Like my art-nonsense and/or commission me on Facebook if you fancy! [link]
Or watch me butcher the classics on YouTube. [link]
I even have a bloody tumblr. [link] Hello, one and all!
I'm Becky (I also go by Beck, Phen or Cozy if you're interested, which you probably aren't)- a bewildered, silly young cartoonist who despises using computers to produce artwork, only to adverise it. I like pens too much, you see. Inky delights. That's me, looking like a grinning blonde mop with my lovely boyfriend.
I enjoy drawing comics. These include:
"Crunch" - romantic comedy/drama set in 1980s Britain with a rock/metal backdrop.
[link] "A Tale of Two Cozys" - ridiculous comic strip about the adventures of the ghost of Cozy Powell and I. Don't ask.
[link] And various other nonsense, mostly autobiographic ramblings.
[link] There's also a lot of drawings of musicians here - I'm only human, I have my weaknesses.
[link] AAAAAND SO MUCH MORE! There's all kinds of crap here for you to possibly enjoy! As well as all this drawing malarky, I sing like a twat, spend a ridiculous amount of time and money record collecting and going out to some good ol' fashioned hard rock/heavy metal/AOR/power pop gigs, kitted out in ridiculous amounts of leather or patched-up denim, dancing and grinning like an idiot throughout the entire set and going backstage to get tonnes of stuff signed. If I come home with a good story and random pointless facts about the band, then it's a good night I say!
I love David Coverdale on a terrifying level and I think Glenn Hughes is an absolute darling. (Hence the webcam picture - Mr. Hughes, you sweetheart. <3)
I also watch Pointless a bit too much. I feel empty without Alexander & Richard dropping some knowledge.
