I thought I had previously posted with a rough mockup of a new Thickets shirt, but maybe it was Facebook. The idea is an homage to the classic metal t-shirt, a la Iron Maiden, with an over-the-top, gory skull, blood & fire fest on a black shirt. I won’t give too much away, except for the image here is a rough sketch of one of the elements of the full t-shirt design…

Toren will be showing paintings, drawings, and comic art from the past 14 years of his illustration career including stuff from Call of Cthulhu, Dungeons & Dragons, and his HP Lovecraft-inspired rock band The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. There will be plenty of tentacles and orcs! It all happens at his favourite restaurant – The Wallflower. Try their ‘apple pie’ – it will knock your socks off!

The art comes down at the end of the month.

The Official Pen of Toren Atkinson

Instead of business cards, I hand out pens. This is my third run of pens, each one has a new design. This particular pen by Bic has a large print area (for a pen) so I included a little doodle. Above is more or less how it will look on the pen, below is the drawing, in marker.

World Wildlife Federation of Justice: Vigilantelope version 1

Here’s a sketch I did while waiting in the doctorb’s office (the ‘b’ is for ‘bargain’) of Vigilantelope. It’s fine technically but I find the character boring. I think I need to make him more memorable somehow. I think I’m going to trade in the cape for a v-shaped shield and gruff him up a bit. Any suggestions?
