I recently got Issue 5 of the beautiful Ernest Journal in the post today, really nice to see my two illustrations in there on the printed page. Get yourself a copy here.

Neo:print Prize

Today I found myself in Bolton for the Neo:print prize exhibition private view. 

I have to say I'm absolutely stoked to be a part of this exhibition, it's the freshest, punchiest print show I've seen in ages and the standard is amazing! Of course I expected nothing less when you have judges from the V&A, Royal collage of art, Printmaking today and Pace Prints New York reps personally selecting the show. 

It was also really nice meeting neo:studio directors: Jason Simpson and Julie Levy, it was lovely briefly chatting to them at the show.
The show runs from the 25th Aug - 30th Oct at neo:gallery 23 The Market Place Shopping centre Bolton. Being on the second floor of a shopping centre it's not where you'd expect but what an amazing space!

Lovely to see the finished CD with my artwork on it. Some great fiddle playing on it by the talented Erynn Marshall.

Waterfront Magazine

An illustration for an article on night walking by Dixie Wills for Waterfront Magazine published by The Canal & River Trust. A beautiful magazine and a very persuasive argument for night walking in the Sussex countryside.

National Original Print Exhibition Private View at Bankside Gallery

I had the great pleasure of attending the private view of the National Original Print Exhibition last night, there was some amazing prints there and I'm so proud to be exhibited with them. Here are some of the pictures:

The latest printed issue of Ernest Journal with my illustrations.

Illustrations for Delayed Gratification

Illustrations for the next issue of Delayed Gratification. These are illustrating a story by Jeff Campagna of the newly elected Panama President's campaign against Gangs. Taking a very different approach to most, with a new initiative giving amnesty to gang members, weekly allowances and job training which helps integrate them back into law abiding society. However, after ten weeks since announcing the new deal, the programme had officially ran out of money. With more and more gangs coming forward to claim their places on the tapped out programme, frustration and violence erupted in the streets worse than ever. 

With this in mind, the first illustration shows a smoking gun with the smoke in the shape of Panama.

The second illustration has guns being handed up and money passed down in exchange.

The spot illustration shows the flag of Panama being used as a target for gun fire.

Ernest Journal new issue

Ernest Journal's new issue is out now, here's a look at the page I have illustrated in this issue. You can buy the full issue here.

Interview for Delayed Gratification

Thanks to Delayed Gratification who have published an interview with me on their blog, read it here.

Delayed Gratification

The most recent issue of Delayed Gratification with my illustrations for an article on the origins of Brazilian football and it's creator Charles Miller. Beautiful cover by Ai Wei Wei along with a great interview inside.

Structo issue 12

My illustrated issue of Structo Magazine with front cover end pages and two selected pieces on Jean Rhys and Margaret Atwood illustrated by moi. I love Structo, they always have the most beautifully written stuff to go along with my cup of coffee.

Delayed Gratification Issue 14

Here's the newest issue of Delayed Gratification with some illustrations by yours truly, this was a slightly different style for me but I love how they've come out, and the article couldn't be a stranger story! DG always have the most fascinating journalism I have to say.

Delayed Gratification - Dead Man Running

Final illustrations for Delayed Gratification next issue's 'Dead Man Running' the incredible true story of man faking his own death with murder schemes and stupidity. Fargo very much springs to mind. Well worth a look when it comes out. 

DG next issue

Preview of some of my illustrations for Delayed Gratification's next issue. Definitely the strangest and most interesting article I've illustrated so far.
