GalactiCats Getting Emotional

As part of my course at college we did sessions in Digital Artwork (which were so basic, I've taught myself most of what I know) and for one of my projects I created a short storybook called 'SpaceKid Kenji' of which you've seen one of my illustrations for it already. (1st Post guys, think back!). I think I'll recreate a digital version of that book for my blog sometime, it was really cool and I still have all the illustrations as jpgs haha.

Anyways, as part of my concept, Kenji would travel through space with his pet GalactiCat, Cosmo. Basically GalactiCats are the coolest pet because they come in a range of bright colours and they talk and get drunk. Oh and they have really awesome tails haha. And I liked drawing them a lot, they've a simple but fun design.

So I was looking at my MySpace page the other day thinking how bored I was of having Pokémon as my background (*ahem* yes, Pokémon) that I thought 'hmm, what can I do that will be equally as cool' (*ahem* yes, cool, Pokémon are cool). Anyways so I remembered my GalactiCats and I thought yeahhhhh!! So I came up with these simple lil' illustrations of all types of GalactiCat expressions. Maybe they're not so far from Pokémon after all...

You can see how they look on my page here. Which one would YOU have as your sidekick/pet? :P You can see another illustration of Cosmo in my MySpace pics if you're desperate for more GalactiCat action!

And by the way - when will they release the TV series of Pokémon on DVD in this country GODDAMNIT!!!! (That's what the orange one is thinking, blatantly).

First Voyage Into WabbiWorld

Well here it is!
The Wabbit's first ever post on his first ever blog.

Not sure how well this is going to turn out, but I'm thinking what the hey, I may as well give it a go. Hopefully I can get a few people interested in what I do, whether it be the cute boys I draw or the clothes I design - who knows? I certainly don't!

I just want to thank Patrick Fillion with his regularly updated and brilliant Boytoons Magazine blog for showing me how successful a blog can be, and for introducing me to the idea in the first place! It was seeing Humbug's laidback but fun approach to his ace blog The Humplex that gave me the kick up the ass I needed to start my own. So let's hope I can enjoy keeping a blog as much as I do reading other peoples!

For my first post I thought it fitting to introduce you to my favourite character to draw, Kenji Baxtor, here seen wearing his SpaceKid Disco outfit. I can't think of a single other fella who I've drawn as much as Kenji, he's probably my longest running 'invention' though he's definately more like my best mate now; what can I say - I love him! He's always very cheeky, always very cute, and every now and then he can be a right dirty little bitch. I hope you grow to love him too, I'm sure he'll make numerous appearances (should this blog last long enough!). Oh, and just so there's no dispute, Kenji Baxtor is ABOVE 18 YEARS OF AGE!!! Haha!!
