Moving House

It is the eve of moving so am all packed up and ready to go..Camden here I come! The Zoo related news to this is I shall be internet-less for a while, so no updates. Fear not, the Zoo continues and I will have an uber upload once the interwebs hit our new house :D

days 55, 56 and 57 better!

starts off slow with some rushed skelton birds, kind of like skelanimals i suppose.was looking at the rubber duckies on my pjs and made a skeleton version.


next up and after a hectic weekend after seeing the room on friday night (freaking hilarious, best worst movie ever made!) then out and about in east london on sat, hense just the ducks to show for it. i had some time on sunday to sketch an animal in the morning and i reverted to my old fave, a capuchen monkey ie: marcel from friends!although this monkey is not so chipper!

so we move onto day 57!

and today was a new week to work on shots, its also move week as come saturday i am camden bound! i am also very very poor atm due to the flat so in order to buy green day's new album, i had to use up my hmv voucher i got for my birthday.only spending i can do is off gift cards doh!

anyho so in honour of hmv which now owes my last £10 (store credit i suppose so their £10 really) i looked into a bit more of the history of 'his master's voice' (thats what hmv stands for dontcha know. mainly the logo as ive always know for some odd reason the dog is called nipper (i got this right on a test hmv set me when i once applied to be an employee (many moons ago, pre-animation time). so in honour of old nipper and his curious expression at the old grammerphone, heres a nice punked up version of nipper :D
anyway back to the packing.......!

Days 52,53 and 54

Not much to tell on these three days.....watched a karate kid review so drew a quick, wax on wax off pose. and a flying pig of course!

next up for day 53, i was inspired by watching the black cauldron ( dark disney film, that disney have pretty much disowned) and drew with gurgi in mind, the dog/ape thing that becomes friends with the lead'kinda cute critter.

lastly, not much time so a sour looking lizard thing for day 54

boooo :( day 40 feeling much more happy and with a new found energy i set off to work and had a much better day, although less time for drawing so heres another JOEY!bit lame this time but also a tortoise to make up for it








so we move onto day 41 and work on a saturday booooooooo!i used the time on the tube to rough out some tortoise ideas i had, clinging onto a car and being dragged along and finalised it after work at bjarni's house and was quite pleased with the result.then we settled down to watch...the human centipede?!wtf was that movie its hilarious and very very silly...watch it!





















next day and back to work again for day 42 of the daily zoo!!!!!!!!had some time in the morning before heading off to work to draw while eating breakfast...guess which cereal i had? :P

then added a winter version of me later int he day while rendering, just cos! like the style bit different to how i normally draw me
