I Would Be...

Here's a little something I did for this fun project pioneered by Tahgasa Bertram (Sweaty Eskimo)- the project is called "I would be" , the aim of the project is for illustrators/designers to simply create an image to respond to the idea of themselves being something if they weren't in their particular artistic field, check out more here at the link- http://www.sweatyeskimo.co.uk/iwouldbe.html The project at some point will materialize into something to showcase the work at some point, but for now it's just a really fun idea!

So here's mine, very stereotypically me= ridiculous

Intruder T-Shirts

Ok everyone here's the deal! I'm getting a limited edition design from my new "Game Over" series printed for Intruder Records new clothing label in october, lush high quality screen printed tees! There's no catch here, the tee shall exist, BUT the question is which one out of the four!? YOU get to decide, go to http://www.intruderrecords.co.uk/author/murraythemongoose/

and vote/rate your favourite design out of the four! The one with the highest vote/rate will be selected and printed, so get voting out of the four designs below! Boo-Yah! Did I mention the prices of the selected Tee is going to be Insane...but can't give it all away just yet :P

Hello! Yes it's t-shirt mania, I'm now working with Intruder Records (http://www.intruderrecords.co.uk/) designing t-shirts for the clothing label they're going to start! So awesome times, details of the promotions/exact t-shirts etc. and the rest will soon to come, but in the mean time enjoy these new designs based around the defeat from evil bosses in my "Game-Over" series, and imagine yourself and your excited sweaty hands in owning one! :D

Progress update on New A1 Piece

Hello hello! More work and more work! I've continued progress on my ambitious on-going project "Conversing" in which I'm drawing all types of bizarre drawings and characters in massive orgies of conversation and chaos!

(See the first piece, the A0 mammoth "A Dinosaur's Conversation" - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGsXTMfUzrmDXv5HM8iGpMEEtWwTJFVFjDFTB25iaUrIauJs0_svd282AVEhFIyHFbgZqM9yq8YyC-drJZpl0JI0gFaCuN1SkwR9XV-_ZjTxM-SHHJ1usxf2edrW8oxfZy3WHLDPQZPfho/s1600-h/Dinosaurtalk.jpg )

So I'm about a quarter the way through the second edition to this series...they do take some time, optimistically aiming to have it finished this week, but in the mean time here are some pics I took of it, obviously they aren't hugely high res due to not being scans...the error of working large scale, but hopefully gives you an idea of how it's shaping and the madness to come!

Cheers!

TehBus Food Blog Header



I've just completed this quickly for http://www.tehbus.com/ an awesome blog on different places to eat in london! It won't be up for a while as the blog re-design will take a while, but you should check it out now anyway for all the useful tips on where to eat! It's great!

Anyway here is some more what I guess could be described as cute murray art, from now on we shall call it: Murr-ute............maybe not!

Guess who's back...




That's right, after a long suspenseful wait, Toastie-O is returning!! This cover is for the Comic landscape project currently happening in solihull, birmingham for kids aged 9-14! The program is combining comics and illustrative narrative with education (wish I was back in school!) They're wanting comic book covers for the kids to then create their own stories based on the covers on the inside- this is when I hatched a plan! I'm currently negotiating that I want to receive all the stories based on this toastie-o cover from the kids, and that the best one, I shall pick and illustrate into the second issue of Toastie-O! How could this not be fun, plus some youngster will have his credentials on my work! Regardless though, Toastie-O is on the return, crumb-tastic! Enjoy this teasing cover for now!

For those who don't know who toastie-o is (where've you been?) you can buy the first issue at my etsy and find out about all his adventures in the fight against Marmitron, the evil robot who puts the yeast in yeast extract!! Only 12 left though of this edition...!!
