Fat...

Another one for Illustration Friday, this weeks theme is "Fat". This image was produced some years back in 2000 for a small publication over in Australia called Winedark Sea. I'm not sure if that magazine is still running but this was an odd one to say the least.

From what I can remember the story was about this guy that looked after his blind, obese & bedbound wife; it's hazy in the memory, but she used to do ornate artwork on the back of cupboards & hidden furniture when he was out at work. All the while she had been able to see and walk but she had been doing this for years without him knowing! He killed her after finding out... and that was the end of that?!

Well, it's got a fresh airing thanks to theme week.

Monster...

This once mighty dragon has now become a rotting corpse still tainted by the magical energies that slew it. It was commissioned for Ronin Arts, an RPG publisher I have done a small amount of work for recently. I have also posted the image for Illustration Friday, an idea that my girlfriend introduced me to.

Last Friday's illustration was "monster". I thought this was just the ticket.

Welcome....

Hello... you've stumbled across my mumblings & scribbles... lucky you.

My name is not Michael Caine. It's Mark Brooks. I'm a part-time artist living in the UK. When I say part-time, what I mean to say is; I only do artwork when the planets align in such a manner that they deem it's time for me to do some doodling, or when I'm a bit skint and could do with some extra cash.

I've had a fair old chunk of work published in the past, but I've decided to just do artwork as and when I'm happy doing it now. It's given me a chance to get back to doing art for fun rather than profit. I'll draw and if someone wants to buy it, great. If not, no worries.

Well that's a nice little start to things... here's some art.
