Traumatron prints at the Twin Peaks UK Festival 2011

You heard correctly, Peaks Freaks! My damn fine Lynch inspired work will be exhibited at the forthcoming Twin Peaks UK festival held at Riverside Studios on the 26th November 2011.

I’ll be showing both versions of the Fire Walk With Me alternative movie poster – “Red Room” and the prize winning “Laura Don’t Go There”. A3 prints will be available, a limited run of 25 in each design, signed and numbered.

Also, my brand new Twin Peaks Doppelganger series, based on the denizens of the Black Lodge make their debut appearance as a set of four art cards, packaged in a hand finished envelope with a quote from the show. I expect to have 15 sets on sale at the festival.

…I may have other surprises on the way too.

Traumatron posters are bigger and better!

Hi there!

I’ve got some good news for you – my entire catalog of posters are now available on Etsy, and they’re bigger and better than before. All posters now weigh in A2 dimensions, twice as large as they previously were, and printed on matte paper with UV resistant inks, so they’ll stay vibrant for years to come.

There’s some new work in there too, including a Batman Returns & a Jurassic Park Alt movie posters and my prize winning Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With me design.

That’s not all – you can save 25% if you purchase two of my posters at once – keep ’em peeled for the offer in my Etsy shop.

A Wonderful Awful Update

What monsters will you make?

Ahoy!

You might very well recall at the beginning of the year, I asked you to help me raise some money for MND Scotland, the charity who are helping sufferers of Motor Neurone Disease up north, in memory of Bill – my Wife’s grandfather, who we lost over Christmas time as a result of being afflicted with this illness.

Well, we were off to a roaring start when I offered you all the chance to win a set of my famous monster nesting dolls by very kindly donating to the cause with a pledge of any size in order to help the charity and be in with a chance of winning a special set of monsters designed by you, created by me, to turn something horrible into something wonderful. The current pledges toal £248, so we still have a long way to go to reach the target of £1000 and then a winner can then be chosen!

So, if you haven’t very kindly done so already, please click here head over to my justgiving page to make a donation and get involved with my wonderful awful idea.

Oh, and if you’ve already given a donation:

Thankyou so much!

You can grab one now by clicking here to head to my Etsy Store to have and hold a little bit of Furyon history. Your print will come signed and very likley  come with a cheeky little message too. I just don’t know.

Oh – See those buttons, below? give ’em a good poking, eh?

Spread the word about MND – grab a wonderful awful poster!

Hi there folks.
Since my last post, we’ve raised over £200 and are well on our way to meeting the target of £1000. There’s a still a fair way to go, so I thought another good way to get the word out about this fundraising project would be to grab the poster below, print it out, and stick it up in your canteen at work, or in the window of your shop, or wherever people will see it. Please be sure to get permission to print and display, of course!

A Wonderful Awful Idea to help MND Scotland

Over Christmas, we lost Bill, my wife Nicola and my sister in law Jenny’s Grandad to MND. We want to help the sufferers and families and carers of people with this illness as much as we can.

I make monster nesting dolls. And what I want to do is make a very special set of monsters for one very generous person who takes part in donating to MND Scotland who do great work helping people with MND. It doesn’t matter if its 50p or £50, as long as you’ve helped in whatever way you can to raise some money for this Charity, I’ll put your name into a very big hat and one of you will win a very special set of dolls made to your specification. I was going to auction the dolls, but that excludes too many of you, and by doing it like a raffle via justgiving, we can start donating and helping the charity straight away. So: have a think about what kind monsters you’d like me to make you and make a donation on my justgiving page and follow me on twitter to keep up with the project and find out if you’ve won!

I really want to turn my horrible monsters into something wonderful, so please help me if you can!

Ok, so right now: help me get this off the ground and tell all your friends and family about this, “like” this video, retweet it and share the info on facebook or email or at work or whatever – Let’s get as many of you guys involved as possible.

The Faun – “Take My Hand”

You might recall I’ve been working on and off on a Pan’s Labyrinth inspired piece, but it never really came to fruition as I explored how to use custom brushes and making the switch from CS4 to CS5 and all the possibilities that that brings. Well, this one happened quite by accident. I was meant to be drawing something totally different, when inspiration struck and a monster became a Faun. You’ll notice this isn’t a direct interpretation of Guillermo Del Toro’s movie Faun (or Pan), but rather something more closely resembling the idea of Pan, the old god being linked with images of demons or the devil. There’s also kind of an unintentional 80’s animated movie feel to this too. Probably something to do with fact my Faun goes to the same hairdresser as Toyah Wilcox, eh?

The piece is called “Take My Hand” & you can order prints directly from me – traumatron@gmail.com
