from being paralyzed. Once we had left the room my eyes were able to open and I realised I had to warn everyone about the room and it's dangerous consequences. The lady dressed in black turned round and said 'I've invited everyone you know,friends and family to see this film. Most of them should be coming tonight and they will never be able to leave this room afterwards'.
I ran down the stairs and found myself in another room. It was like a big hall with a chandelier. Most of the my friends and family were sitting on the floor in the hall waiting to see the film upstairs. I ran round the room as fast as I could, warning everyone that they would be paralyzed if they watched the film but only a handful of people believed me. I felt really helpless and the thought of everyone I loved being trapped forever scared me so much. My boyfriend,friends and I had a task - try and save as many people from seeing the film as possible. I woke up shortly after this but I think I managed to save a good few.

Day at Brighton.
I went to Brighton today with my sexy boyfriend. We wandered about a bit and had a look at the lanes. We went to pompoko (an amazing noodle bar). We also walked down to the seafront and played crazy golf! I lost by one point! I also bought a beautiful brush pen which I'm going to draw comics with - it's a posca pen. You have to press a button to release ink into the fibre at the bottom - it's sick! Oh and here's a picture of me trying a cola slush puppy for the first time in years. It tasted like bleach...

I done a comic page
I saw a man in worthing yesterday and he was driving a mobility scooter with a chocolate labrador and a canary in a cage strapped to the back. I might turn it into a full story but for now I've drawn the first page to give myself a taste of what it could be like. Pretty colours. Watch this space. (also click bigger to see the proper colours because blogger has dulled them down here.)

Drawings and that
Haven't posted for a while so thought I'd give it a go. My mind is so chaotic at the moment. It's like when you spend so long playing a video game that you start seeing it when you're sleeping. I've spent so long colouring in different drawings on the computer that I caught myself sketching with my finger in the air the other day trying to colour in things around me. I've been busy with a few things recently - mostly I've been working on my comic for Solipsistic Pop which is going good and is super fun. I'm also trying to get my head around this dissertation malarky. I've decided what I want to write about - it's just the mammoth task of where to start. Here are a few drawings...

Superkitten doodles
I really don't know why I have drawn these but I have drawn them none the less. They kind of have a narrative- I'm fond of my super kittens!

I really want to be doing this. But instead I have to write a dissertation. Boo.
Drawn with some jumbo felt tips I bought in a charity shop today.

Adrian and Kathryn draw and drink!
So,I have moved out of my flat and I'm now staying in my boyfriends parents house for a month. I finally get to sit down,grab a glass of squash and draw! I know I said I would draw something every day BUT i feel like moving house is a good enough excuse to have not kept this up. But I will persevere from now on. In keeping with this, Adrian and I went the pub on one of the hottest days of year so far (monday?) and had a nice pint. We also tried to draw each other in weird and mysterious ways. Adrian has a very unique drawing style. Here they are,enjoy :)!
