<div class="p1">
The Nightmare of Milky Joe is my favourite episode of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mighty_Boosh" target="_blank">The Mighty Boosh</a> (Season 2, Episode 6). It's also the episode that has made me think the most. If you haven't seen it yet, go and watch it now because this post contains spoilers. </div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s2"><strike>Harold</strike></span><span class="s1"> Howard Moon and Vince Noir are the epitome of the classic Double Act, expressing two very different world views and approaches to life. </span>They are similar in every way but their outlook on life and it makes all the difference. Vince (played by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_Fielding" target="_blank">Noel Fielding</a>) has the populist viewpoint; a fickle follower of fashion who is ready to make friends with everyone. Howard (played by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Barratt" target="_blank">Julian Barratt</a>) is an outsider; focusing on how different he is from everyone else. Vince is obscenely confident while Howard’s self worth is reliant on others' opinions. Vince will take credit for anything and look good doing it, while Howard tries to avoid blame, looking guilty all the while.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /><span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">In The Nightmare of Milky Joe the pair are marooned on a desert island, so t</span>he idea that they construct they own realities is compounded by the fact that all the other characters on the island are imaginary (arguably). While Vince sees opportunities (like selling bamboo trousers to pandas and coconut three-ways), Howard sees the world closing in on him as the imaginary police give chase after he flips out and kills his abusive imaginary girlfriend.</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /><span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The pair are like are like Yin and Yang. Their conflict is usually over what approach they should take with a problem. I used to be like Howard - shifty, awkward, unsure - but over the years many things (not least of all this episode of The Mighty Boosh) have made me realise that Vince Noir has got it right. </span>I do my best to follow Vince’s lead and cultivate an appreciation of the simple things in life (not Kings of Leon though). I have found that when I make an effort to find the good in things, more things start looking good to me. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
In Taoism there is a balance in the world: No good or bad, things merely are. This way you can turn constraints into structure, problems into solutions and try to see things as they are before figuring out how to make it better. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
It’s good to see things from both sides, Howard’s concern for self-preservation and Vince’s belief in possibilities, but these days I choose not to let the emotion of anxiety prevail.</div>

Continuing my intermittent flirtation with screen printing, I joined <a href="http://www.peckhamprintstudio.com/" target="_blank">Peckham Print Studio</a>'s Field Trip to the <a href="http://www.horniman.ac.uk/" target="_blank">Horniman Museum & Gardens</a> towards the end of last year. My resulting two colour screen print is above.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Horniman is a fantastic local museum that was opened in 1901 by a Victorian collector and, in the spirit of the age, it's crammed full of fascinating and exotic stuff; including natural history, African and musical instrument collections.<br />

The trip was led by <a href="http://www.murphytom.com/" target="_blank">Tom Murphy</a>, an artist and fastidious screen printer, and consisted of one day of drawing at the museum and another day of printing at the studio. On day one we started out in the Natural History gallery, moved on to the African gallery, then the Music gallery and ended with a bit of sketching outside. Below are some of my sketches. They are all done with india ink in a <a href="http://www.artsupplies.co.uk/item-pentel-aqua-brush.htm" target="_blank">Pentel Aquash brush pen</a> on tracing paper.</div>

On day two the group worked on producing a 2 colour A4 print each, back at the print studio. We were very thoroughly guided through the whole process by Tom, and as I only vaguely remembered what to do it was very helpful. We chose a composition from what was produced the day before and then exposed the tracing paper drawings directly onto a screen.</div>

I chose the case of tree climbers and the horn assemblage to overlay in black and gold. It looks like an almost claustrophobic layering of slightly random stuff that - I think - represents the museum quite well. I'd highly recommend a visit and, if you're interested in joining a Field Trip, keep an eye on <a href="http://twitter.com/peckhamPS" target="_blank">Peckham Print Studio's Twitter account</a>.</div>

This week I have been working at an auction house where billionaires go to outbid each other in order to add pieces of history to their collections. As you would imagine, there is the occasional conversation among staff about what one would buy if one happened to be so filthy rich. I like to think I wouldn’t be so selfish as to hoard masterpieces for mind-numbing sums of money but, then again, if I had worked to earn millions I might feel differently.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Imagining myself as a person with altogether too much money, I know exactly what my prized jewel would be. A Monet. Specifically, there's a painting of the Houses of Parliament at Sunset in the <a href="http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/" target="_blank">National Gallery</a> that I have long been attached to.</div>

On Wednesday morning, as the vehicle of my daily commute crested Westminster Bridge in the drizzle, it was as if Claude was crammed next to me in the humid haze of the tightly packed bus. (Qu'est-ce que vous voyez là-bas?) The view out of the window became very familiar. I patted around for my phone so I could take a picture. I had two shots. I think the second one did it some justice. </div>

<div class="p1">
Monet did a spectacular job of describing to us what he saw but at least a part of his message was that the light always changes and you will never see the same thing twice. Definition is hard to come by and perhaps definition is ultimately undesirable.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
There is a poem by Lisel Mueller called <a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/236810" target="_blank">‘Monet Refuses the Operation’</a> where Mueller imagines Monet as an old man addressing the doctor who would like to operate to restore his sight:</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
“What can I say to convince you</div>
<div class="p1">
the Houses of Parliament dissolve</div>
<div class="p1">
night after night to become</div>
<div class="p1">
the fluid dream of the Thames?</div>
<div class="p1">
I will not return to a universe</div>
<div class="p1">
of objects that don’t know each other,</div>
<div class="p1">
as if islands were not the lost children</div>
<div class="p1">
of one great continent..."</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I don't feel the need to own a Monet. I am free to google or to go to fine public galleries and stare for hours on end at his work. Or better yet, I can look through the sweaty condensation of a London bus window and see something transcendent when I expected to be bored.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
Now I imagine owning a Monet is like owning a stuffed tiger. It's all well and good but it's dead now, and is no substitute for the living, breathing beast. </div>

I spend a fair amount of time in the park. Parks in general, but specifically Warwick Gardens in Peckham. Walking or just hanging out with the dog, waiting for more dog owners to show up. It's quite a community that I had no idea existed before I got a dog. We've made lots of friends and this Sunday we're holding a dog show.</div>

The Warwick Wag is on this Sunday (5th October) from 2pm. I volunteered to do the poster so you can check out the details below... </div>

Here's a piece that I did recently. It was commissioned as a birthday gift for one of a trio of friends. The brief was that it had to include a tricycle (as a symbol of their three-way friendship) and the words "Ride or die".</div>

A while ago I did a one day screen printing workshop at <a href="http://peckhamprintstudio.com/" target="_blank">Peckham Print Studio</a>. It's the first time I had ever touched a screen or a squeegee or anything, and I came away with a two colour print edition of 10! Not bad. I'd highly recommend the workshop to anyone interested in screen printing and Hugh and Nathan are very helpful.<br />
<br />
The piece is two stylised snakes, intertwined in an infinite Celtic Knot. A snake eating its own tail has long been a symbol of love without end, and these two have clearly decided to stick together!<br />
<br />
I have listed <a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/183093723/limited-edition-screen-print-forever" target="_blank">the print in my Etsy shop</a> if you are interested in picking up a hand printed piece for your wall. There are 6 looking for homes. Full details are in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/183093723/limited-edition-screen-print-forever" target="_blank">the listing</a>.<br />

You may have guessed that I love animals, and that I live in London. There aren't that many wild animals living in London, but I still love the sight of every single one of them. A lot of people consider them vermin, but rats, mice, foxes, pigeons, crows, are all magic for my eyeballs. </div>

There are quite a lot of foxes around Peckham, where I live, and I always thrill at a late night sighting when the streets are dark and quiet. That's what inspired me to make this print - called 'We Roam Your Streets at Night'. </div>

<b>And now for the technical bit..</b><br />
I created the whole print in Photoshop, working over a sketchbook page that I had scanned in. I like working with layers and playing on the interaction between them, so I decided to limit the colour palette by working on 3 layers: one cyan, one magenta and one yellow. I set the layer blending modes to 'multiply' so that the colours would mix where they are overlaid.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I drew into the layers using my trusty <a href="http://www.wacom.com/en/gb/" target="_blank">Wacom</a> tablet. Here's a step-by-step GIF...<br />

So the colours I had to work with are cyan, magenta and yellow. Along with... </div>
<div>
Cyan and magenta making dark blue;</div>
<div>
Magenta and yellow making orange;</div>
<div>
Yellow and cyan making green;<br />
No colours means you see the white page;</div>

And if all three colours are present they make a dark colour, almost black.</div>

I was recently commissioned to paint a flamingo on the same large scale as <a href="http://abihey.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/to-b-african-grey.html" target="_blank">this African Grey parrot</a> that I painted 2 years back. </div>

The first thing I did was grab the opportunity to go to <a href="http://www.zsl.org/zsl-london-zoo/" target="_blank">London Zoo</a> and see some flamingos in flesh and feather. They are seriously weird creatures - all pink and showy with spindly toothpick legs, unfeasible necks and big banana beaks. It was really helpful to spend an afternoon watching them walk about, feed, preen. They have a very surreal grace and beauty, and are such a joy to draw!</div>

This piece is in fact 1.5 x 2 metres, watercolour on paper. Trying to manoeuvre a sheet that large is a heck of a challenge especially when it's just come off the roll. I used <a href="http://www.docmartins.com/" target="_blank">Dr Ph Martin's liquid watercolours</a>, which are really concentrated pigments. They are light-fast and because they're liquid it's easy to mix large enough quantities to cover this size. The paper is <a href="http://www.stcuthbertsmill.com/st-cuthberts-mill-paper/saunders-waterford-watercolour/" target="_blank">Saunders Waterford watercolour paper from St Cuthberts Mill</a> in 300gsm rough.</div>

I recently had a lovely afternoon sketching at the British Museum. Working from home as I do, I thought it would be good to get out of the house and just draw stuff. After eating my packed lunch in the Great Court I went down to the Africa gallery. I've never actually been in there before and I thought it would be a fitting warm-up for my upcoming trip to Cape Town. I'm travelling there soon for a 2 month working holiday/sabbatical, and I wonder how much of this stuff I will find in the museums there...</div>

I made the decision to sketch with pen only - I used my Preppy 0.3 fountain pen loaded with brown Rotring ink - and just went for it. Admittedly me 'going for it' is everybody else's 'super slow-mo' and I spent my entire time in just one room.<br />

This guy (above) is kind of in the corner of the room i was in, and even though it's massive (you could probably fit 3 people inside it in a very cosy manner) it's very plain and initially looks just like a giant basket. He is in fact an Eland, which is a hefty kind of South African antelope, and as soon as I identified his little head and tail I knew I had to draw him.</div>
<br />
I took a few photo pictures while I was there too...<br />

This is just an experiment for my sketchbook portrait, using Dr Martens liquid watercolours (because they're hyper bright) and oil based pitt pencil (because it's proper black). I think it worked.</div>

I drew Nicki Minaj from a picture in an old issue of Wonderland. Once I start drawing, it often amazes me how crazy celebrities faces are and Nicki's is just about as nuts as she is. </div>

(It's waaay too late to say Happy New Year!)<br />
<br />
I have started a new blog - <a href="http://heyillustration.blogspot.co.uk/">Hey Illustration!</a> It is dedicated to the subject of Illustration (clearly) and the issues that affect professional Illustrators. I have made my <a href="http://heyillustration.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/hey-everybody.html">first post</a>, which is a short introduction to the blog and a bit about myself. There are great things coming so if you are an Illustrator get involved!<br />
<br />
Check out <a href="http://www.heyillustration.blogspot.co.uk/">www.heyillustration.blogspot.co.uk</a><br />
<br />
Follow <a href="https://twitter.com/HeyIllustration">@HeyIllustration on Twitter</a><br />
<br />
I'm quite excited to have made a <a href="https://plus.google.com/communities/105821411575221905088">Google+ community</a> as well. If you aren't on G+ give it a try and join us! I hope the community will be a great way to engage with other Illustrators, help each other out and have some fun at the same time.<br />
<br />
Don't fret! This blog will continue as usual with posts about my work, development and inspiration.<br />

<a href="http://www.lostinlondonmagazine.com/">Lost in London</a> is a beautiful quarterly magazine about living simply in the city. It initially caught my eye because of its natural bent and local attitude. They also happen to make fantastic use of illustration between the covers.</div>

So I decided to decorate our living room window myself and have <i>two </i>trees! I took a whole day to do plus some preparation and editing but was worth it.<br />
<br />
I used <a href="http://www.posca.com/uk">Posca markers</a> to draw on the glass because they're opaque and they will scrub off no trouble.<br />
<br />
The music is from <a href="http://music.sufjan.com/">Sufjan Stevens'</a> new Christmas album called Silver and Gold. It's very festive and a bit weird, but brilliant. (And would make a great gift for a Sufjan fan!)<br />
<br />
I have made a few attempts to produce a video, but this time I swore I would post it no matter how it turned out. So here goes...<br />
<br />
And Merry Christmas!<br />

I got an iPhone 5 when they were released and really didn't want to put a bulky case or cover on it and spoil the look. I thought there must be a better way to protect and enhance your phone. The aluminium back plate offered quite a nice opportunity to add some decoration onto the phone and merge it seamlessly onto the handset. And so, the Vinyl Back was born!<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="http://phone-pop.com/">Phone-Pop.com</a> is an online store that I have created. There are 6 sets to choose from and 3 different designs in each set. Because the Vinyl Backs are easily removable you can change the look of your phone as often as you like. <br />

They are all original designs that I have created and I hope the range has a little something for everyone, whether you want your Vinyl Backs to be bold or blend in. I aim to release new designs regularly so the options will increase!</div>

<br />
On Saturday <a href="http://www.kaylenealder.com/home.html">Kaylene Alder</a> and I held a stall together at <a href="http://brixtonmarket.net/">Brixton Market</a>. This was my first ever market experience (not <i>going</i> to market, I've been to a lot of markets). I have been feverishly printing and wrapping and working on my offering in the past couple of weeks and I think it paid off. We did a good job assembling a stall that looked well stocked and quite neat (which was in fact entirely held together with duct tape).<br />
<br />
I think we will be doing more of these in the future. I'll be sure to let you know when it will happen! <br />
<br />
Until then I will shortly be listing some of the items I have produced on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/abiheyneke">my Etsy shop</a>. <br />
<br />
Take a look at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/craftybirdcollective">Kaylene's Etsy shop</a>.<br />
<br />
And enjoy some pictures from Saturday!...<br />

I love <a href="http://altjband.com/">alt-J</a>. I'm not alone in this, because their album 'An Awesome Wave' is amazing. I wanted to create an illustration in response to their music.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One song that stood out to me from the beginning was '<a href="http://soundcloud.com/alt-j/fitzpleasure?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=blogger&utm_content=http://soundcloud.com/alt-j/fitzpleasure" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Fitzpleasure</a>'. It has this amazing off beat choral intro and then a super dirty bass drop. I read the lyrics and while very poetic, they are also dirty. And then I found out about the short story that inspired the track - <a href="http://crab.rutgers.edu/~barbares/Recent%20American%20Writing/PDFs/Selby,%20Tralala,%20Last%20Exit%20to%20Brooklyn.pdf">Tralala from Last Exit To Brooklyn</a> by <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/2004/apr/28/guardianobituaries.film">Hubert Selby Jr</a> - which is just beyond dirty into abject and brutal. Still, if you have the stomach for it it's a thought provoking read. This image is influenced by the track, rather than the story. </div>

The patterning around the wrists is in inspired by pylons. They are strong but usually situated in a bleak landscape.</div>

The cables also continue on from that sentiment. They represent the visceral without being too graphic, and also show connection, turmoil, confusion and restriction.</div>

The stain shape in the background is more directly from the ending of the Selby Jr story, but in general it's representative of the wake of destruction and dissipation and entropy: the dissolution of all things.</div>

Sorry if this doesn't make a whole lot of sense and it sounds like I'm pussy-footing around the issue (it's because I am). It should make more sense if you have dug into the 'Fitzpleasure' lyrics or have read the story. I've done remarkably well to get to the end of this post without mentioning gang rape once.</div>

Book cover of Hemlock Grove by Brian McGreevy</h3>
</div>

This fantastic cover caught my eye. I'm intrigued by the melodramatic werewolf novel that it represents as well. It has very mixed reviews but it's being made into a series by Netflix and I think it might be worth a read. I tend to judge books by their covers.<br />

Toujours et Jamais (Always & Never) by Pierre-Eugene-Emile Hébert</h3>

Hébert was a sculptor in Paris who had an unremarkable career aside from this piece in terracotta, which caught Baudelaire's eye at the 1859 Salon and remains a sensation on Tumblr. It now lives in the <a href="http://www.mbam.qc.ca/en/">Montreal Museum of Fine Arts</a>.</div>

It's a sunny afternoon in London and you should probably be outside enjoying it, rather than inside reading blog posts. If you want something to look at while you're out bathing in the sunshine then why not pick up a copy of CRUSHfanzine? You can enjoy my portrait of Novak Djokovic and loads of other stunning work on paper. You don't need to hack an unsecured WiFi network or even have any battery left to enjoy it.</div>
