New shirt soon to drop at the online shop! He loves you already.

..is coming!

Lately I have been feeling as though I am in some strange delusional dream. Like I am not existing in the moments as they are, but as they are not. I guess the only way I could describe the feeling is to illustrate it into a scenario, for example, it’s almost as if all this is just a vivid dream of what I only hoped could be, just waiting to come to the realisation that it’s not. Like I am about to wake at my desk while actually only being 16, simply day dreaming of this life. These past few years have gone incredibly fast, and I have met loads of incredibly talented people along the way, what was once a meer vision in my head has become a reality to that I am currently living. I have managed to form a career, a paying job out of what was once a hobby doodling on the back of math books. So basically I would just like to take some time to say thank you to my family and friends who have made it long enough, who are still there for me while I am taking this journey, to those who still listen to the weird garbage I speak, to those who still understand and hang out with me even due to my over-worked tight schedule, to those who pretend to take an interest in my art and to those who genuinely do. And a huge thank you to everyone that has ever purchased a piece of art off me and have taken their time to view it. I try my best to take the time to reply to those who wish to speak to me, and sometimes I can’t manage to pull it off.

Recently I have had to remove a few things from my life that were holding me back from what it was that I wanted to dedicate my life to doing. I was incredibly unhappy and it was affecting my art and creative performance. Some might hate me for making those decisions, that it may have been some selfish and egotistical act, but from anyone who was in my position I can guarantee they would have done the exact same.

People tell me all the time how lucky I am that I am able to make money off doing what I love to do, I always reply with saying that it isn’t luck at all. I am living proof that with a little hard work, dedication and smart decision making, you can do anything you wish to do. I know my goals and I am willing to work every minute of my life to reach it.

But I dunno, maybe I have just watched too many cartoons today.

To my friends and family who are still in my life I fricking love you all. And to my loyal fans I cannot wait to meet every single one of you. Word.

First personal piece I have released in a while. This fella kept me sane.

Super Scream print available for purchase from the online store. Limited run of 20 and comes with teo free ‘PopSICKle’ mini prints! GO GO GOOOOO!

Finally got around to uploading this. Because Adobe Encoder is a raging moron it has been delayed for some time. But now it’s up!

Finally the release of my latest three piece series called ‘Hunger Pains’. I’ve been working on this pretty much in all of my spare time I have had in past few weeks. This series is based on a dream I had, although the dream wasn’t this specific on it’s representation. This series is also relative to the current state of my stomach. Being lactose and gluten intolerant, while having a sensitivity to certain acidic foods, there really isn’t much I can eat. Yet, I eat it all anyway. Eating is a personal torture, I would rather cut my hands off than eat the monstrous foods I cannot properly digest.

For the past few weeks I have teamed up with the Barry McGoldrick to combine our immense imaginations and thrash it against his wall where he currently resides. I’m pretty sure I haven’t had as much creative freedom that I was able to have on this project. Opportunities lik e wall paintings don’t come around too often where I live, so I knew what I was painting would have to be good with no shortcuts taken.

Excluding the technical troubles with the super-advanced camera and the attention span of a fish, it all took around 12 hours from the first touch of the spray paint and the final flick of the brush.

I’d just like to thank Barry again for this opportunity, it was a frickin sweet day and I can’t wait to do it again!

(The time lapse video is still in preparation and will be posted upon digital upload.)

Alot of you would be pleased to know I have finally released a video of me monstering in Photoshop. In the video you are able to watch a complete drawing from start to finish in just a matter of 5 minutes. Introducing the newest member in the ‘POP-SICK-LE’ family, ‘Loathsome Lemon’. This video is a total fluke by the way, I had no idea what I was doing.
