Greenbelt Gig Sketches and Webcomic News

I went to Greenbelt Festival last weekend and did some gig sketches while I was there. Sketches in order of appearance: The Hackney Colliery Band, Stonoway, Levi Hummon, Dizraeli and the Small gods and Ellie Rose. The Rising sketch features Martyn Joseph, Rory Butler, Heather Hind and Chris T-T.

Giant Rhinos In Space is currently on a chapter break so I can work on other exciting projects such as music zines and mini comics. But it turned out that August was a exciting and busy time for commissions. This has pushed back the starting point for chapter 3. I'm not going to make any promises to when it will return because I don't want to rush and sacrifice quality. Sorry for the delay.

 Dizraeli and the Small Gods with The Beatbox Collective - Never Mind

I thought I'd share some of my favourite music from the festival.

Pip

Pip is a lot of fun to draw. I try to draw her in the most comfortable clothes I can think of because that matches her opinions and personality. She usually ends up looking like a festival attendee.

The Heat by Jungle

When I'm drawing at home I listen to a lot of podcasts and radio. If I hear a song on BBC6Music I really love I write it on the side or back of my drawings to look up on the internet later. This drawing has a note for 'Crueler Kind by San Fermin' but I can't find a steaming site with that particular track. (I'll try and link it in a later post if I ever find it) This is Jungle instead, one of my favourite bands from the Sound of 2014 list. I really love music videos that feature dancing.

Don't forget Giant Rhinos In Space is launching at 12noon (GMT) on Friday 31st January 2014!

Sisters and Friends

(L to R) These are Carl's sisters Nat, Em and everyone's friend Julie. When I went with my sister to see Haim last year there were lots of friends taking selfies while they were waiting for the band to come on. Their faces lighting up in the dark when the flash goes off.

Arcade Fire - Sprawl II 

I've not posted many music influences recently. I've been listening to a lot of Arcade Fire recently. Their big songs seem really great to listen to over new year. It's like their music brightens up the winter months.

Christmas 2013

Happy Christmas from Pip and Annie!

Bellowhead - Christmas Bells

Giant Rhinos On Tour #3 - The Crossroads

 

This 6 page mini comic is to be photocopied and given out at events. The printed version will also contain the ACE POSTER mentioned on the cover. I'm also hoping to print a full cover version.

Lot 105

Annie with her band. Jack on drums, Tracy on Keyboard and Louise on bass.

 

 U900 - Twist and Shout

I thought about posting a couple of different songs before remembering that this would be perfect. It's everyones favourite crocheted ukulele duo, U900!

Lilly

I'm pleased with this illustration so I'm going to skip my upload plan and post it now. Her name is Lilly but I don't want to tell you any more about her because of the risk of spoiling the comic.

I buy a lot of my CDs second hand because its cheaper and I usually don't mind waiting until I eventually find an album at a good price. Theres a couple of little sketches from the Adam and Joe Show all about CD's that I wanted to share but I can't find any of the specific clips in high quality to post. But you can watch any episode online through 4OD. I recommend the first episode of vinyl justice - you can skip forward to the middle of the episode, just after the advert break.

The Wannadies - Big Fan

I love the music video for this song, it was really low budget but works really well
