regulars’ll know I play guitar and the studio’s recently put an album out for Lloyd Sanderson called ‘Left Phase Blue’. Pete (studio owner/entrepreneur/all round good guy) has just put up a music clip of us ratbags playing one of the songs from the album. If you’re intereted, pop over to Lloyd’s site and have a listen. Click on the Youtube player at the bottom of the screen. If you’d like to hear more snippets of the songs, click on the podcast player over to the right of the main page.
I’ve just finished up frantically drawing black and white images for my last two books and have had to make a gear change into colour mode (which I find rather difficult sometimes-switching from one style to another). Anyway, I’m back to working on picture books again. Below, is the first illustration for the new one I’ve just started. (Line art coloured in Photoshop and Painter)
Sometimes I get the urge to draw the same thing as I’ve drawn (sometimes countless times) before. This theme just keeps on coming back in my quiet moments and I’m more than happy to have another go…. I managed to find an hour or two last night to draw this little lady and her mothy steed…
here’s an older version of the same idea from last year….
Here’s this year’s Christmas card. I finally managed to get one done in between all the work I’ve had to do lately. the wife’s been on at me for ages to do it, so I did. I must admit, I’m fairly happy with the way it turned out…. Considering I only spent 3 or so hours on it. (touch-up work in photoshop and painter).
It’s been quite a while in coming, but the music my pal Pete and I have been working on for Lloyd Sanderson for what seems like years has culminated in a CD at last. If anyone’s interested, swing by and have a listen to a few snippets:

just hit the play button on the media player. Warning: This is old fart’s music, don’t play this if all you like to hear is pop/pap or boomboom music. (laughs). I’m playing guitars on the songs-quick, grab yer’ earplugs! And if you’re still interested after listening to it, there’ll be an unplugged video going up on the page next week some time…
(Above) Here’s the cover art I produced for the CD (I’d like to thank photoshop etcetc..)
Have a great weekend everyone.
Aaron.
Lots of changes happening around me at the moment, both global and personal. These past few weeks I’ve felt like a seat on a see-saw… up, down, up, down..etc. Thankfully, at least one thing is constant in my life…. Deadlines. gotta love’em.
This sketch was based on the photos of the very beautiful Elandria:

I’m feeling very very up and down at the moment, if I said the words ‘Earth changes’ would anyone reading this have any idea what I meant? There’s a whole lot happening right now and it’s running people through the wringer. I’m both (strangely) exhausted and elated. It’s a very important time for us. watching how the banks are taking a tumble, the changing weather patterns, people’s spiritual growth, watching the younger generations with so much potential, watching how the so-called ‘powers that be’ are taking a nosedive into their breakfast cereals-(hooray!)…. So much happening out there. I sit and think about all this stuff all day as I work and given how many things I’ve experienced in my lifetime be it physically, psychically, spiritually and emotionally, I feel qualified enough to say that we are in for some surprises very soon. Strap yerself in Bub it’s gonna be one hell of a ride!…..
