Whenever I’m doing rubbish in a pub quiz. I just think atleast I’m cute.

Since Lil Mouse was born, I won’t lie—it’s been a real slog getting back into my artwork and feeling excited about it.

So I’ve been working on a bit of a rebrand. Just a small, low-pressure project to get things moving in the direction I want.

This was one of those commissions that perfectly highlights why I love being a designer.
I was approached by the incredible wrestling tag team from Singapore, @lucha.cbk and @jackchong_, to illustrate their mascots and turn them into merch to promote their new team.

Went into the new Manchester Pop Mart store today and had to queue up as it was rammed inside.
When did vinyl figures become so mainstream? I remember having to go to obscure art shops to purchase mine.

I’ve always wanted to get into mural painting, so I pitched the idea of a Pokémon mural to @celestial__collectables , a local Pokémon card shop. They loved it and even asked their community which Pokémon to feature—Lugia was the winner!

Every Christmas, I create a special design that makes the perfect holiday gift. This year, I’ve designed a limited-edition Simpsons Christmas T-shirt.

Can't wait to officially launch Digital Choas to you! I've just succesfully tested the broadcast setup with @remouse1991 and it went well so we can move onto the next stage of setting a lanch date.

The plan is to get 4 digital artists all creating artwork together while having a creative talk. (If you're one of the artists who have shown an interest I'll be in touch with updates soon).

DC is brought to you by @korpdogsnft on SEI. Watch this space for updates.

The client wanted screen-printed garments for his new brand, so I created a monotone version of the gladiator design to keep it simple. Added a pocket print too. No white ink, but we kept that splash of color.

A fun gladiator illustration turned into a commission for a fitness brand! The client loved the bold, colorful design that breaks away from typical gym wear.

Some states in the Empire have turned to their pit fighters to take on the relentless ice cream horde. While this strategy has proven effective, it seems some of these pit fighters are starting to dream of grandeur—looking to carve out their own legacies. #roman #history

Broke out the #poscapens again to practice a character I’ve designed that I want to use as my signature character. One I can use when I’m stumped on what to draw.

[Russell Mountford @remouse1991]

I was approached by a local barber who was setting up his newly opened barbershop seeking a custom character design to promote their business.

The client was thrilled with the final design, and they’re already considering using it for product labels in the future.

[Russell Mountford @remouse1991]

This was inspired by a story that happened in my life. However, when I was working on this piece I kept wracking my brain on what I could do with it. It was chatting with an artist buddy about how we never just draw for fun. That made me decide to just leave as it is.

My second piece for the Generation 2 @pocketmonstersillustrated project features the forever adorable Jumpluff. Inspired by its Pokédex entry about floating around the world using air currents. #pokemon #pokemonart

Haruka was surrounded, but she’d been in worse situations before. A scoop dove straight for her. “Suffer not the tasty to live!” She screamed as she brought her Naginata down on the creature. It fell beneath her blade with an explosion of cold cream. #samurai #fantasyadventure
