end of the world #127 elwood (a one time come back christmas special)

Another day, another empty desk and a friend moved on. 


I'm not going to go into the story here because now we know clients are trawling our things i'm not going to give them the satisfaction.


The Elwood has gone, who ever gets in there first and employs her will have stolen one of the best assets and friends we had (and still have).


SO this is a one time beyond the end of the end of the world special for the elwood, the woodshername, the Emma Wood.


Gin, soon

the end of the world number one hundred and twenty five, the end

Right, so it's time to put this thing to bed for the minute. In the 160 (230 real days) working days since this blog has started, thanks to your generous involvement, I have accrued:
1190 visitors across 4 continents, 16 countries, in 120 cities, using 4 browsers and 4 mobile operating systems.
Thank you for taking time out of your days to take a look at my rambling and delusional outpourings. I've enjoyed doing it and I hope you've enjoyed reading it.

end of the world #125 squished

just like a bit of chewing gum on the pavement of the universe

end of the world #124 lack of charge

italian collection number two.
doodle whilst at the baptistry in pisa.

i wish there were more tech based cults, where are the irrational beliefs that the world is actually a solid state chip with organic carbon based logic circuits?

Imagine if we could charge the earth and get it back to normal.

Ok so maybe the ramp up to agency levels of caffeine are having a bit of an effect after two weeks detox.

end of the world #123 David. The italian vactaion series

Hola everybody.
Back from holiday and with some hand drawn ends of the world from the time away.

I think there's enough for a week strong italian collection.

Just the pen and the sketchbook i had at the time.


SO here is the first. scawled in florence sitting with an aqua minerale looking at the statue of the man himself.

the world will be safe for the next couple of weeks

I'm off on holiday, my first proper one of the year. So as a consequence there shall be no ends of the world until I get back. I'll try and draw some whilst I'm away so that there should be a glut when I get back.
See you in a couple of weeks

end of the world #122 human error

end of the world #121 An empty desk

a dear friend has left. I'm really happy he's out and getting a summer for himself and his clan, no one deserves it more. still the empty desk is the end of a world.

Raise your glasses and do the higgle (or the jack depending on personal preference)

To the Moz man, for everything, thank you

end of the world #118 guest post from kelvin and neil

guest post from my old bosses neil and kelv, who very much took to heart my anti dr. stance.

I think as an end to my life this would sting doubly bad knowing dr who ended me in some shoddily script written way

end of the world #117 population fail

we need a transplant....statx

ends of the world #115 and 116

I recommend clicking on this one to see the image full size as I've crammed in two ends of the world to make up for more slovenly behaviour at the end of last week.

#115 is end of the world by sequel. What was an awesome stand alone film was ruined by a trilogy being grafted onto it. That really is the end of the world

#116 Is the prospective end of the world for the tories and for labour. The lib dems are in a stunning position to bargain for proportional representation  at the moment. I'm still trying to find a model of proportional representation that in reality seems any better than first past the post but it might be the end of the labour and tory pockets of support and maybe a fair reflection of the countries voting is on it's way. Either way hard liners both sides must be having some very sleepless nights.

end of the world #114 paint can rattle

does what it says on the can kinda one this morning

end of the world #113....and the doctor totally fails to save the earth

for years doctor who has been my white elephant in the room. Beloved by contemporaries and a cult (how suspicious i became of that word on the back of this program) science fiction show, and my family and friends. TO me it has been ok at points but it has always rubbed me up the wrong way and it took Terry Pratchett to point out what i didn't like about it (in this article here).
THERE IS NO SCIENCE, no even brief nod towards science or even the briefest bit of scientific knowledge, it's tat, for me it's on a par with Avatar and their fucking "unobtainium"

there we go
rant over
x

end of the world #112 re wire or blue wire?

hypothetically now but, if i made bombs i 'd personally rig them both and the only way to diffuse the bomb would to be smack the shit out of it with a hammer.

end of the world #111 motheaten

guest concept from monsieur neil barrie.

end of the world #110 framed

hung over, drawn whilst on the tube train, end of the world this morning.

lots of fun celebrating tho, just didnt help the drawing

end of the world #109 delicacy

"marvellous sir, and for your beautiful lady cephlapod?"

end of the world #108 roadkill

"hold me jack....i'm mowing down planets.....weeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
x

end of the world #107 "what happen's when we fall off the horse?...we get back on the horse and destroy them all"

a good "mad" ( they called him mad, they never should have called him that ) scientist never gives up, he rebuilds his lab, scavenging what he can from the last unwarranted destruction by a caped crusaders, and begins again, the apocalyptic fires of vengeance fueling his mighty intellect...he'd show those heathens.

more and more i m rooting for comic book villains, they have less in the way of super powers and still they create ingenious devices from what they can scrounge (no university grants or trust funds for them), and every time they are beaten they come back stronger, with a new scheme or device they have created. All the hero has to do is stop them.

also a shameless homage to the style of Mike Mignola, but the guy's a genius, i wanted to see if i could get anywhere near as much detail and form just using ink, and no i can't  hmmmm
x

end of the world #105 and the election crap begins

another bunch of politicans, another year, same old bollocks, i wish this was an option sometimes,
also not quite4 sure why i have ended up with a citizen kane kinda feel but i like it.
the hitchcock homage suits this

end of the world #105 stranded

found on a fragment of papyrus behind nostradamus's bed
"a lo the people's of the world shalt be stranded in the lands of others. there shalt be much wailing and nashing of teeth. and the people of the company shalt be effing useless .And this shalt be the first sign.

end of the world #104 the yeti returns

the yeti has returned.
woop woop

end of the world #103 uuuuurf weeeerrrmmms

end of the world #102 desertifiscation

desertification, the whole world like a bad rip off of dune, or mad max
it d be awesome for those who like the sun and post apocalyptic engineering,
now if only i can work out an end of the world with moderately cold temperatures and i'd be sorted

x

end of the world #101 lack of sleep

does the earth sleep? the moon can wait until lunar eclipses to sleep but does the earth, also what would happen if one day humanity just couldn't sleep? The terror of our own existance, or the guilt of our heartless behaviour. They couldn't make sleeping pills fast enough.
imagine if that was the new oil, a global commodity for sleep

a little bit more abstract today, sorry
x

end of the world number 100 (fuck yeah) a major sense of déjà vu

your bank holiday bonus end of the world for yesterday as it try and get back up to daily production.
a little bit of classicism
x

end of the world #094 the fate of the last woman and the subsequent extinction of the species

can you imagine the amount of testosterone there would be floating around. It would be enough to run anyone of sex, even if it was a choice between that and extinction

back to full weeks so therre should be a more plentiful supply of these over the next few weeks

end of the world #093 the end of non hazmat wetsuit surfing

Once the seas have been poisoned, surfing is gunna be a lot more difficult.
This is gunna be extraspecially difficult cos i don't even like wearing gloves when i surf. to this end get involved with SAS

there's a lot of shit i could ramped out today but i went with something not related to clear my mind. Trouble is is that drawing and digital inking on a track pad is even more difficult and so this took me most of the afternoon.
x

end of the world #092 pregnancy

trying to claw back some of the days i've missed due to taking carried over holiday from last year before i lost it which has meant i haven't done a friday or monday in work for quite a while.

end of the world #089 colonialism

whilst certain behaviours go out of fashion on our planet its good to know that claiming land in the name of a ruling body, oppressing the natives and stealing everything from them is alive and well somewhere in the universe

end of the world #088 meltdown

end of the world #087 blackout

so here you go
when cephalopods strike

end of the world #082 the great lent choco riots of 2010

in the year of 2010 all our worst fears came true. in the worst inter gender period of the year, lent, all it took was one foolish misogynistic comment and the chocolate starved females cracked.
great hordes of choco deprived ladies stalked the streets lynching men to the cries of, "who should have given us equal pay when they had the chance?" the bloodshed was horrific. after 24 hours the brown mist rose and the women saw what they had done. they were consumed with a complete lack of guild and enjoyed the relative calm and order until sperm banks were depleted and the they were all fucked (well figuratively)

another day another scanner lack
tomorrow i ll sort out production
