We are all made of Stars

I've been doing some illustrations for work that involve constellations, seven in particular, but these few are the ones that I think came out well today.

Corvus the Crow is  a lesser known constellation from the Southern Hemisphere.

Aries the Ram is very famous, but I had no idea the constellation itself was so sparse.

I think we all know Hercules. The interesting thing about this one is that the visualisations aren't fussy about which way round it goes, it works both ways, with the outstretched leg becoming a club in some versions.

Trains and Pope

Ok so I'm behind schedule with Pope 5, two more pages to draw then the Photoshopping begins. There'll be some visual updates when that happens. Speaking of Mr Pope, there's a lovely review of the comic by Mr Oliver East of Trains are... Mint fame. It comprises of our e-mail conversation, one of which was composed after a few celebratory beverages at a mate's exhibition opening. That's why I rambled so very much. But seriously, Oliver's blog makes great reading and his comics are truly special. Use the link, I'll wait.

In other news, I went to see One Man Star Wars with Amy last night. It was awesome.
