FEAR!!!

"Pollen"

"Pool"

"Pets"

My worst fear would be a combination of all my allergies, Pollen, Chlorine and Cats placed into one situation that I hope will never occur, it would most likely be the end of me.

The set of three prints are for an exhibition on the theme of FEAR at the Amersham Arms (New Cross) on the 7th December and at the Lock Tavern (Camden) on the 15th December curated by both Clinic Collective and Bear Gami.

Window Drawing!

Here's a few photo's from a night at Start the Bus (Bristol) in which myself and Aidan Meighan drew upon thy windows, highly enjoyable evening I'd say!

Rotopol Exhibition!

See pictures from the Secret Service exhibition at Rotopol in Kassel

HERE

Ta Da!! this is my piece below that was featured there. It tells the tale of a motorbike hero that helps to save a small English town from the evil secret police.

I thought it would be interesting to give an insight into how I produce some of my work. Below is the sketchbook work that was used to create the piece, using gouache paints as my main medium.

In Sequence Exhibition

My 'Fatty Beat' screenprint and comic is featured in an Exhibition and is also available to buy at the LCB Store on Brick Lane throughout December . The exhibition is curated by Come Along Fool and it showcases a range of both established and emerging creatives from all over. Check the Sequence Collective site to view more on the project. The wonderful poster shown above was screenprinted especially to promote the show.

247 Magazine

This is a contents page that I collaborated on with Adam Hancher for the November issue of 247 Magazine, a free music and lifestyle magazine.

He was a Hero to us all!!

Here's a few snippets of the piece of work that I've submitted for the Rotopol Exhibition that begin's Monday 23rd November. The actual image is 55cm x 30cm, I'll post some photo's of the show soon, when I get hold of some.

WILD BEASTS

Me and Adam were asked by Bad Sneakers Records to produce a poster for a one-off WILD BEASTS gig in Kendal. Here's how it turned out, really enjoyed working on it! I've also posted a closer look at the Typography I drew with thy pencils for you to have a gander at below.

Anorak Magazine

I thought I would have a bash at doing something for Anorak Magazine's competition last month, a few creatures maxing and relaxing in the hot springs is what I thought would be most appropriate.

SECRET SERVICE

I have kindly been asked along with many other great artist's to be part of a group show at Rotopol in Kassel (Germany) which I'm currently producing some new work for on the theme of 'Secret Service'. I'm really excited to see what everyone comes up with, this awesome poster was produced by Michael Meier for the show.

It's Getting Boring by the Sea

Here's a blog banner that I worked on last week for Music blog, It's getting boring by the sea. David (the blog owner) also put some pleasant words about my work up on there, click the link to check it out.

TIGERS THAT TALKED

This project has been underwraps for a while, but me and Adam Hancher have just finished our second animated short. This time a music video for Leeds based band Tigers that Talked's new single 'Artificial Clouds'. We had a lot of fun working with surreal occurances, and the whole animation side of things was definitely an eye opener (no pun intended) Click HERE to watch it now, hope you enjoy!!

HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!

As it's now only a week until the skulls and pumpkin heads come out to play, I thought that this post would be most appropriate. If you live in Leeds, a night of scary occurances is going down at the Subculture, so slam on those costumes and go out for a dance.

Jon Gomm Album Artwork

Over summer I worked on the front/back cover artwork for Jon Gomm's new album coming out December 7th. Click the link to hear some of Jon's music and if you enjoy, go see him play as he's currently touring all over the UK.

Letters to America

Katie Harkin from the lovely Sky Larkin has been working on a treat of a project that they are taking around America in Zine form on their next tour throughout October. More on the exciting project can be seen HERE. I had the pleasure of producing the front cover of the zine shown above.

Cosmos

I recently produced a double page spread for a Spanish fanzine called Cosmos which has been put together by Julian Smecta and Raquel Issima. This very first issue of the zine is based around ghosts, spectres and apparitions.

Kruger on WHY?

Editorial for the new issue of Kruger Magazine! The article I illustrated contains references to Larry Graham (Curb your Enthusiasm), gay pride and urination in bushes... nice.

TUBELORD with the 500 sleeves

Saw this picture the other day, over on Rocksound's website.

Tubelord with all the 500 unique sleeves created by artists all over the UK, couldn't resist blogging it, Ace photograph, Awesome project!

IDIOTEQUE

New Posters and flyers for clubnight in Leeds called IDIOTEQUE.

Fairytale

I recieved an email last week from Lithuanian artist Nerijus Rimkus asking If I would like to submit a piece of work for his FAIRYTALE project. The caption to go with this image above is:

“The beast tumbled to the ground below the mountain, as his insides spilt onto the icey cold snow, astonished villagers gathered to observe the comotion. Two sneaky onlookers grabbed the magical coins that fell beneath their feet and hid them in their trousers, whilst one bearded fellow sitting with his dog threw another golden coin into the campfire. A cloud of multicoloured dust gathered in the white washed sky above.”

The project's only just begun, but I'm really looking forward to see how the rest of the narrative develop's and unfold's.

The Cut Out's

'The Cut Outs' Is a brand NEW book that Kraffhics Collective are publishing soon! It features some great artists, I decided to create a short narrative shown in four pages using cut out photographs and textures. I'll post some more pics in the coming months when the books finally printed.
