RED Liquorice & Allsorts

2013, Yes I am very Late. I am Very Sorry. As Mushroom Chomping Mario would say Here we Go!

The Picture above is a Temp image for the cover of RED LIQUORICE & AllSorts a Table Book that I hope will be available this year (SELF FUNDED) featuring New Girly Art, Character Designs and 'Something Else'. Originally the image was my Valentine Card to my friend in America Mona this year whom I love Dearly and can't wait to see this year (YES AMERICA I'M COMING BACK) . And I decided to use it as an announcement of my intentions of finally getting this Book together

I Have Heaps of Updating on the Blog these next few days but something I wanted to Clear UP first THIS LINK to an OLD post it was a JOKE a long time ago and that was not an Obama Dog Toy (it also happens to be my most Googled Item you SADBUNCH OF RACIST IDIOTS) Some of my Great Friends are African American so if you are reading this looking for an Obama Dog Toy GET A LIFE. See You Shortly on the Weekend for Another UPDATE!!

How To Be A Red Licorice Girl

To Be a Red Licorice Model, You Must be 18+, you have to have a Natural Beauty beyond the Makeup.You also need something called 'Charisma & Manners' Leave the Attiude at Home. Thats why I like to meet people first because the Internet is so fake. Many a Time have I met a Model only to reject them for the Book because of their Negativity and lack of Substance! This Book is not going to be Full of Diva's but Women who I Hope You Will Fall In Love With.

Deborah Twiss Joins Red Licorice

This is FANTASIC and BRILLIANT news all at the same time for my art book 'Red Licorice' and I need to share. At the beginning of the year during a trip to Melbourne I went to the movies to see Kick-Ass I not only left Loving that Film, but I also Fell in Love with Character Actress Deborah Twiss. If your thinking Huh, Who?? Was she in Kick-Ass? Yes, she was, despite being presented in a Clark Kent type of manner Deborah played the Student Teacher Crush Mrs Zane for the first too short few moments of that film. Despite this she has made a HUGE impact on not only myself but on every Fanboy (and probably a few Fangirls) that had the honour of being an Audience Member!

Deborah has been on some well known shows, FRINGE and Law & Order to name a few.

I felt it was my duty that day after leaving Kick Ass to get her on board the RED project as she truly belongs in it and I know you agree!

Well Guess What?? I've spoken to her directly and shes just one of the loveliest people you could ever meet the lure of Hollywood has not broken her. So over the next month I will be working closely with Deborah to make sure that the Art will be the best quality it can possibly be and that it shows her Awesome Picturesque Beauty. With it taking Pride of Place in the Book for you all to see and hopefully a good Publisher. Hopefully with Deb on board we can get even more beautiful women on board this project besides the other 40 odd pretty girls we now have!

Again a BIG THANKYOU goes out to Deborah for taking this seriously!

Deadly Angel

I'm in Melbourne Briefly, here for an Exhibit, Which Exhibit? Go follow me on TWITTER to find out. I am doing LIVE updates while staying here.

Heres a new Red Licorice image, and yes its another Angela White. Shes a great Muse, my favorite AND she supplied me with an image to use for RED.This is very WWII era inspired pin up art which I know she is a fan of.

Also remember the ImagineDaily interview I did back in May? Well I was delighted to be asked to supply their new banner this month. Go check it out. The Superheroines name is the 'SCARLET STARLET'

Lastly and Finally Blogger have got a Better Anti-Spammer programme in place, to seek out all those all horrible chinese vitamin scammers. So after two weeks I am lifting the Moderating Comments to an Open Forum again. Ain't that Great?

Red Madi

Another One from the Red Licorice arty stuff. This time the Very Beautifully Cutey Madi.

At the Moment I have some interested parties in the book. I want to aim this for Mass Market Appeal, not to feed the non-existant ego. As someone pointed out 'Dont expect a Borders Distribution'. Well I'm not.
However I want this Far Reaching and able to be Purchased anywhere not just over the Internet is that too much to ask? But if this sees Print I want to be in control of my work. If a 15 year old can get published a 'How to Draw Manga' book then why the hell can't I? You just know they are out there!

In Blog News I've opened up the Sharing a bit more in case people want to publish this on there Facebook, Blog, Twitter or Anything Social Really. As well I've added a 'dislike' to the blogs reactions. If you do Dislike something however I would like an explanation as to why if its not too much trouble.

Toy Story 3 I saw it, and I have to say forget about being part of a trilogy. The Story is Predictable and some of the Direction very Shoddy. My main concern was that while watching was the complete disappearance of BoPeep with only a Passing mention. I doubt very much that Woody would let her go so easily and it seemed a bit hard to swallow. I love Pixar but I am growing ever concerned about their movies. I still cant to this day get passed the first 15 minutes of CARS. ugh awful.

Red Missy

Missy is the Subject for the last leg of the Red Project!

Red Lauren

Well Shes more Blue than Red, but theres a reason this its my first Goth for the book. And we need more variety than just Pink skin now dont we?
Well I've got up to more than 20 Models now willing and able to participate in this book. So far the signs of getting it published are weak as I await discussions with publishers.

However some of these maybe available as prints when they are completed. So all may not be lost. TallyHooooooooo!!!

Red Brooke

Halfway Mark for the Samples, Lets Finish this.

Red Dixie!

Weird, since stating I couldn't find any models just mere days ago for the RL project. I have since been unindated with all manner of Beautiful Girls wanting to participate. So I guess Red Licorice is Officially Back On atleast I will finish the First 10 images for the publishing sample to shop around to the....... you guessed it Book Publishers.
In other news I'm Jobless but you knew that already, Right?

Busy Rethink for Red

I've been doing a rethink on Red Licorice as to the whole set up of it I'm having Difficulty getting the Models I need or they are just Uncommunicative at best. Perhaps because they think all men not just artists are pervertss! Also Perhaps they are Always right!

Sassy Vanessa

The Red Licorice Project has begun, Ten of these all up to start with, then we seek a publisher, then we make more! Here's the First...

Eating with Angela

I've been in Melbourne for a week so far, It went from Kinda Bad to really Awesome during that time. Supanova was a bit busy this year particulary saturday where I tried to talk to people. They really didn't show and most totally flaked. Sunday picked up with the my friend Chris flying over from tassie to checkout the small press artists alley thank goodness he rescued me from infinite Twilighters. Although I did buy some cool stuff but to me professionally Supanova was a Bust.
Talking about 'Bust' my friend Angela White has a great one and not only that but she has a brain to go with it....I know Unbelievable Huh?? I must admit to being somewhat nervous when meeting Miss White. Despite having met other Models and big Hollywood Directors she's feisty and honest which I admire alot. I have used her images and poses for my own art and whenever I get a little stale or short on inspiration I look at some of her poses, curves and funness (is that a word?) and get inspired all over again. I enjoyed our hour long talk over lunch with this pure Mistress of Delight explaining my concept of 'Red Licorice' 100 of the worlds most beautiful women captured in one book and I think she said yes to being in it as well as the covergirl, but I'm not sure as I was hypnotised by her true beauty and funny wit. A rare commodity. Actually I'd hazard to say shes the most interesting aussie girl I've ever had the honour and pleasure to have met and I truly mean that, Thanks Angie!

Pretty Girl

I don't like the Super Thin Model types, So thats why I like to Draw Cheesecake.

Mystery Woman

As you know I like to draw women, particulary ones I have some affiliation with. This one I'll keep to myself!

Gothic Girl

You have to love women that are Emo!

Honey from Red Licorice

More from Red Licorice I can't tell you how cool it would be to do a book like this. Every Girl I draw I've named doesn't that sound totally weird! This latest one is called 'Honey'
