Pet Owners

The Lennox Family Cat Role Call

Happy Way Home

I see these two every once in a while on my way home and always makes me smile!

Glory to the cat!

Hey hey!! Here is my first entry on this blog! 

Here is the world on the cat's point of view

Octopets!

Hey Guys,

So we have a quick theme for the remainder of May into start of June. Deadline around June 5th so you have the bank holidays to get those creatives socks on. The Theme is

"Pets"

So anything in and around this theme would be awesome, photography, illustrartion, animation. You name it if you made it post it!!!
Looking forward to seeing the entries and remember a nice price for the winner.

Thanks you,
The Artblog Team!

A huge well done to Elisa Bindi for coming in first place for her Avatar submission for her super cute Alicorn Princess.

The new theme will be released for Mays Theme very shortly. Thank you everyone for their awesome submissions for April.

Artblog Team!

Hey guys! This is my entry for this month! It's me as an Alicorn Princess LOL

Bjorni-boo the Dwarf suffers from gigantism. At the tender age of ten he towers over the average human, and might be the tallest dwarf in history.

Cruisin' in the Oasis

So this is me getting about in the Oasis. It's supposed to be a place where all Avatars can come to muck around and do what they want hence all that stuff going on in the background. Don't believe all those movies where heroes travel at high speeds without a single hair out of place.

Nugtosh

This is my Goblin avatar; Nugtosh. He tames wild ant-eaters.

The quantum consideration of the carrot

My avatar is actually the chicken in the guy's bag. The dude with the carrots is my vehicle. done with procreate app.The carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour. (Wikipedia)Again, thank you Finnbarrr for the title.

NEW THEME-April 2018 "Your Avatar"

Moving swiftly on to April....

There's a new film just out called Ready Player One (I've not seen it yet but have heard pretty good things about it). Here's the link to the trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axf7gHBdgDQ

So this months theme is.... "Your Avatar"

We want you to design your own avatar for visiting the 'Oasis' (like in the trailer). This can be characters that exist already, ones that you want to design yourself or even a mix of the two. 

How would you get around as well (the guy in the film uses the car from 'Back to the Future') you could also create some transport if you wanted, again using pre-existing designs, your own or a mix. Let your mind run riot.

We look forward to seeing some more really exciting entries.

The Deadline for this will be Tuesday the 8th of May

Happy geeking!!

'If You're Out There'

This is a little looping animation I made in Harmony and comped in After Effects. I wanted to try a full rotation on something in Harmony, it's mad jittery, but it was fun all the same. The concept comes from a short film idea I've been working on called 'Time is a Gift' that I haven't really spent enough time working on, of course, of course.

Hope you guys like it anyway (Y)

here's a little quiz you can play with all your friends. If you have any.

A Colony on Europa

Space is spooky :3

In the meantime....in the Future!

A Fox in Space

I love the Fox in the movie :)

Asteroids!

                                                 

The Cosmic Somnambulism of an Unmoored Mind

Thank you Finbarr Martin for the amazing title which I don't really understand.

here's my entry for the space thingie, gouache on moleskine sketchbook

Belka & Strelka

My portrait of Belka and Strelka, the first dogs to return safely from orbit.

They should make spacesuits for hedgehogs, just in-case.

Memories of the Space Age

I've been reading a lot of JG Ballard recently so I was inspired by the theme to do a mock up book cover for his short story collection Memories of the Space Age. Ballard is an interesting and challenging writer. He claimed to have more in common with a surrealist painter like DeChirico than a contemporary novelist, and "Ballardian" is given to mean "dystopian modernity, bleak man-made landscapes and the psychological effects of technological, social or environmental developments."

Although this may all seem a little grim, I'd encourage the viewer not to simply accept the most literal interpretation of this image. Although the subject may have befallen a catastrophe, the liberating possibilities of disaster are a central theme in Ballard's fiction. Perhaps our astronaut is simply dreaming of the gantries and runways of Cape Canaveral in the golden era of the Space Age, and will awaken to a new day, where its lost possibilities can be brought to fruition.

Space Explorer

Planet explorations are a pretty lonely affair for this poor fella.

A bit of a space mech fight.

SPAAAAAAACE!

Hi Boulder artbloggers,

Time to kickstart the Boulder artblog for the year, and in honour of the recent launch of The Falcon Heavy into deep space we thought we'd make the theme about that very thing: Space!  

And like space itself the possibilities for creative exploration are vast. So we've broken it down into sub sections: Vehicles, Aliens, Robots, Planets. Pick one or as many as you like and let your imagination take you to "where no man has gone before!!" (yeah - you can also pay homage to your favourite sci-fi books, films, comics etc). 

We'll run this one until the end of March after which we will all vote on the winner. The winner will receive a special prize. 

Anyone new to the company who hasn't already joined the artblog, and would like to, give me a shout and we'll get you added to the account.

Happy doodlin'

Merry Xmas

Been nice working with everyone during my first few months at Boulder, but I'm looking forward to going into a netflix induced coma over the holidays.

(I did 2 versions cuz I'm not sure which I prefer)

Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays from Santymount

Christmas Card Design

 I thought I'd make the company itself into a character. I also like the idea of a big boulder golem being innocent and wanting to give gifts to the local wildlife despite its exterior

Fish you a Merry Christmas

These seafaring cats appear in my work every now and again (don't know why). Anyway, here they are braving the elements to celebrate xmas.

Christmas Card Competition 2017

Hello people of Boulder,

It's been a while since the last Boulder media artblog competition, but we thought we'd try and end the year on a high by announcing an in-house artblog challenge to design Boulder Media a Christmas card. 

Artwork can be in whatever medium you like; drawn, painted, digital, photograph, sculpture, collage.

Feel free to add a festive greeting to your design If you wish.

The deadline for submissions will be the 13th of December with the winner, runner up and 3rd place entries receiving a prize.

Finally.....

For those of you who haven't joined the Boulder media artblog but would like to please provide Gillian Comerford  or myself with your personnel email address (not your work one). You will need to be a member of the blog so that you can upload your image. 

Our goal for next year is to keep the blog running with a new theme announced  on a  monthly basis.

Thanks for reading and happy drawing!!!

Winner-Theme 2 Gangsters

A huge congratulations to Rachel Wilson who was our last winner for her Tony and the Ducks for our Gangster theme. Was a super submission! You can see more of Rachels beautiful artwork here 
And a big shot out to Arianna and Estrela who came in 2nd and 3rd place

Stay tuned for our next awesome theme!

Some pretty hip gangsters..

Watch out.. they're spreading!

More thugs than gangsters - and they mostly got their arses whoopped - but..

The idea was far more elaborate.. I ran out of time too. I just hope most of the people recognize them!

This repentant gangster jumped to his death, rosary beads in hand. I was going to do a couple more shots for this scene to flesh out the story for this guy, but I ran out of time :P

30s gangster

Thank you for extending the deadline! I made this one yesterday during a 3 hours bus ride 🙂
