bobvids

New avatar, background and video watermark for bobvids, for his big new rebrand. I previously worked for this guy when he went under the names tortoiseontour, SheSellsSheShells and Kamoc, but these images are designed to go across all his various platforms.

The background is designed as such so that the key details are always visible at any resolution, but more of the picture is revealed when you view on bigger devices.
I peppered the tapes and cases in the background with dumb little jokes and references to Bob's videos and content. See how many you can spot!

RealSovietBear

Themed avatar, header and offline image for RealSovietBear's Twitch channel inspired by old Soviet propaganda posters.

New Commissions

Let's Play Dark Dreams Don't Die by Wottermelon

Lasers & Feelings by Six Feats Under

Let's Play The Order 1886 by KalonZombie

Three new Let's Play thread banner commissions completed this month.

T-shirts!

Uploaded some new and old designs to my new Spreadshirt shop!

Give em a look. I'll be updating them periodically while I try to garner interest. I started with some feminist designs but there's a few other things too.

Another Dylan

Recent commission for a portrait of Bob Dylan, on the back of my Dylan Thomas portrait.

I've done a bunch of other stuff lately that I'm not able to show or talk about yet but you'll see it soon!

I Can Discuss My Emotions

A teacher friend of mine used The Princess and the Fog as a teaching resource recently to introduce her pupils to the idea of writing about their feelings. The culmination of this process was, apparently, to have them write letters to me, personally, about what makes them sad and what can cheer them up again.

Some very excellent highlights:

Pearla and her Unpredictably Perfect Day

Last month I teased some images from an upcoming book that I illustrated. I'm pleased to tell you that this book now has an official listing on the publishers' website and will be available for purchase come December: http://www.jkp.com/uk/pearla-and-her-unpredictably-perfect-day-34528.html

Who Are You

Some concept sketches I made for Jessica Kingsley Publishers' upcoming book about gender identity Who Are You. They ultimately went in another direction with another illustrator but I'm blogging about it anyway to prove I'm not even bitter or anything! What a class act.

New Commission Portraits

A couple recent portrait commissions, both on 8 x 8" canvases. One is of alcoholic chainsmoking poet Dylan Thomas, the other is based on this classic Simpsons bit. As well as just general collagey nonsense, you can actually see some thematically appropriate stuff hidden away in the backgrounds of each if you look closely.
