Deer Ticks

Here is my interpretation of the Deer Ticks a couple of posts below. I still think they look like awful sweets.

Deer Royals

My friend yesterday loaned me this pair of royal Antlers sawn from a deer hunted by his father many years ago. They are absolutely beautiful and provide entertainment by running around with them held up to your forehead pretending to be a stag. I'll have to put a photo of that up on here soon... I borrowed them as I'd like to draw them, It is of course much better to draw something like this from reality than from a photograph.

Deer Tick Females


These are engorged Deer ticks. I had no idea until recently researching Ticks for an illustration I'm working on that they are a member of the Arachnid family. I think these colourful pebbles on the left look absolutely terrifying. It's funny how adding two legs to an insect can instil primal terror in me.

Lovely DoF shot I found on Flickr

Albert Dock

The Albert Dock in Liverpool is an unneccesarily DEAR (oh dear) place to eat / drink / shop / visit. I do like it, I think the buildings are beautiful (though I'd say that photography-wise STANLEY DOCK is more exciting as it is in such a shockingly bad state of disrepair).


I took this shot last night whilst I was on a walk around town. I've been enjoying my camera recently, THIS LINK takes you to my Flickr photostream where you can find the results of the last couple of days are.



Deerhoof



I love Deerhoof. I can't think of anything they have ever done wrong. Image / Artwork / Music all pretty much as perfect as you can get.
