Rodent-Robot.. geddit?
Ok, it’s lame I know it is, but I’ve never been very good with werds. I have lots of respect for people who can channel their feelings and opinions through words on a page, I can’t.. so sticking to messing about with a [digital] pencil is as close as I ever get.
Things are hotting up and getting frantic at werk. The blog and a lot of other stuff has had to take a back seat over the last few weeks, and that’s set to continue right up ’till August. So as usual, if I haven’t replied to an email it’s probably because I’ve either lost it under the morass of spam I get every day, my junkmail filter has decided you want to selll me pictures of women with greyhounds, or, I just haven’t got round to it yet.
I was going to blog about The Monster Engine a few weeks back. Then I found everyone on the web was talking about it anyway. Last to the party as usual.. The site seems to be down at the moment, but it’s well worth a look. It’s a bunch of paintings done by artists, interpreting childrens drawings. Some of them are absolutely stunning.

Yow, it’s hot. Not the lovely sunny hot that comes with a nice cool breeze and a bit of sunshine. It’s the oppressive muggy heat that by rights, should break with a good thunderstorm. But seeing as we rarely get anything as interesting as that.. it’s just oppressive, muggy and almost impossible to work in.
I find myself thinking that I’d get more done if I was at work with the air con. How very depressing.
I also find myself wondering if I could ever make a career out of illustration. I look at so much stuff online, and it’s always very stylised, often in vectors. By comparison most of my work looks like unfinished sketches, probably because that’s exactly what most of them are. Should I find a new style, a new ‘voice’ and try and work towards a more illustrative career.. or continue on working a (sort of) 9 – 5, hoping that nothing ever goes wrong and never really taking any risks?
Who knows. Not me. Christ it’s hot.
