Ice Cold Pitchers

Just got some photos of a tee I designed for Bristol Softball team the Ice Cold Pitchers. They needed a kit so Mabboo was only too happy to help, along with some help from the team's sponsors: the South Gloucestershire Coach & Bus Co. (catchy - yeah try laying THAT out nicely on the back of a shirt!) Apparently it gave them 'the edge' on its debut wearing - with the team coming back from 8 runs down to win 27-25. This means nothing to me. Who scored?

Thanks to Ed (and Sam's camera) for the photos.

James' Gymnasium

Birthday present for a friend's boyfriend. FYI he doesn't actually look like this...

NASS en Masse

Ran the NASS en Masse 10km in Richmond Park at the weekend. The race was started by a local MP. I only knew who he was because he was the only person wearing a suit in a park on a Sunday morning. Here is a picture of my certificate. I also received a medal. The Wall of Gaylord continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who sponsored me.

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.

Need more of these, what with everything going on. And then more hours in each day please.

Up Sleeves: Mabboo

Ed & I have been working hard on the next installment of sustainable bamboo fabric clothing from Mabboo. Expect more designs, colours and garments due summer 2011. Follow the tweets for up-to-the-minute news here if you feel so inclined.

Bang On

Ran the 16 mile Kingston Breakfast Run last weekend. (FYI: no breakfast was provided) Ran it in 2 hours 26 minutes and 14 seconds - smashing a WHOLE 60 SECONDS off of last year's time. Prize for consistency? In the post I am told, along with the bacon sandwich as well I should hope.

Cheeky Monkeys

Here's my window painting for Cheeky Monkeys toy shop in Rottingdean. Marco and I made a big thought bubble, seascape and headlines to showcase the store's upcoming Lego building competition. Sorry for the dodgy pics - the sun decided to make a welcome appearance from over the sea. You can read about Marco's Lego exploits here and buy Cheeky Monkeys' wares here.

Inaction Man

Here's a piece I did for JD Sports & Size? - a comic graphic to be brandished on a large scale in-store - featuring a modern day lingo version of the one and only Action Man. Unfortunately it looks like its screeched to a halt. Back in the box for Action Man.

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

Meat is Murder...?

Yuck! That looks like actual brain, but I'm still surprisingly kind of hungry...

Delay Tactics

This is what I do when I should be working: little graffiti pictures on Facebook that have no relevance to anything whatsoever. Doodling on a computer - or Creative procrastination. Hit see some more to see four more (far worse) pictures - if you can be bothered, right? But then again you're probably doing this to put off doing some actual work - am I right?

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...

This Van is Awesome

A White Van turned-literary - spotted in Cornwall.

Doodles on the Train

Half Coke – Half Diet Coke

Ran in the Brighton Half Marathon again this year - completing it in 1 hour and 53 minutes - skimming an entire three minutes off of last year's time. Mad good improvement...

It explains the lack of posts recently (James) - sorry! Thanks for all the shouts of "Go on Mabboo Bamboo" from the ravers in the crowd, and to the over-friendly baggage attendants. And to Aiko - proprietor of Choc in 神戸市 for the running candy (?).
