This happened,

Hi guys it's been a while. Picture making has kind of taken a backfooting in my new role as Digital Media Tech at UCF. Which pays the bills.

I love drawing but it was making me have to decide between rent and food.

I will always keep this up. It leaves a gap when I don't do it and being surrounded by super creative students all day long does in fact keep me hungry and poised for exciting pencil action as soon as possible

I wrote a book. there were budgies involved. I dressed in gold paper and doodles and assaulted several publishers with it.

Anybody who fancies a look over, I can send them a PDF version for joyous appraisal

Please email me callygibsonillustration@hotmail.co.uk and you get a little digital copy.

If by any fluke, yopu are the publishers i sent it too, please think of my little face all lit up with joy should you wish to publish.

Been a while? Muchly!

I have been with finger in pie for much of the previuos coupla months, and due to PGCE yadda yadda yadda and lack of any real money, consdiered jacking in Illustraion more times than I'd care to reveal here.
Happily (i hope someone agrees) I haven't yet, and have been scribbling away happy for a few days trying to make a pelican look 'folk' as opposed to'metal'.
No, you neither?

Anyway here are some scribbles...
it's coming up, come up coming up...it's here?

i'm working on some off the wall fairytales at the mo, and they'll be up here soon as dammit, but heres a glimpse at next month's Scarlet, Jan's line drawing for anti stress visiting massages and a recipe for the best damn cheese cake i've ever eaten. If you have a sweet-toothed intended who won't usually give you a second look, this recipe will deliver payday. Way better than the massage.

I like owls, but I won't wear feathers...

This is what I mean by an Owl costume folks!

I'm going to publish a wish list that will bore the crap out of anyone who doesn't like their clothing girlie, owlie and cool.
