New stuff, and some old stuff to vote on

I have sorely neglected this blog of late, having been concentrating on nomadding (not, I suspect, a word) and doing some writing, but I've just put some old illustrations up at some t-shirt sites if you fancy having a look.

First up, this bit of psychedelic nonsense at Design by Humans, inspired by a diet of sixties lithography, awesomely trashtastic album sleeves, esoterica, an unhealthy dose of Pink Floyd and, especially, an amazing iconic design outfit who went by the wonderfully florid name of Hapsash and the Coloured Coat. Anyway, if that's your bag and you wanna prog out in this tee (I really understand if you don't...) then you can vote for it
here



Next up is a little piece of Victoriana with a creepy undertone, called "Family Time". Also at DBH, you can show your love here



Finally, and on a similarly morbid theme, is this old favourite resubmitted to threadless. Fuelled by Shakespeare and flowers, with an Edwardian slant, you can vote by clickity-clicking on the thumbnail below:





And, to stop this blog being purely a "Vote for ME!!" extravaganza, here are some new character doodles. You can see more on my flickr. As always, any comments, requests, questions or abuse should be directed to thisisjonturner@gmail.com . I will try and remember to reply.









Cheers then, yeah?

When I grow up I want to look like this...

It's true.

I spent my Sunday morning monoprinting. Here are some more:

An introduction

Hello blog, I'm Jon.
Hello Jon, I'm blog. Pleased to meet you.
The pleasure is all mine, Mr blog, I assure you
Ah, you flatter me
And very soon I will scribble all over you! Bwahahahahaha. I will cover you in all kinds of skag, and write nasty things all over your face
No, please god, noooooooooooo!!!
Sorry blog, I have no choice....

-------------

And so it begins. If I can find the requisite strength (it's unlikely, let's be honest), this is where I will be keeping you (yes, you, hypothetical Reader) up to date with all my art and illustration work, hopefully keeping you in the know about places you can buy my stuff, and maybe, just maybe telling you about other exciting people that you really should know about (all the cool kids do).

What this blog will not be is a place where I share with you the details of my sordid sexual escapades, because, well, because I'm not that good at lying. Sorry.

In the meantime, check out my flickr:

Maybe go and vote on these lovely t-shirt designs at threadless, if you're feeling in a particularly beneficient mood








And finally, marvel at this wondrous casket of delights AKA some of my junk:
