Holy Mackerel Check out Hi-Fructose Vol. 13...
Received my copy in the post a week ago... cover features Lori Earley, who not by chance currently has a solo show in London, "Laments and Lullabies" at the Opera gallery. Check out photos of the opening on her Flickr stream. Bloody breathtaking!
"A Muse Among Stars"
Photo pinched from Eric's blog
Also in this issue is the amazing Eric Fortune, who uses acrylic in a rather unconventional manner; lots of washes on paper (from what I gather), here's his blog where he often posts progression shots, it's simply stunning.

New Stuff
This is well over due... while I've been yakking about other stuff I haven't posted any of my own art in a while... so here's some new drawings, I say new, I did them about a month or so ago.
I used two mediums I don't usually combine - pen and CP (coloured pencil - come on, get with the lingo!).
I guess these are inspired by the the female form, tattoo art and, mmm now lets see, desperation? Could be.
"Dahlia's Empty Heart"
"Rose Rage"
Sometimes I have a hard time titling pieces, but I liked that last one especially! Oh and maybe this is where I should mentioned that it's not work-safe? Oops, too late!

Good News For Bunnies
Not art related, but critter related, and my love for animals makes me very happy to hear the following news I received in an email newsletter today from the Dr Hadwen Trust for Humane Research:
"The DHT welcomes news that non-animal methods to replace the 65 year old Draize rabbit test for severe eye irritancy, have finally achieved international acceptance. Thousands of rabbits will now be spared procedures where chemical substances, including for household products and cosmetics, are applied to their eyes. The DHT funded the vital early-stage research work in the 1980s that has now resulted in one of the replacement methods approved."
