Monkey Magic!

Here's a sneaky peak at my new T shirt design that is in the works right now. Well, less of a sneaky peak and more full frontal nudity. The design is my interpretation of the old 'hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil' monkeys. Except in my version the poor monkey is having his ability to hear, see and speak abused by the little red fellow there with the horns. Evil, as well as being a fantastic life-choice, is also a reference to where I work in 'Evil From the Needle'.

Shirts will be available in white through a range of sizes from 'weasely crack head' to 'jabba and all the hutts'.

Anyone wishing to be kept in the loop as to when these things are going to become available can register their interest by mailing fortressofassassins at live dot com or contacting me on my face.

Book or on this here blog right here that you are seeing the sights of which I am showing you.

Shirts will be £20 and available from the shop very soon. I'll also take animal skulls and japanese monster toys in payment.

Scotland the Brave.

So another convention is happening at which i shall be pimping my hideous wares. On the 26th and 27th of March, the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh will be playing host to the first annual Scottish Tattoo Convention, where Scots will flock from miles around to rejoice in the wonders of tattooing and, I am led to believe; to exchange their corn. I'm not too bothered about the tattoo stuff but am VERY EXCITED with becoming fully aware of how and why my Hebridian brethren converge upon Edinburgh to loose themselves of grain and, in what manner of wonderment they are reciprocated.

After solving the mysteries of the corn, I am sure I will wish to celebrate by putting some wicked rad tat zaps on peeps. If you are a peep and would like to get one of these things what I do, then get in touch either via this blog or by sending magic letters to - fortressofassassins at live.com

printy printy print prints.

This will be the first in a set of three A3 prints I will be making. Each print will be limited to a number of 20 and will be hand numbered and signed by yours truly (me). The one pictured here is titled 'Tex Encounters the Spectre of Death At the Edge Of Locust Woods'.

They'll be going for £20 each, or £50 for the set.

Just to make things a little more personal, I will, if you like, customise the prints at no extra charge! This customisation may, amongst other things, include me using glitter, markers, paint and various fluids squeezed from small mammals to decorate in whatever fashion I deem suitably AWESOME. 

I will be posting the other two prints in the series over the next day or so. 

Interested parties please get in touch via this blog or alternatively by sending an email to - fortressofassassins at live dot com.

This painting is a long overdue watercolour piece for a swap with Cardiff's finest, Ash Davies. I've had a fair few false starts on this one as I really don't think my painting skills are anywhere near on par with his. Sorry dude, I gave it my best shot.  Here's what you're getting...

Deutschland Uber Alles

This weekend, myself and Anthony Dickinson and Lain Freefall will be representing Evil From the Needle at this years Berlin Tattoo Convention. In Berlin. In Germany. Never been before, but have heard many great things about the city so am fairly excited to be going. I am preparing a few designs which I'll be up for doing at the convention, but of course if anyone is interested in getting tattooed please get in touch with your ideas.

Might even have some new t shirts available by then too....

Greetings, stranger...

So...HI!

Welcome to my new blog and all that. This is where I will be doing my best to keep anyone that may be interested in my work, up to date with the various things what are born from me brain meats.

Ready yourself for horrible tales of horrifying, mysterious mystery and peel your eyes right back off your face in preparation for all manner of visual stuff.
