Hi!

An illustration for Illustration friday- why did I opt for such an autumnal image in the middle of summer? Who knows!

Here are some paintings I have been beavering away at also

The Wrong Crowd Tee

Here is another Under the moon style character illustration. I have a growing number of these languishing on my hard drive in various states of completion. I'd better get going and populate this blog!

I have moved! New website ahoy!

Hello! If you are reading this, you should head over to my new blog, which is part of my juicy new website! Head over to

Earth Monster, originally uploaded by SteTop.

Here is a scary looking fellow; but don't fret, he is a gentle giant. A big, benevolent hulk that loves the birds ( the winged kind!). It's just a shame the birds leave little presents on his shoulders...!

This charming lady carries around dismembered body parts to feed her demonic hair! That's what you call nourishing your roots!

Hello!

Here is a fun illustration to escape all the darker images I've been making recently. Just trying to rebel against the relentless winter that's approaching (hence the jolly colours!)

Hi there!
Here is a delightful little fello who (you guessed it) likes to kill cherubs! Expect more in this style in the coming months (hopefully a little cheerier though!)

Hullo!

Here is a few little fellas in the style of my self-made book I made a few years back, Under the Moon (I'll probably post that up sometime). I really enjoyed going back to that style, good times!

Hi

here is a play around with the ol' chipboard again!

Pot O Charms

Hi there!
Here is a little fun doodle, hopefully it might be a t shirt (I'm not holding my breath though...!)

some random scribblings

2008-07-04T14:49:00.003+01:00

Hello all!

Here are some sketches I've been chipping away at, hope you like 'em!

Super Nuclo exloration!

2008-06-20T20:42:00.003+01:00

Hey,
Here is another Super Nuclo image, I had a blast making this one, although it took longer than expected, but I think it turned out OK!

Yet another stringed instrument doodled on!

2008-06-13T21:47:00.003+01:00

Hi there, here is yet another customised guitar! I really enjoyed doing this one (plus I love drawing skulls , and this was a nice excuse!) I'll start drawing on just paper and wood now...!

The Kraken- Bass guitar/myth-squid madness!

2008-06-12T00:28:00.003+01:00

Hi there,

Here is another customised guitar, this one didn't take as long as the other (seeming as I made most of the mistakes on the Fender!) An acoustic is coming soon...!

potato head

2008-06-06T19:37:00.002+01:00

Here is a little experiment with painting and pen work, I think I'll be having a go at a few more of these (maybe with smaller heads though...!)

The guitars have eyes

2008-06-05T14:52:00.004+01:00

Here is a Fender I have recently customised. It took quite a while to get done, with little setbacks here and there, but it is finally finished! It was a challenging experience, but a rewarding one. I think the carbon fiber helps bring it along too! Expect some more guitar artwork soon...(hopefully!)

Super Nuclo future!

2008-05-26T02:04:00.003+01:00

Hi! Here is another Super Nuclo image, I wanted the same retro worn look without it looking too similar, I think it worked out.

The Exploro-Matic!

2008-05-22T12:39:00.002+01:00

Here is another retro-futuristic illustration I've been working on. I really enjoyed making the logos, so much in fact I'll be making more illustrations like this under the Super Nuclo 'brand'!

Band of Pirates!

2008-05-06T17:36:00.004+01:00

Hello (or should it be 'Arrr!')

Here is a bunch of pirates, putting together the textures on them really finished them off

The fantabulous beast rider!

2008-04-30T13:50:00.002+01:00

I had a blast doing this one; I have had the sketch on my wall for a long time, and I'm glad I finally got round to finishing it!

The goof'o'matic 3000

2008-04-22T12:37:00.004+01:00

I've had this drawing on my hard drive for a while and have never known where to go with it. I'm quite pleased it turned out in the end!

Homecoming

2008-04-21T15:10:00.002+01:00

Here is another of my photo monster illustrations, the picture was taken at Black Rock in Matlock, Derbyshire. I just loved how strange the little wooden building was.

A T-rex, some alchoholics, a bruiser and some skulls (of course)!

2008-04-08T10:47:00.002+01:00

Here are some illustrations I've been working on recently to keep myself in practice. Hope you enjoy them!

woodland creatures

Creepy man

2008-01-28T01:50:00.000Z

I couldn't resist scanning and colouring this one!

Riff demon

2008-01-24T14:05:00.001Z

heres a doodle of a riff demon; I wish I could say as much!

chalk n charcoal

2008-01-23T17:36:00.000Z

Hullo! Aplologies for the lack of posting, here is a quick sketch!

Shameless self promotion!

2008-01-16T01:40:00.000Z

Hello!
Take a look at my t shirt, you may recognise the doodle!

Pancakes!

2008-01-09T16:14:00.000Z

Happy new year! Let's start the new year with some pancakes, as requested by my American bud, ars morendi- tuck in!

Aaaaand relax!

2007-12-24T18:33:00.000Z

Hello! I'm having a christmas break, I'll be back in the new year with more doodles. Merry Christmas and a happy new year (now where's that whisky....!) ;D

walkies!

2007-12-23T19:34:00.000Z

Imagine the pet food bill....! I really struggled with this doodle, the colours irritated me, but you live and learn I guess!

The Christmas Yeti

2007-12-22T19:38:00.000Z

At last! I have mustered a Festive doodle from the dank depths of my Scrooge heart! ;D
Merry Christmas!

eye-ho!

2007-12-21T12:44:00.000Z

I really must start doing some festive doodles...!

I'm so happy...!

2007-12-20T18:45:00.000Z

This guy is full of the christmas cheer!

fat robot head

2007-12-19T17:40:00.000Z

This doodle was done on a cardboard box with a paint pen and some markers. I really enjoy scruffy doodles, great fun!

space mole

2007-12-19T00:41:00.000Z

I've got quite a space theme going on at the moment, strange...

I scream for ice cream!

2007-12-17T18:05:00.000Z

Hullo! another anti- winter doodle- roll on summer!

robo pants!

2007-12-17T01:50:00.000Z

Technically, it's the 17th, but let's gloss over that (it's only over a few hours!) Here is a nice silly image with bright colours to clear away the melancholy that comes with our crappy english weather!

a skinny stripey fellow

2007-12-15T23:38:00.001Z

made the daily doodle just in time! Had a busy one today so got the trusty pens out! I think he needs to brush his hair...

sasquatch and candy floss don't mix

2007-12-14T10:42:00.000Z

I'm really pleased with how this one has turned out. Expect more of the same in the coming days!

the elephant loving titan

2007-12-13T17:37:00.000Z

Man, I just love drawing monsters! I always have done, I thought I'd mature out of it but nope, it hasn't happened!

space goblin

2007-12-12T12:58:00.001Z

another space doodle

the sad afro

2007-12-11T16:38:00.001Z

just a quick one today!

hello pretty!

2007-12-10T16:25:00.000Z

I just love how horrifically ugly some persian cats are! I would opt for one as a pet any day, I just love those squashed angry faces looking at you in disdain (as only cats do).

Frankie's photos

2007-12-09T19:10:00.000Z

This is Frankenstein letting his hair down on holiday. I think the logo on his hat has a less cheeky suggestion to it and more of a demand!

Maggots!

2007-12-08T16:11:00.000Z

Don't ask why I drew some maggots. I drew a face, and the next minute- tada! maggots! Wasn't sure whether to colour it or not so here are both versions. Who knows, maybe next up it will be beatle larvae in all their splendour...!

Space gremlin

2007-12-07T21:27:00.000Z

*quick edit on 8/12/07*

This is a slant on the airplane gremlin episode of the twilight zone. I think the watercolour layer works better than I expected to give a cosmos feel!

decided to alter this one a little, I thought the texture was too overbearing so here is the new version (the top one!)

low rider

2007-12-06T17:54:00.001Z

I'm not one for drawing cars really, but I had this idea and had to have a go at it! I'm really enjoying the limited palette approach, it really gets the brain going, which is what these daily doodles are all about.

coffee friend

2007-12-05T18:39:00.000Z

This one hasn't turned out as I'd originally planned if I'm to be honest! Oh well, the beauty of a doodle a day is I keep moving onwards and (hopefully) upwards.

Jazz Cat

2007-12-04T17:54:00.000Z

This guy was inspired by guitar shopping today. I imgine him to be one of those hip Jazz guys who play obscure Jazz fusion (whatever that is!)

more doodlings

2007-12-03T22:50:00.000Z

Here are the daily doodles from the weekend and today. Hope you like!

A cyclops for friday

2007-11-30T20:48:00.000Z

Here is a doodle, I'm going to start a series of them, one a day to clear out the cobwebs!

Here are some robots!

Arrr!

2007-11-12T16:45:00.001Z

Here is a pirate I was doodling in my sketchbook I decided to give a bit of colour. Heres the sketch:

Hello, and welcome to the first of many posts! This place will eventually be filled with all different types of work, be it computer generated or (shock horror!) drawn on real paper! I'll start with a selection of works to get things going, hope you enjoy!
