On July the 1st the Art Hustle vintage style bubblegum card packs go on sale.

I was honoured to be asked to be a part of series one of this collectors card set made up of artists from around the world.

The Art Hustle is a boutique set of artist and art-based trading cards exhibiting an international group of 75 artists working in street art, toy art, kaiju, sketch, illustration, painting, aerosol art, poster art, tattoo art, digital art, collage, sculpture, photography and more. Inspired by trading cards produced from the 1960’s through the 80’s, the set offers up some vintage-inspired flavor including chipboard card stock and the much-loved wax paper wrapper. Cards also come with interesting facts on the backs that you don’t want to miss.

I have done a bunch of ink drawings on the cards to be randomly inserted in the packs. All the artists in the series have also done original works for insertion so you could get a piece of original art with your bubblegum stick.

Here are some of mine.

I hope it makes the cards smell the way they did when I was a kid.. (It was Hammer Horror cards for me back then..)

The Super Punch website is three years old. And to celebrate they asked a whole gaggle of artists to create a Tarot deck for them.

I got to do one of the Major Arcana……

Hmmmm. Maybe a whole Mechtorians Tarot would be nice…

Pop over to Super Punch and check out the rest of the deck.

When I visited the splendid Matt Jones in Manchester last week he was good enough to give me a heap of his mini sticker frames.
These have been drawn upon and I am now giving them away.

Any purchase from my online store will have one of these added as well for free.
Whilst stocks last.

Just order something from the Spookypop Shop and you will get an original hand drawn sticker too… If you are quick.

Here are the second batch.
Remember if you want something drawing you have to contact me about it by the end of September.

Here are the first round of commissioned drawings.
A mixed bag and a few different styles.

Someone’s pet bunny looking dapper.

Sir Charles Brown……….

A Jules Vernian style diver having a spot of trouble with the locals…

Some sort of cute spooky Bat monkey…

A Surreal half steamship half Nawhal… (remember i didnt think these up people asked me to draw them..)

A Tricked out garbage truck (for his son who is facinated with them…)

A couple of my Mechtorians having a spot of Tea on the lawn.

And remember you too can ask for anything you want..

See previous post for details..

In a manner totally stolen from EssRose. :

And I think I should add a rule that I wont do filth…

So no suggestions for images of famous people in uncompromising positions.
Or Furries……….you know…….up to anything unnatural.

(I am rubbish at portraiture likenesses anyway so best not go there).
Characters is one thing.. I could do you a Hellboy or a Batman or whatever but i couldnt to a recognisable Jonny Depp…

I have a new Mechtorian ink drawing in the “Get the Lead Out” show at the Black Maria Gallery in LA.
The show brings together artists from around the world in an exhibition of original pencil and ink drawings.
The sketchbook page planning behind this drawing is also available in the show.

I have some artwork up for auction through the lovely folk at the Octane 3 forum.
All the proceeds will go to help the parents of Ava Jaymes Cipriani who recently sadly died at a very young age from cancer. There are a lot of medical bills for them to deal with and if we all chip in we can help them out at this difficult time.
The auction is being held on the Kid Robot furum as its the largest forum of its kind for this type of toy based art. And Ava’s parents are members there.

This the the thread you need to bid in :

Its in American Dollas but the artwork is shipping from the UK.

The auction ONLY RUNS THIS WEEKEND so get your skates on if you are interested.

These are my two drawings.

There are many many more pieces of art from people all over the world too.. With some big names like TADO and Jon Burgerman.
