wow, I wish this were an actual stamp. I think the detail would work in its fabour. I'd spend hours trying to pick out everything that was going on.

I've noticed people either like my crazily detailed stuff or my simplest stuff... i don't really know what to do next...
Talking bout detail in stamps: apparently, they have this CRAZY printing process where they can get minute detail in them. My Uni tutor Alan Male (all hail The Male!) works in a photo-realistic way... he was asded to do a stamp as part of a collection of animal illustrators and he painted every single hair on this mouse at A4 size and apparently they all showed up!
Well I was impressed. I keep meaning to comment on your work more. I love them all (and i'm dead envious, although we kinda work in different ways so it's ok) but I want to go into detail on my fav's. I like the scuba diver the best for some reason. Reminds me of a Mervin Peake I saw once... think it was 'im anyway.

O_o Dduuuudddddeeee!!! Mervyn Peake wrote Gormenghast!!! You surely must have heard of that?! If not, go read the books cos they have the weirdest Gothic storyplots and imagey although the pacing is a bit weird. Meanders about a lot... but so does Akira and we all love that don't we? And after you've read the trilogy (Gormenghast, Titus Groan, Titus Alone (actually i've only read Gormenghast but apparently it's by far the best anyways)) you can go and find the t.v. adaptation, that was never quite as good...
... the point of all this being, he did little character and scenery sketches too and I think one was of a mermaid rescuing a diver... but I could be wrong, or it could be someone else... or maybe it was just aaalllllll a dream...

I just got completely sucked into a different world when I read Gormenghast. It was amazing.

but... man-cows don't mmmoooooooooo... they go more like MMMOOOOOOAAAWW (pronouced as if by Arnold Schwazanegger with a mouth full of jacobs crackers). And they also snort and scuff the ground with their foot bricks and butt things with their head-mounted flesh pokers.
