Halsetown Inn

Here is an illustration I created of the Halsetown Inn - a new addition to my illustrations for the Blas Burgerworks website. You can see it sitting on the internet right here, and read all about their menu and wish that St Ives was closer!

More Washing Up

Here's a decorative plate I painted recently to go on the wall of the Halsetown Inn, down near St Ives. Owed them a favour. Won't be doing them a whole dinner set though.

How's My Grilling?

Coming to a festival near you this summer: the Blas Burgerworks Street van! The St Ives-based burger restaurant, revered for its organic ingredients, locally-sourced produce, sustainable credentials (and most-importantly tasty burgers) is going on the road this summer. They asked me to put together a design for the 'Blasmobile', which was unveiled last weekend at the Golowan Festival, Penzance, and the Quay Fair day. The design was very kindly artworked onto the van by the good people at Signs Express, Exeter. All this thinking about Blas Burgers is making me hungry. Cornish Blue Cheeseburger please. I wonder if they'll deliver to Brighton...(picks up phone)...

In their own words: 3.5 tonnes of burger love coming your way! Follow Marie, Sally, Lisa and the team's antics here, here and here ! Phew!

Halsetown Inn Mural # 2

Here's a much larger mural I did in the dining room of the Halsetown Inn. Somewhat eclipsed by the massive pews, but hey they're essential for the hundreds of people that'll be in to try Chef Baxter and the crew's new menu and wine list! So the new management love all the appaloosa horses in the surrounding fields, so they had to make an appearance, along with their new slogan and the area's beautiful scenery. 

This horse is small:

This horse is far away: 

 Here's the text for those of you who don't want to strain your eyes too much:

 Here's a cloud coming off the Atlantic:

 And here's one in daylight for you non-vampires:

Halsetown Inn Mural # 1

 

Here's some shots of a mural I did for the Halsetown Inn, a pub in Halsetown, just inland from St Ives, Cornwall. It has just been taken over by the Blas Burgerworks crew. This painting is in the hallway of the pub, greeting all the tourists and locals alike with a scene from the surrounding countryside...

Super-Size Me

I recently created a burger illustration for the new and updated Blas Burgerworks website - or Blas 2.0. If you're in Cornwall - pay a visit to Blas: the food is really tasty. The burger was coloured in and written on by Ben & Mike.

Blas - Now with Extra Oomph!

Head on over to Blas Burgerworks' site and you can see that the clever people of rndm and baar have given my illustrations that little bit of extra oomph - getting them blinking and dancing and doing all those fiddly technological moving things that they pride themselves in doing.

Stitched Up

Check out this amazing cross-stitch by Linda Turner - her present to Blas for their 5th birthday. Its an amazing version of my illustration for Blas Burgerworks' website, designed by rndm and baar

Blas Burgerworks Mural

Here's some haphazard pics of our recent mural for Blas Burgerworks, St Ives. It was their 5th birthday this week so we went down to decorate one of their walls live at their very over-subscribed birthday party. As well as their slogan, logo, a whole load of clouds, a burger (NOT to scale), their shopfront and a picturesque view of St Ives bay we also managed to squeeze in a couple of local monuments, the sun, a tree and some blackboard paint speech bubbles for some happy customer comments.

A humongous big thanks to Alice for motivation and awesome painting within the lines (a LOT better than mine!), and to Marie, Sal & Lisa at Blas for all the fab food (& beer!). Like them on Facebook, and hit see some more to literally see some more...
