Baby Weave, Hairy Hair and FAN ART!

F & B's regular irregular Monday/Thursday updates fell by the wayside this past couple of weeks but with good honest reason I am telling you. I had other stuff to do, namely doing an anoose load of drawings for an exciting exhibition called "The People You're Not" which is occurring for a whole month from this Saturday at the Cornerhouse, Manchester. It involves a man called Bren O'Callaghan, George Cruikshank, Harry Hill and drunk slebs. What's not to love? Here's the trailer (trailer!)...

The People You're Not - at Cornerhouse from Cornerhouse on Vimeo.

Stick that in your pipe. Whiles you're at it stick these in your pipe, a couple of my drawings for the 3-D toy theatre that's going to be in the exhibition (alongside 5 toy theatres by other artists BTW!), Gazza and the Wineglass. Others in my scene include Keith Floyd, Gram Parsons and Trinny off Trinny and Susannah (slag). You gotsta love that line-up!

Moaty, it's Gazza

Luckyyyyy

Yep yep yo.

Check this shark fillet, F & B got it's first "FAN ART" submissions! Does it count as fan art (comics term people, I read it on the internet) if you asked the person in question to do it for you? Does it count if you asked them to do it while they were sat next to you doing work experience? Sure it counts! The boy genius responsible is Paul Gallagher AKA twitter legend Spooky PG Tips AKA the brains behind Spooky on the Moon AKA the record boss of Kill Yr Records. Pretty sweet inner-head riffs on the current Bone hair pill "storyline". I'm a bit envious of his multi-viewpoints and general vantage flair moves, doesn't he know that F & B is a 2-D no thrills visual predictathon?? What? Who said that! Fair play to you though Paul seriously, lovin' your work...

Especially like the third panel of the second strip, haha! Flesh packing 4 eyebrows, shiiiiine! Well, I'm off now. The official third part to the Flesh & Bone hair pill drama is coming soon, tomorrow maybe? LOL. Fun fact, I'm old enough to be Paul's Dad! If I was one of those cool as 13yr old Dads that is, instead of one of those sad as 28yr old non-Dads. My back hurts?

Bloody long that weren't it.

Snow Joke 2

The drought is over. Flesh & Bone is back, 2011 style!!

This strip was made in 2010 (snoring!) and completed today, when I started it it was snowing. Now it's not snowing but part of me still feels it's relevant. It's snowing somewhere, right?

The title is Snow Joke 2 because I think I already called a previous F&B Snow Joke. I could be wrong.

2011 is the year of the unnecessary explanation, GRAZIA!

WHY!

I was having a low day. No challenge. We're better now. I'm on something of a catch-up mission, Flesh & Bone +1 if you will. Hopefully another instalment coming later tonight. Reasons for absence in recent weeks include house move, consecutive colds and a broken funny bone. Two are pretty much over now and the third is slowly healing.

What a genk you are

The old Monday and Thursday Flesh and Bonelines have taken a weathering this past couple of weeks. I feel like we're back in sync again now, even though I still owe you one...I think. Tune in Monday for more entertainment/disappointment. Below is last Thursday's missed effort, Passport Pictures.

Cheers a mill

Blood's holiday snaps

Looks like he had a wild time! Speaking of wild times, I'm starting this offer. You can buy any Flesh & Bone original strip for £15. This once in a lifetime price includes postage to wherever you are in the world. I know, right! They're mostly on top quality hi-grade paper, we're talking slightly off-white 300gms car-tridge. They measure in at approximately 42cm by 14cm. The ink is black.

Email me on davidmountpleasant at googlemail dot com to take advantage of my better nature and to see if your strip of choice is available. I dare anyone to actually do this, I will love it. Each strip comes with a poem or rap riffing on your name. Can't say fairer than that.
