Putting the washing out

Experimenting with textures.  For some reason the final image has came out a bit smaller than I'd hoped but I'm hoping it's just the way I've exported it.  Still need to add some more detail but I reckon it's came out alright.

Stories 2

This is another story and picture from my childhood.  The image has faded a bit but check out how all the people look phallic!

I can't actually make out whether I've drawn the monster in the bottom right or whether I've drawn the monster eating someone....

Doodles

Recently I've been buying loads of poscas and paints for some Russian dolls I'm painting, and since the box has been lying around on my desk I've started doodling on it. I haven't really used posca's much but they're really fun for doodling...really!

Stories

Here is the first story from when I was a child!
I really like this story just for the nerd factor, I mean I could have written about anything but I chose to write about my brother playing on his Nintendo. And by Nintendo, I mean NES! About a year later (maybe even that year) my brother gave me his Spectrum for Christmas and I was stoked! I used to love playing that motorcycle game (still not sure of the name) and Ghostbusters on it, awesome.

Laupside demolished

I know the picture is very unrelated, but I really wanted to blog about this. It seems Laupside a skater built skatepark's been demolished recently by the council, check the article over at French's blog. Normally I wouldn't be so fussed as it's not somewhere I've ever been to/cared about, but we've got a something similar in Newcastle in what is known as the wasteland. The wasteland is, as it sounds, a bit of land where there used to be a factory years ago, and over the years people have came and built different things there.
Anyways, the wasteland is allegedly due to be demolished sometime in the next year, so I thought this was relevant.

Spaceman!

Oh yeah! Guess which bit I drew!?!
My mam has been going through a pile of my old school i found in the loft the other day, and when I say old I mean REALLY OLD. There was lots of colouring in books and worksheets and things, but the best things I found (and kept!) are my old story books, they're amazing! None of the stories make much sense and the pictures are rubbish but they're really funny! I really don't know why people don't keep story books their whole lives and write a new story every week or so (and draw a picture!).
Anyways, I'm now debating whether to upload like a whole book in sections now on my blog or just upload a few of the best stories because I really have to share them. Really.

No more CatPaint.co.uk...

...blog.
I'm pretty sure I wrecked this photo opening the back of my camera, but I'm pretty stoked on it all the same.

By no more blog I mean that catpaint.co.uk will no longer be pointing here in a few days, so everyone wishing to continue visiting this site (who normally visit via www.catpaint.co.uk) will have to start visiting via scrawlthere.blogspot.com instead (yes the title is misleading and I will still be blogging:)). Instead CatPaint.co.uk will be directed towards my portfolio website (which you can check out temporarily here). As I've mentioned before anyone following my RSS feed will have to make some changes...as I previously described.
