In Progress

Just working on some work for some exhibitions coming up in London and Tokyo... images soon. There is also a great show of friend Kate Gibb and James Brown - details to follow

The Making of...

I completed a day at The Illustration Gallery, in Stroud last Friday as part of their current exhibition. The idea was that each artist would create the artwork in the gallery during the day and it would be hung at the end of that day. The exhibition is growing week by week as each artists adds their work. Here are some images from the day before (screenprinting my basic design) and some of work in progress. More printing pictures can be found on the workshop blog...

Busy, Busy, Busy...

Things have been a bit manic over the last few months, with lots still going on. I a taking part in a few exhibitions and books in the next few months and a few other projects that are on-going. For now here are a few of the illustrations I did for French hypermarket Monoprix, which unfortunately doesn't look like it will be going out after all, but I guess that's what happens sometimes!

This one made it!

This is the one that ended up on Cherry's wall!

The one that didnt make it...

I am just putting together Cherry's new A-Z in a big frame but there is a blank space where the last one was(bad dad!). So I thought I would put an interim piece up while I finish it.She is crazy about birds at the moment, so I reckoned a bird picture would be good... but then decided this one was too dark!!

Just a Scan

Things are very busy at the moment... illustrating and designing a new book for children and a few other jobs that I can'tpost up yet. There is a lot of paper, hanging around the desk, and this pile under the scanner which has created its own layout.

New Alphabet Poster on Etsy

I have just finished a new poster which will be on sale very soon at my etsy shop. It is based on an original I did for my daughter, Cherry. The poster is 70cm x 50cm and designed to fit in standard off the shelf frames. Visit my Etsy Store to buy now!

New A-Z

A while ago I made an A-Z poster for my little one, Cherry, before she was born. She's just turned 1 year old so I though I would recreate the artwork with some new images, perhaps more recognisable to her. Here are the first three letters...

WAWWD

My design studio, New Future Graphic, are currently working with a great organization called We Are What We Do on a new book. I am making a few new images for the book, this is a test image that was made a while ago.

Graniph Japan

I have been working on some design for a range of T-shirts for Graniph in Japan. Not quite sure when they are coming out but here are some of test designs that won't be featured this time!

Some cards

Keeping on the theme of children I have just made some cards for Otto who is 1 and Isla who is 0!

Anorak Magazine

I did some illustrations for this story for the latest edition of Anorak magazine for kids. It's about a sock who loses his partner and then gets turned into a sock Monkey. I used a sock monkey made for Cherry by Hazel Nicholls, check out her blog.

Happy Wheels

Its been a long time since last post - building a new studio is taking more time than expected. This is a new drawing for a festival of cycling.

The Workshop

We have been in development of a new studio for some time now - and we are in the closing stages of making it a reality. The new Workshop will also incorporate Get Casual - a screen-printing service to the creative industry. So we hope it will lead to more prints for sale - and even more collaborations with friends. Check out the new blog for news...

Happy New Year to you all ( to anyone who actually looks at this blog!). Its a new start this year - I am in a new location - the new studio will be up and running soon - with some exciting editions to scenery, equipment and output - more to come soon. Hopefully there will be some more frequent posts this year!
