pensive hipster...

...with some impressive hair-age going on.

dogs in jumpers

A chihuaua, in a pink jumper? Aren't there organisations out there to stop this sort of thing?

(see also 'clothes for dogs')

Happy 100th birthday!

THIS is what you'll get if you live to be 100. Gawd bless her & all who sail in her (who said 'off with his head'?)

(From 'Cartoon Kid Strikes Back' by Jeremy Strong with scrawls provided by my good self)

God's chewing gum & other stories...

At this point on a Friday I like to ponder some of the bigger questions...

Cartoon Kid Strikes Back! OUT NOW!

'Cartoon Kid Strikes Back' the 3rd in the Cartoon Kid series written by Jeremy Strong & illustrated by myself is published today!
There's police elephants, hippo dinners,hamster family fun,cake chaos & much more!

Get out of your chair & take a walk to your local independent bookshop & buy one!

- or else be a lazy arse & you can get it on the interweb

Impending Hastings rumble (w/ added noise)

...there I am, busy drawing unsuitable sound effects when I'm suddenly distracted by determined teenage boys en route to an impending scrap in Hastings town centre - happily I haven't been personally involved in one of these for many years (as the great PaulMcCartney&MichaelJackson might've said - 'I'm a lover not a fighter')

Unwelcome beasties...

Sometimes the temptation to go out & affix a cat mask onto a dog is just too irresistable!

Does this make me a bad man?

Animated promo - 'Simple Life' by Sam Frank

I'm very excited about being able to put a link to my brand new animated promo that I just completed for Sam Frank's debut single Simple life - you can see it here http://vimeo.com/stevemay/sam-frank-simple-life

New animation

I've just finished a new animated short - you can see it here

Tea & fags (& more bowl cuts)

Some more sketchbook flotsam from my recent bowl cut explorations. Also seems to have a certain retro feel harking back to that '60s / '70s behind the scenes footage where everybody seems to be perma-smoking in the workplace. Even the tea lady usually has a pipe or similar

Bowl cuts we have loved...

Lest we forget - the role of the pudding basin in tonsorial culture - we salute you!

Dysnumria

This was drawn especially for a dear friend's brilliant party on 11/11/11 taking in numerology,the bible, the Pixies, Doctor Who & a few silly animals - very much like a slice of my life really...

Synchronised swimming & lycanthropy

Be honest, who hasn't always wanted to know what would happen if a synchronised swimmer was ravished by a werewolf? They missed a trick in the 2012 Olympics I tell ya!

Colonels & fish paste

Drawn in response to a 9 year old's poem about a Colonel that smells of fish paste(!)

spectacular beard

It's too rainy outside. On the bright side , I've just seen a spectacular beard!

Sausage dog of doom...

It's British Sausage Week apparently... there's a week for everything!

hungry...

this was my lunchtime...how about yours?

More bears & chairs

In new improved colour©*

RIP Steve Jobs

Here's one I posted earlier but quite prescient : (

forgot your pants!

...again!

public health warning...

...ever.

That's all.

Brick Lane market inventory

I like the little stalls off Brick Lane which just seem to stock desperate rubbish. Old TV remote anyone? F*** gentrification!

Espresso Toothpaste™

for that extra zizzz in the mornings...now with added amphetamine sulphate!™ to grind 'em clean!

Say 'NO' to bullying!

what ever happened to Betamax?

It's over here! Move along now...
(another unsuccessful pitch!)

how to make a devil sandwich

...well, you never know - tuck in!

placing a whale in a glass of water...

Always wondered how that's done?
a) Yes
b) No

(mostly 'a'- this is the blog for you!
mostly 'b' - move along, nothing to see here)

ones that got away...

Some characters I designed for a mooted animation series a while back - nothing happened as far as I know but they're probably being reproduced on low quality lunchboxes somewhere in the world as we speak...

impending hotdog accident...

Cheap meat products, wheels, unwise fringe growth...what could possibly go wrong?

Bears with chairs

...plus added ice cream!

Hercules (cross version)

I was rooting around old bits of artwork & found this picture of Hercules fighting the Nemean lion which was drawn for the cover of a book called 'Hercules The Hero' by Tony Bradman but rejected for being a bit too aggressive - I re drew it but quite like this version too - I love a bit of Greek mythology me!

That's the answer, what's your question?

Return of the meanest genie!

I just received a copy of the latest in the Jiggy McCue series by Micheal Lawrence - here's a genie from the back cover!

SPLANG!

Bears with chairs...

The Haunted Cagoule

Whilst anticipating English festival rain I was just reminded of the strange haunting oddness of the word 'cagoule' - surely a movie BEGGING to be made!*

*never ask me for movie investment advice huh?

slow news week...

As there's been very little in the news thought I might break the tedium with a couple of sketches from recent festival visit...
