Commission: Rusty Robot Pirate

Hi!

It's been a while since I posted anything but here's a couple of pics of a robotic pirate I was commissioned to make a while back:

 Shiver Me Timbers!

 Ahoy!

For ease of transport and for a bit of variety, I made his hat removable and as a well behaved and mannered pirate bot, he usually removes it when indoors.

 

I will be posting some more bits and bobs soon so keep your eyes peeled for some egg themed goodness!

All the best!

Pirate Event Illustrations

Hi!

Here's a selection of pirate portraits I've been commissioned to draw for a Pirate Activity Day at Waterstones Dundee:

William Kidd

 Edward Teach aka Blackbeard

 Bartholomew Roberts aka Black Bart

 Anne Bonny

 Sir Henry Morgan

Ching Shih

All are based on real historical characters and it was great fun to draw such an array of villainous scallywags! Most folks will have heard of the first five but the sixth, Ching Shih may not be as well known but she was possibly the most successful pirate to ever have lived (look her up HERE to find out more!)

The event is on from 10am this morning and runs till 6pm so if you are in Dundee, head along and join in the fun!

All the best.

Set Sail For Adventure!

All the best!

Pirates at Waterstones George Street Edinburgh

Hi!

Just a quick update to show a poster I've done for Waterstones in George Street in Edinburgh:

I have also drawn up a veritable plethora of Pirates for the kiddies to colour in on the day and Calum Lykan from the Scottish Storytelling Centre will be in store to tell tales of a swashbuckling nature too!

Speaking of which, heres a quick pic of Calum himself in pirate guise!

 Dastardly Pirate Type

If you happen to be in Edinburgh on the 8th of June, please feel free to nip in and listen in and even snag yourself a pic!

All the best!

Pirate Bunnies!

Hi!

I am currently at my parents and have unearthed some paintings I did a couple of years ago in the form of a pair of pirate bunny rabbits!

Captain Morgan Bunn

Gunners Mate Stibbins

I am putting the originals on Etsy and can be found HERE so if you fancy your own pirate bunny illustration nip over and have a look! If theres enough interest I am planning on painting up a whole load more!

All the best!

Tiny Rusty Pirate!

Hi!

Heres a couple of pictures of a sculpt I produced for a competition at work. The brief was that you had a space 40mm high by 50mm wide and 22mm deep. You were given two cocktail sticks and a wooden paint stirrer and one more material of your choice.

After a bit of a ponder I made this little fellow:

Tiny Rusty Pirate!

Standing under 40mm tall and made from procreate putty the Tiny Rusty Pirate will be getting added to a display in the model making department within the next couple of weeks!

Heres a closeup of the little bird. Hes just under 10mm tall and was lots of fun to make!

Pretty Polly!

All the best!
