Emo Girl has an Alter Ego

It seem's that the Emo girl sketch and Illustration had a little secret. I can now exclusively reveal that she in fact has an alter ego, behold the first sketch showing what guise she intends to fight crime in her journey to become a fighter for truth and justice.



I'm sure the full colour illustration will follow soon, so keep a lookout.

Teenage Superhero Postcard

I'll call it a lull but after 2 quiet days I'm back with another Zazzle sale.



Therefore I'd like to thank Eugenia from Portland, Oregon in the US for buying this cute teenage Superhero postcard.

Emo Manga Girls Face Complete

Well I managed to get the below sketch drawn up quicker than I initially anticipated, it probably took me about an hour and a half to complete this illustration.

I think it's turned out great and in about 10 minutes it'll be uploaded to http://www.istockphoto.com/file_search.php?action=file&lightboxID=2605164 then tomorrow I'll put her onto a number of products ready for sale at my zazzle store http://www.zazzle.co.uk/markmurphycreative*

Cute Emo Manga-ish Character Sketch

Another day brings another character sketch, and you guessed it that in turn brings another Murphy sneak peek.

I sketched this late last night, well technically it was early this morning at around 1am, I was actually just doing some eyes but just kept going. I think I've got loads of scope with this cute emo-ish girl and love the manga twist she has.

I'll keep you posted on when I've had a chance to work her up into an adorable vector illustration.

Last of my Canvas Paintings

I seem to be spoiling you today with all of these posts.

This is the last of the acrylic canvas paintings I've produced and this is actually the first one I did about 2 years ago, it'as also my biggest painting at 100cm x 150mm.

Once again it's got that 60's retro slant to it and is a bit of a homage to sixties photography, Biba, Mary Quant and the classic 5 point bob.

New Character Designs Coming Soon

I started working on some new character designs last week and although I haven't worked them up yet I thought I'd give you your 2nd sneek peak of the day.

The first will become some sort of Superhero and the 2nd is likely to become some sort of Gothic vamp.

They'll be popping up sometime this week on both my i-stock portfolio http://www.istockphoto.com/file_search.php?action=file&lightboxID=2605164

and my Zazzle store http://www.zazzle.co.uk/markmurphycreative

Headphone Girl Canvas Painting

Hot on the heels of the Twiggy painting below comes this new 'Headphone Girl' canvas painting in acrylic. This is actually one of an identical pair and is approximately 70cm x 90cm although they aren't quite finished I though I'd give you all a sneak peek.

The image is actually based on an illustration I did in late 2009 which you can buy on various products over at my zazzle store, this link will take you there. http://www.zazzle.co.uk/markmurphycreative/headphone+girl+posters#products

My 1960's Twiggy Inspired Paintings

I'm slowly starting to publish posts to the blog about things other than Zazzle sales.

That been said I'd like to share these Black and White sixties style canvas paintings with you, as you can probably tell they are inspired by the iconic sixties british model Twiggy.

They currently hang across a large wall above one of the sofa's in my lounge and are 60cm x 75cm in size and painted with acrylic paint.

I got the image onto the canvas using the age old grid method, basically drawing a grid over a print out of the image and transferring the grid to the canvas. Saying that with the more recent paintings I've done (I'll post those later) I managed to get hold of an old overhead projector from the school that my partner teaches at and simply printed the image onto a transparency and projected it onto the canvas.







I also sell my original canvases and can produce them in smaller and larger sizes on request, so if anyone is interested in buying one just let me know. Additionally if you have a bespoke image in mind I'm happy to take on commissions.
