A terrifyingly superior cover of my song Catastrophe by Dan Lyth and David Moyes (The Scottish Enlightenment).

Acoustic effort in early form.

Sideshow

Crayola Warrior

Cartoons and too much Photoshopping collide.

Bevington

A comic icon is caught short…

The One and Only Kome: Chapter Two

More partially-shrouded honesty.

Flight of Fancy

An early idea for some album cover art, and a much more final solution (below).

Amped Up

From a Moojuice Records promo pack. All allusions to Orange Amps are completely intentional.

The Brave Show

Imagined artwork for a real song – The Brave Show (Demo). The image makes me think of The Beatles worst day out ever, but I can live with that!

Caledonia

They say you get more patriotic the longer you’re away. Well, judging by the fact I just painted a picture of a sheep dog when I could have been eating tangerines, that’s true. The words alongside the dug are from a poem by Burns. If you could read them, they would say:

The fell Harpy-raven took wing from the north,
The scourge of the seas, and the dread of the shore;
The wild Scandinavian boar issued forth
To wanton in carnage and wallow in gore:
O’er countries and kingdoms their fury prevail’d,
No arts could appease them, no arms could repel;
But brave Caledonia in vain they assail’d,
As Largs well can witness, and Loncartie tell.

Ruff ruff!
