To all visitors - we are both currently working in Germany, so updates here may be pretty sporadic until we get ourselves sorted out :) Cheers!

20TH NOVEMBER Hallo! It's been awhile! Some new drawings in my 2007 section, life drawing at Crytek! And also another creature design, the SPRINTEN. So yep, we've entered that fantastic period for games - Crysis has been released, played through Bioshock, Zelda DS, currently doing Halo 3, with a huge stack to go!

18TH NOVEMBER Oops, bit of a gap since the last update - but we were without the internet for a long time, plus work was busy *excuses excuses* ;) So firstly, I've added a whole new load of life drawing my 2007 section, since it's being done at Crytek in the evenings. :) Then there's a competition entry to create a creature for a game; mine is the TWIGLUM! In other news Crysis has finally been released and is excellent (go buy it!) and there are so many other games out at the moment that I desperately need to play...Assassin's Creed will be the next. :D

19TH AUGUST Hallo! New update up called ALSATIAN, the guardian of the apple path! We're approaching a fantastic season for games, not quite sure how I'll ever find the time for them. My games to be played pile is gonna stack up so high I'll only be catching up with Halo 3 when I'm a pensioner! Exciting!

10TH JULY Hallo! It's been too long! Some new artwork for you: the VIEW, the HILLS, the POSERS, a wee BEASTIE (saw one here in Germany), as well as 2 LIFE DRAWING pics (got loads of those I could upload, shall see). Got myself some rollerblades, have yet to fall over, but oh dear, I really can't skate :P Practice practice!

2ND JULY It's been an age since we last updated, oops! Been so busy though; still, have managed to get a few bits and pieces done! First off there's a CRYSIS GUB, as well as a PAINTING and random WATERCOLOUR piece. Then there's a whole series of life drawing images - lots of quick poses we've been doing at work. They can be seen on the LIFEDRAWING page (the last few images on there :) In other news, Germany is still great fun and I'm still loving my job. :D

8TH MAY Hallo! New pic, entitled HOLDING THE BEAST. Went on a Heroes spree, watched up to the latest ep, is very good, need some full out super power fighting though! And still not a Lost-beater, despite all the naysayers :P Not seen Spiderman 3 yet, it's painful knowing it's out and I haven't seeeeen!!

3RD MAY Guten tag! A new update, it's been awhile! Although at least I have 4 new images to show. :D First off there's some KATAMARI Cousins, then a soldier taking a BREAK, next another obligatory SUPERMAN painting for Truds, and lastly a painting of VENOM for a friend at work! Germany's still great and I'm enjoying work and the people; me and Truds have also joined the 21st century in that we finally got a washing machine, yay! No more hand washing! ;P

19TH APRIL Hullo! New artwork, called LAMPOST (not as dull as it sounds!). Am currently watching Superman Returns on DVD - drool!!

12TH APRIL Hullo! My first update here in Germany :) Just a pic I drew whilst sitting beside the river Main on a rather warm day, called SINKING. Need to get a washing machine, need to drink more coffee, MUST get my shorts sent over! I would actually describe the weather today as hot! The latest ep of Lost was fantastic, more flashbacks on the Others!!

9TH APRIL Guten Tag! Me and Truds are in Deutschland, yay! The job's going well so far, and we're staying in a great little place - need I mention how lovely the food is?! I've done a bit of artwork since being here - have felt so inspired! First of there's the KRATZER, a strange god-like creature, then there's a little pic of ICHIGO, a Katamari Cousin, then a POLLEN Lady, and lastly a strange complimentary COLOURS pic. :) Right, Doctor Who must be watched, buh-bye!
