Geeky freaky

Updated: Mar 7, 2020

It really is about time I actually posted stuff about what I am doing currently. I don’t usually post about the work that I am doing since I am usually too busy doing it. So now I have stopped being too busy working so that I might post about what I’m doing instead of doing it. Feel free to ask questions.

So, what am I doing.Well. among other projects I am working for a US publisher on a series of creepy freaky books. That’s not what they are called but I have no idea how much I am allowed to say pre-publication so I’ll remain enigmatic.


Shown here are the pencil roughs and the final ink versions.


This project is proving a particular favourite of mine. The freedom of the briefs allow my inner geek (some might say that it’s not very `inner’) to run wild. There are of course more illustrations in the books than I am showing here, otherwise they would be stupidly short books but trust me, my inner geek has stripped naked, screamed pathetically and run head-on into the full potential of this project.

Happy days.

After much twerking, puffing and shenanigans I have made a new website. There is probably stuff I should tell you but I'll have to leave...

Really enjoyed reading this! Thanks for sharing such valuable insights. Shoe Daddy’s shoe washing bag is useful for laundry days, while a shoe bag for the washing machine, a shoe washing machine bag, and a mesh bag for washing shoes help protect footwear.

Great article! I recently noticed the Breyers Leather Jacket while browsing different streetwear styles. The design caught my attention, and it was interesting to learn more about this type of fashion. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I found the information about best mouth tape for snoring very useful, especially the points about comfort and breathability. It’s helpful to understand why a breathable mouth tape for snoring may be a better option for some people. Great article

As someone who follows streetwear trends, I also like exploring the Smoke Rise collection at Tops and Bottoms USA, especially Smoke Rise clothing, Smoke Rise hoodies, and other Smoke Rise clothes that blend comfort with modern style.

The “Geeky Freaky” theme really stands out in how it blends playful, slightly offbeat imagery with a strong sense of personality, almost like it’s celebrating the weirdness that makes certain styles or ideas memorable rather than trying to smooth them out. I liked the way the visuals lean into that contrast between geek culture and something more eerie or unexpected, because it gives the whole piece a kind of storytelling edge instead of just being decorative. It also made me think about how creativity often comes from mixing things that don’t obviously belong together and seeing what new meaning comes out of it. I wonder if the intention here was more about nostalgia or just embracing a bold, expressive aesthetic…
