Journal~

Ah, you know how it is; any journal title is better than just ‘a devious entry’. :D

Just a couple of things really… a while ago I posted information concerning a charity auction for Stephanie ~StudioPsycho who had her and a friend’s apartment broken into in broad daylight. Well the first auction seemed to go really well, and as there were so many artists who wanted to contribute artwork towards the cause, a second auction has been listed. There are a number of days to go before it ends and I figured I would advertise it here in case anyone is interested (or if you want to band together with friends to place a group bid and get a choc-load of artwork). So without further ado, the second auction page can be found here: [link]

Secondly, I just want to thank everyone who posted answers to my ‘style’ question thingy a couple of entries back. I had so many messages in the end that I couldn’t possibly reply to them all (I’m sorry guys), but I have to say that the results were both interesting and helpful! The questions were designed to encourage constructive criticism, and as such provided some insight into the areas you think I could improve on. So thank you! ;)

Also on the subject of thanks, I feel I must express my appreciation for the amount of watches (and faves) I’ve received recently. Thanks guys, I’m always honoured that you’d even consider my messy sketchy splat-ness as being watch worthy! :hug:

Question; I’m currently reviewing my prints and would like to ask everyone (on a serious note) if there’s anything in particular that is currently displayed in my gallery that they would like to see made available as a print? Unfortunately, the ‘request a print’ feature no-longer alerts me when it’s been clicked, so I must resort to asking what people would like here. :)

On an altogether different subject, I’ve had a lot of people asking me all sorts of questions regarding The String of Pearls project, and so just to clarify…

1. Yes, I am serious.
2. No it is not based on Sondheim’s version or Tim Burton’s. It is an adaptation of the original Penny Dreadful, which is altogether more sinister and dark humoured… without the emo element… or the singing to inanimate objects.
3. No, I don’t have pages yet as I’m still working on the character designs and general art direction.
4. No, I don’t have a site for it yet and I won’t do until A. I’ve got a couple of pages already and B. I’ve figured out the technicalities (such as self-archiving etc…;)
5. Yes, I might produce it in a way that could eventually be printed in graphic novel format and no, you can’t pre-order as I’ve not seriously considered things that far.
6. Yes, I might make the concepts available to buy in a separate volume.
7. I’m not going to rush. The comic might appear sometime this year or next. At the moment I don’t know as things are a bit unstable and until I get into a productive routine, I can’t say for sure when it will be announced.
8. No I am not a cause for concern. There’s a reason for the amount of Sweeney Todd stuff I have surrounding me and this is it... inspiration, research… for my project. It’s creative, not psychological. I do not need to pay a visit to Dr. Crane or Fogg’s asylum thank you very much.

Now say hello to the nice pie lady…

The fabulous Tod Wills ~coyotepuck completes the set that I commissioned him to create in spectacular fashion. I want to marry his painting skills as well as his arts. They are better than anything Sweeney and Madge can produce…
