New Scientist - Reality

As happened earlier this year shortly after being commissioned by Arc magazine (see previous post) I was commissioned by their sister publication New Scientist. I always enjoy a New Scientist job and this one was really engaging if a little mind bending, the subject was the tiny matter of 'reality'.

I produced four illustrations for the feature. Here's two of them Mr Mobious and Virtual Alice. I wonder what images were produced in other dimensions by an alternative reality me? perhaps I never did it at all? perhaps they only exist because you are looking? you are looking? is there anybody out there?

That has to be one of my best blog titles eh?

Unfortunately I did not write it, it's the title of a short story by David Gullen which I was asked to illustrate for Arc magazine, thank's Arc for another thoroughly enjoyable commission.

Soma Snakeoil

This is a portrait of fab rubber clad Soma Snakeoil that I created for Pronsaints. It is a limited edition of 10 and is available here.

I hope I did it right, I think she is quite strict.

Bye for now.

Cicada

Here's a picture I made of a Cicada, I created him with pencil, acrylic and digital painting … pretty cute huh?

There's not too much in the cute category in the insect world. Impressive, weird, formidable, fascinating and lots of other superlatives but not so much cute, apart from cicadas and bees and ladybirds and those little jumping spiders with the forward facing eyes, they are pretty cute, no? well I think they are, it's my opinion and I am entitled to it!

More soon.

Bye for now x
