the artchive

I've been digging through my art archives today. I had the strange idea that I would like to do a longer term retrospective, realised I couldn't because my hard drive with all my ancient scans on it is back at my own house, and then realised that I didn't need scans - I'm staying with my parents! All the originals are here!

Well, my friends. I found some weird shit. (Some very, very sad shit as well.) Not all of it was art, although I do now have art examples going back to 2010 - and it's very obvious that some of my shaky early digital work is because, well, I was shaky on the computer! Compare my physical-media 2013 Great and Terrible art to my 2014 digital-media Padme and Anakin art and, well.

Anyway, without further ado, a list of the Weird ShitTM:

• An AQA qualification in team working that I picked up somewhere along the way, in 2009


• A letter from my deceased grandmother, which made me cry


• Really good hand-drawn heavy metal posters - I replicated Ozzy and Dio's logos perfectly


• My first ever hand-drawn pornography, from when I was probably about fourteen


• An awful lot of kink art, just. there. 2008-2013 approximately.


• A letter from a teacher telling me to enjoy Oxford, which I missed my grades for by two marks


• Anatomical studies including the phrase 'are heads meant to be bigger than arses?'


• Some really, really disturbing poems about how humanity is doomed to die and we should hurry up about it


• Stupendously good character designs


• Old gender thoughts


• Poetry indicating I have always been tired
