Live scribbling at Mr Wolfs





Thursday 9th December saw the latest installment of the Dirty Old Town night's at Mr Wolf's, Bristol. Myself and Mr Lee "What" Summers took to the boards armed only with our trusty posca pens. As well as visual treats, the night also hosted some top acts including A State of Mind (support band to Wax Tailor), as well as local Dj's Mr Soulsbury, Skint and Rackabeat and Bar-Low. Was real happy with how it all went and think myself and Mr Summers will be scribbling together again real soon!

Digital Artist issue 14 Q&A





Little Q&A I did for this months Digital Artist magazine on how to create a Heath Robinson style device. The issue also features work from talents such as Simon Wild (cover design), JamFactory aka Gavin Strange, Victo Ngai and Sticky Pop. A great issue this month, so be sure to check i out. 

Computer Arts Projects




I was recently commissioned by Alan Wardle at Computer Arts Projects to complete an editorial illustration for an article they were running in their APP issue. The brief was simple: a hoard of different characters marching upon an unsuspecting app store attendant. Nice!
I set to work and spent two days creating the scene and characters. I was really chuffed with how it came out and it looks great in print. The issue is out now and contains some great work from the likes of Steven Bonner, CreativeWax and Alexis West.

Spot of painting...




Just a few shots from the painting I did for Start the Bus last month. Myself, Dave Bain, Lisa Hassell and Camille Dorbrin were asked to come down and jazz up the exterior walls with a spot of painting. Done over a period of 3 weekends (slow drying paint and bad weather) this is the final result. Enjoy :)

Versus card designs unveiled


Last night saw the launch of the Versus card project which included the likes of Iain Sellar, Tom Lane, Aaron Miller and Camille Dorbrin. 13 illustrators were each assigned a number or other (Jack, Queen, King) to design and I was given the Aces. Lucky ol me! Since the launch has come and gone I can finally reveal my 4 designs. Simple in content but hopefully effective. The Versus show runs at the Start Space in Bristol until 19th November. If you are in the area, be sure to check it out. Enjoy.




Movember T-Shirt is number 1!


My design for the Movember t-shirt competition run by the guys at Spunky Clothing is the highest selling design and has temporarily sold out. Hurrah! More will be in stock soon which is great news as £5 from every t-shirt sold goes directly to the prostate cancer charity they are supporting.

How stupid do I look?

I wouldn't normally post stuff like this but this really made me chuckle. I mean honestly, how stupid do I look?:

Dear Beloved,

May the peace of the Lord always be with you .
My name is Rev Sis Joyce Emanuela. I am 79 years old now and I have been
bedridden for the past 5years. Now I believe that my time has come to join
my ancestors in heaven.

I got your email address from the Internet as the spirit of Almighty God
directed me to contact you for this charitable work.
I have $8,000,000.00 deposited in a safe location which I want you to have
on my behalf for an important charitable project. I choose to hand over
this money to you for this charitable work which I know you have desired
for people in need. I hope you will honestly do this for me, if yes please
forward to me your particulars and your contact information like private
phone and fax numbers so that I will send it to the Finance firm
immediately for claims.

Finally, I will like you to inform me what you do for a living so that I
can be able to know if your work is going to allow you to handle this
project that I am committing into your hands to the glory of God. Get back
to me as soon as possible.

Thanking you and remain blessed in the Lord.

Rev. Sis Joyce Emanuela

Postcard giveaway


I created a some postcards to give away at the Inkygoodness show and decided to use my image from the A Beautiful Machine show I took part in last year. Really happy with how these have come out and managed to shift all those that I took dow to the show.

Postcard packs


I put together some postcard packs for the Inkygoodness show. Each pack contains 3 postcards of images from the show, digitally printed and wrapped in a cellophane bag. I'v still got some spare so if you'd like a pack then please get in touch.

AMMO Magazine



Got my copy of AMMO through in the post over the weekend and it looks tip-top. I am proud to be involved with such a great little publication and a big thanks to the creative director Dave for having me involved. Hopefully we can work together again sometime soon. 

Inkygoodness show



The opening night of the Inkygoodness show at the East Gallery in London came and went with a bang. After opening the doors at 6pm the show saw 1000+ people pass through the doors before it eventually closed at 11pm. The whole evening was a massive success with a great time had by all those involved and some truly great artists exhibiting. Here are a few pictures from my set up at the show, just for your little peepers. Enjoi!

Inkygoodness 4 show work...


Here is the first image in a series of three that I have designed, prepared and framed for the Inkygoodness 4 show coming up next week. This was an adaption of a piece created for Ammo Magazine (see previous post), trying out some new techniques with gradient meshes and opacity gradients. This one, as well as two others will be on show at the East Gallery from the 2nd September and available to buy online from my shop. All limited edition and all quality prints on German Etching paper.

Movember T-Shirt design


Movember a charity aimed at raising money by asking people to grow a moustache in the month of November have asked a few illustrators to come up with T-Shirt designs based on the moustache. This one was a quick turn-around and so was kept rather simple. It's a big moustache made up of lots of little moustaches! Just in case you couldn't tell! 
We find out in a few weeks whether the design goes to print so will keep you up-to-date.

Ammo Magazine


Here is a sneaky preview of my recent submission to AMMO Magazines upcoming fourth publication entitled PLAY. The launch will coincide with the Inkygoodness 4 exhibition launch of the same name. Really looking forward to seeing this one in print. 

Mash-Up Club night flyer


New flyer design for The Bunker's weekly Mash-Up night. The client wanted a Japanese styling for this one with characters and bright colours. When thinking of a Japanese style mash-up I instantly thought of a giant DJing octopus spewing guts!
