Xmas come early



I am not a big fan of celebrating Xmas early, a week before is plenty of time to get the decorations up. However I don't like the idea of the last minute dash so it's good to get the preparations done early. With this in mind I have collaborated with the brilliant Jenny Bowers to create this Xmas stocking, available now on my shop.

Herb Lester


A busy day at the studio finishing off lot's of bits and bobs and generally feeling full of cold.
Here is a cover I produced through my design Studio New Future Graphic. It is for a new map of Clandestine London for Herb Lester Associates, available on their site...

Fireworks



As party of my community design project (it's either this or clip art fudged together on a PC!) I have designed the local Fireworks display poster. Not screen printed this time unfortunately.

Keeping it local


I designed the local Fete poster, which is a nice two colour screen print. It's nice to use old media for traditional events, now if I can just get my hands on some of that woodblock type rumoured to be withing spitting distance of my studio... and it goes without saying if you live in the area, pop along and you can have one.

One of my last Autumn prints is up for auction at The 100 Project in aid of The Princes Drawing school. They are aiming to send 100 kids from the east end to school, so a good cause.

New Show





I am just gearing up to install a new mini show at an agency in London this week. I have dipped into my many (Zap) sketch books to create a wall of images. Since I found the french Zap Books, I have used no other for recording ideas.

New alphabet



I created a new alphabet for a prospective client last year... needless to say it didn't happen. A year later I am picking it back up to complement the other (self initiated) book projects I am working on at the moment.

Bath Uni workshop

I had the pleasure to spend the day at Bath Spa uni with amazing screen print artist Kate Gibb. We hosted a day of freestyle screen printing with students, it was a great chance to experiment and get our hands dirty. Bath has a great reputation for talented students as you can see from some of the students work. Can't wait to go back.

The Illustrated Ape




A few years ago, when I used to work in publishing I used to art-direct issues of The Illustrated Ape. I found these early flat plans for the 1976 issue, which if you ever saw it would corellate quite well to the finished magazine. The Ape is on hold for the time being but I hope to return one day and create one more mega issue.

Yesterdays Cat


A new print coming soon to the shop - and probably part of a new exhibition called "Yesterday's Tomorrow is Today", my first exhibition where I live in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire. More details soon...
