Banned In Singapore

Here is a illustration i did a while back or a magazine called 'kult' IT WAS BANNED BY THE HEALTH PROMOTION BOARD OF SINGAPORE...UNBELIVABLE! (email below names removed of course)

"Hi Andy,

I am glad to let you know that the magazines have finally been printed. Unfortunately, since the Health Promotion Board here in Singapore was supporting this magazine, they wanted to fully remove your artwork from the publication cos they didn't want to show the spots that people get when they are diagnosed with HIV. We were all so annoyed because they are supposed to educate not hide. We're a fan of your work and will show the full version of your work on the website on our own accord.

Apologies for the long wait anyhow. Please send me your address so I can send you some copies nonetheless.

Hope the weekend's well!
Cheers,

Refreshing!!

Sooooo here is my first piece of work that has not been 'Brin and Bent And Minno Marlybone' related in a year. It is actually a character consept for a trucker named 'Sparrow' which i am hoping to include in a short story i will be illustrating and writing later this year.

Where the hell have i been?

Sssssoooo....
I have not posted anything on my blog for a year.......what have i been doing? was i kidnapped? imprisoned?.........no. For the last year i have been working on my first graphic novel written by Ravi Thornton enitled 'The Tale Of Brin And Bent And Minno Marlybone'to be published feb 2012 by Johnathan Cape at Random House. Its is 88 pages of solid pure hard work and ive just finished. Be warned this will be carrying an 'adults only' sticker for sure when released ,I dont think i can post any substantial samples of it just yet, but stay tuned.

Graphic Novel (publishers pitch)

I have just began working with a very talented author called Ravi Thornton, we have just started collaborating on a pitch for our first Graphic Novel entitled 'Child' and below are a couple of the character designs for 'Brin and Bent' (heads only, bodies are still yet to be made). This is a project I have been wanting to do for a few years now and i will be posting much more on this as we go along. Happy days!........................

Prodigy Music Video Comp

Here are various elements and my finished video of my submission for The Prodigy 'Run with the wolves music video' comp sponsored by Dailymotion.com which was largely completed whilst I was ill over xmas and new year but it was one hell of a lot of work much more than I originally intended, this was also an exercise in learning the animation software Anime Studio .enjoy :)

Migrate Mag , Kult Mag and Various other things

Hello all

Ive not been blogging much but I hope for that to change this year. Ive been busy as usual ,here are some samples of what ive been up to below :) enjoy.

First off.........
I was commisioned to create an editorial for a magazine form Johannesburg called Migrate Magazine (http://www.theloerieawards.co.za/) it was for their 'Signs of the Times' issue and here it is (the illustration is on the left and is entitled 'Portrait of a recruitment consultant').



















Secondly.........
I was commisioned to produce a editorial for Kult Magazine (Singapore) (http://www.kult.com.sg/). This was kinda unusual as aswell as appearing in their magazine the work is going to be animated and placed on these Arcade machines they have placed in hotel lobbys around and about Singapore. The editorial itself was based on 'Hiv can lay dormant for years before becoming fully fledged Aids'. (pictured below)

Thirdly........
I was Interviewed for http://www.3dillustrations.blogspot.com/ by the very talented Liz Lomax here: www.3dillustrations.blogspot.com/2009/11/andy-hixon.html and some of my work appeared in this French magazine called 61MP here : http://www.6m1p.free.fr/ .Anyway more posted soon...............................................
