SLURRY TYPE

1950S HORROR COMICS ARE A CONSTANT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR ME - I HAVE  QUITE A FEW COLLECTIONS AND LOVE THE STORYTELLING AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THE VISUAL STYLE OF THE GENRE. IN TRIBUTE I DID THIS HAND LETTERED TYPE TODAY, WHICH I'VE NAMED 'SLURRY' - I WANTED TO CREATE MY OWN VERSION OF THAT FUN, GROSS FONT STYLE MADE FAMOUS BY THE GENRE, WHILST EVOKING THE KIND OF MEAT SLURRY USED TO MAKE HOTDOGS... I'VE HAD A FEW OTHER IDEAS FOR GROSS FONTS I'D LIKE TO MAKE BUT NEED TO LEARN A BIT MORE ON HOW TO MAKE THEM USEABLE FIRST!

SELF PORTRAIT II ( GROSS COLOURS)

OH YEAH AND HERE IS A 'JUST FOR FUN' COLOUR VERSION WHICH MAKES ME FEEL A BIT ILL IF I LOOK FOR TOO LONG ... I REALLY NEED TO LEAVE THE CONTRAST SETTINGS ALONE, GIVING MYSELF HEADACHES ALL THE TIME !

LAST POST ON THIS YEAR'S SKETCH-O-MATIC!

JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT A WHOPPING 975 PEOPLE TURNED UP TO HAVE THEIR PORTRAIT DONE FOR YEAR 2 OF 'SKETCH-O-MATIC' AT THE CORNERHOUSE, SURPASSING LAST YEAR'S FIGURE OF 954! I LOVE THE LEVEL OF ENTHUSIASM AND PARTICIPATION THAT THIS INNOVATIVE, INCLUSIVE EVENT HAS GENERATED. JAMIE ALUN PRICE HAS PUT UP SOME PHOTOS OF SKETCH-O-MATIC SITTERS AND THEIR PORTRAITS HERE. BELOW IS ANOTHER PORTRAIT I DID OF A COUPLE, THE LADY HAD SUPER CUTE DIMPLES! CAN'T WAIT TO DO THIS AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
