About Me

Hi, my name is Shetland, you may recognise me from such drunken shambles as 'how many days has this been on my forehead?' and 'things you shouldn't do with absinth', this space is some kind of pinboard for my random drawings, deluded jam- and haddock-infested rants and such likes. If you'd like to obtain some ink that's had nasty things happen to it (being sucked up a nib and put on paper is only the start of its troubles) send me a message and I'll see what I can do.


Other news: If you too have orang-utang paralysing amounts of caffeine in your system, you can have a look at my shiny shiny website, which has a gallery of finished work and an art blog of work-in-progress stuff and sketchbook pages. Click the button!

If even that won't satisfy you, some older work is pinned up on my livejournal , including advice on how not to sever arteries while making lino prints, and the slightly sticky deviantart , which mostly involves finished work.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet some aliens. or a talking wildebeest, that would be a change, I'd be walking down the street and somebody would go 'shetland!' and I'd look round and there'd be this rangy wildebeest askin me 'have you seen any waterin holes round here?', my first reaction would be 'why am I still not wearin trousers' but then I'd realise that this wildebeest must be a bit lost, I get hold of a map and point out his error, but then to console the kid we'd spend the afternoon drinkin some budget gin. now me, gin brings me out in a rash, but it gives wildebeest tremendous psychic powers, you haven't lived till you've seen a wildebeest spin the universe with its brain. dunno what that has to do with too much, but gilbert the wildebeest is back in Africa and I've got the rash and a dizzy hangover. so let that be a lesson to ye.
