I was playing with some styles I like and got focused on making this the other night. I was finishing up and my cat started loudly meowing at me. I realised I had indeed forgotten to feed her.

Tune next time in for more fun stories of subliminally self-instructive night art.

#art #cat #poster
A pseudo-soviet style poster with block colours and distressed print. In the foreground is an off-black cat silhouette with a light coloured eye. There is red background with a yellow circular shape with cog teeth behind the cat's head. The cat is leaning upward expectantly, with bold grey repeated 'MEOW's staggered down the page, becoming smaller in size towards the bottom. The writing is in a cyrrilic-influenced typeface. There is a small border around the red background with a larger margin at the top, featuring the writing (in the same typeface), 'Your cat is hungry'. The cat's body breaks the border and extends to the edge of the image.

Automaton Creek is out now!

4 musical stories about robots in nature.

I started it 5 years ago, and have finally won the fight against my brain to finish it.

I hope someone out there enjoys it! Thanks!

Scribbles.

#scribble #innerlife #art #cartoon #crushingrealisation
A sketchy cartoon of a little character with a square head. They have large eyes and a look of discontent or withdrawn sadness. There is a faint purple watercolour wash behind the character. The text reads: "All I am to you is scribbles but as far as you know I might have a rich inner life. I don't."

I made some cover art for the instrumental EP I'm releasing next Friday. Each track is a musical story about a different robot in nature.

#robot #music #art #instrumental #automatoncreek #downtempo #ambient
Cover art for a music release. Dark background with a rough-lined sketch of a rusty red robot sitting on the ground. There is a small green plant in front of it. The robot is 'speaking' a single musical note. At the top-right of the image there is the name 'Gosef'. The title, 'Automaton Creek', sits at the bottom center, beneath the robot.

Scissors.
#scissors #ruinedlife #art #overlyspecifichashtags
A crudely-drawn pale figure with a blank expression stands in front of a watercolour wash. There is text in three sections that reads: "My mother told me not to run with scissors." "That is how I died." "...Of shame from losing a scissor race"

Housework
#comic #cartoon #comicstrip #art #creaturesofdisrepute
A comic strip titled "Creatures of Disrepute by Gosef". The art is monochrome and there are 3 small panels. 1/ Gravid examines a toy car and says with a frown "I'm going to stop cleaning my room. Every day there is new mess, and here I am tidying it like some sort of slave." 2/ Randall asks: "But doesn't it make it better for your future self?" Gravid responds, "Fuck that guy. What's he ever done for me?" 3/ Randall: "Well, if you think about it, your past self is the one that left you with this current mess." Gravid responds in annoyance: "Yeah, he's also a dick."

Saturation
#comic #cartoon #comicstrip #art #creaturesofdisrepute
A comic strip titled "Creatures of Disrepute by Gosef". The art is monochrome and there are 4 small panels. 1/ Gravid declares with a smile, "I started putting my thoughts online. I think people will really get a kick out of what I have to say." 2/ Randall (one hand on hip, one flung out to make a point) responds: "Doesn't it bother you that there are so many voices competing for ever-shorter moments of attention from strangers and that, ultimately, every idea you have will have already been articulated by someone else and presented more impressively?" 3/ Gravid, with a slightly deflated blank face: "Uh..." 4/ The final panel appears to have been started but has been agressively scribbled out by the artist.

A weird little ballpoint pen drawing from when I was bored at work, circa 2010.

#oldstuff #art #skull #doodle
A scribbly cartoon ballpoint pen drawing of a stylised skull-like head with large, empty white eyes and a big (non-threatening) smile. The head is almost spherical and the skull contours look painted on. There are some decorative markings on the character's brow.

Stand-up comic
#comic #cartoon #comicstrip #art #creaturesofdisrepute
A comic strip titled "Creatures of Disrepute by Gosef". The art is monochrome and there are 4 small panels. 1/ Gravid, wearing a bow tie, happily exclaims, "I'm going to become an observational stand-up comic!" 2/ Randall (in a single-hand shrug) responds: "But you don't go anywhere or do anything. What could you possibly observe?" 3/ They stare at each other blankly. 4/ Gravid: "Desolation."

To haunt, to hurt.

#comic #cartoon #art #ghost
A single panel cartoon with sketchy art in a watercolour style. Inside a dark house, a small tired-looking character wearing stripy pyjamas and a sleeping cap looks up blankly at a ghost floating above them. The ghost gives off a yellow glow that gently touches the character. The ghost looks unhappy and is saying, "Though, I haunt you incessantly, I take no joy from this."

Epiphany
#comic #cartoon #comicstrip #art #creaturesofdisrepute
A comic strip titled "Creatures of Disrepute by Gosef". The art is monochrome and there are 4 small panels. 1/ Gravid says, "I just learned some new information and had an epiphany about the way I live my life". 2/ Randall (with his finger in the air for gravitas), "Well, be sure to tell everybody on social media, as you're probably the first person to have had said revelation." 3/ Gravid: "It will be done. It is my duty". Randall (hand on heart): "You are a noble soul indeed." 4/ Gravid (vacant smile): "My duty gets me Facebook likes".

Elecution

Yeah, like 'how to take a toaster in the bath.'". 3/ Both straight faces. Beaver - "What?" Skull - "Nothing.". 4/ Close up on skull-creature's face, with his thoughts above - "shitshitshitshitshit".

Randall. He's a weird beavery thing.
#comic #cartoon #sketch #weirdbeaverything
A sketchy digital drawing of a cartoon beavery thing. He is brown and has no neck, with no differentiation between head and torso. His arms hang vertically at his sides. He has large, shiny yellow eyes which are widely open, appearing to be all iris. His nose is a scratchy 'x'. He has a flat mouth with angular downturns at each end with two prominent conjoined teeth hanging over his lower lip, much like a rabbit. There are slightly darker brown pits or marks all over his fur, somewhat like a brown strawberry.

An old doodle from the 90s about happiness.
#comic #cartoon #weirdbeaverything
A sketchy, monochrome cartoon of a beavery-looking creature standing on two legs, facing the onlooker, holding a list on a long sheet of paper. There are three borderless panels. In the first panel, the creature is glaring blanky, saying "I cannot be happy for these reasons". In the second panel, the creature, still holding the list, is distracted, looking upward with delight as pretty butterfly sails past. In the third panel, the creature resumes the blank glare of the first panel, presumably having discounted the events of panel 2.

He thinks he's lost (but he's not really sure).
#comic #cartoon #distraughtlittleguy
A sketchy cartoon illustration of a misshapen little person wearing a red and white striped shirt. He looks distraught, with his hands on his head, and his mouth wide open. He is wailing "I think I'm lost but I'm not really sure".
