Threadless Design

Please rate my Threadless Tshirt design...

This is for Vladimir to wrestle in front of a camera

...and while we're on the subject of Deers...

9 hours + Deer + Ferns + Acrylic Ink. My fingers ache now so I think it'll have to be time for bed...

Drive Thru

I drew this picture I've entitled 'Drive Thru' last week for a Zine from Leeds for my good friend Jon Owen.

I have also bought a nice photo scanner this week so fingers crossed I'll be freed up a little to add a few more coloured elements to my pictures. Watch this space etc etc...

Boxers

'Boxers'. Drawn as part of my work for The Seal Cub Clubbing Club / Royal Variety album artwork

Tigers in the jungle

The Armadillo were silhouetted against the flowered carpet of the forest.

Some of my favourite animals all in one place. I'm dedicating this one to Grace Boylan for without whom I wouldn't have spent the last 12 hours colouring in tiny little flowers.

Articles, Prose, Lyricism: An arts blog from the keyboard of Nik Glover (worth bookmarking in your internet browser). I'm travelling to Espana in a few hours so will hopefully find some interesting things to photograph that'll end up as drawings next week. Hasta Luego, compadres!

Giant Anteaters and an upside-down Wing Walker. An illustration for an article about 'Wingwalker presents' for Bido Lito Magazine.

A Giant Squid attacking the Mersey Ferry to illustrate an article about Liverpool bar 'The Shipping Forecast' for Bido Lito Magazine.

This morning I have mostly been thinking about Owls and Robins in a tree

Here is a link to read Bido Lito Issue One

Illustration number two and my final for Bido Lito Issue two. I have a few narrative ideas in my head at the moment to develop this series with so watch this space for updates...

The first in a new series of illustrations that I am working on. This is for a creative writing piece that will be published in Bido Lito Magazine Issue 2.

Bido Lito Issue Two (2)

...and here is illustration number two for Bido Lito Issue two. I love this one. Black is the new...

Bido Lito Issue Two

Image number one for Bido Lito Magazine, Issue Two. It's for a feature on a band called By The Sea. This image is loosely based on a Pumpkin Seed Fish.

Here is the illustration of the heart I did in ink for the Radical Liverpool event poster

A Peacock I have drawn inspired by my brochure work for Cheshire Beauty Associates

Here is a poster design I have done for an evening at the Everyword literary festival at the Liverpool Everyman Theatre. The drawing in white is of a human heart.

I drew this picture a couple of days ago as a progression from my Bido Lito! work. I think I am going to use it either as as part of a design submission for a bespoke Red Bull fridge (Weird I know!) or for the first of my Screenadelica gig posters for my exhibition during Liverpool sound city. If I use it for this then I'll probably colour bits of it in in metallic gold ink. Watch this space for developments...

I should also say that I'll be doing some more stuff for Bido Lito! Issue 2 print deadline is the end of May, Issue 1 is out on Monday so I'm pretty excited to see how it all looks.

And finally... I'm doing some video work for the Everyman Everyword festival, more on that when I know myself... Ta Tarrr

Just finished this edition of the Art Valley newsletter for The Bluecoat and The Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse. Of the six newsletters I have done for them it is probably the tidiest yet.

This is a logo design I did last week for a theatre based education program. The brief was to use geometric shapes and bold colours.

...and here is the final image I have done for Bido Lito! The four images illustrate different lines from a short poem. Thank you and goodnight.

Amoebas!

Here is a wallpaper of colourful single cell organisms I have drawn to illustrate a short love story. They look a bit like fruit.

I had decided that I would like to draw a sea monster, then changed my mind and opted for multiple single cell organisms half way through. I think the resulting image is a nice development in terms of technique from the work on the animal heads I did last week. On a separate note I would like to say thanks to everyone who came to the Seal Cub Clubbing Club show at Le Bateau in Liverpool last night. Print deadline for Bido Lito! magazine is tonight so hopefully I'll have my final two images uploaded by then...

More work for Bido Lito! This is a bit of a work in progress really. I have been trying to illustrate Medieval knights in a Tron world. This is the first illustration I have done that is linked to a feature on a wonderful band called Indica Ritual.

...and so I conclude my first Bido Lito feature with an imposing Grizzly Bear!

An image of a deer, a part of my first Bido Lito feature.

I have been illustrating a few features for Bido Lito! magazine. This image of a Bison head is the first. It was just drawn in Indian ink using a 0.018 Faber-Castell TG1.S

Hello World! To start things off here is a painting of Zebra and Zebra Plants that I did for a single cover for the Seal Cub Clubbing Club 'Made of Magic' Single. The fonts used are Interstate and Megapolis.
