New screen-print of the late-great-king-of-Baltimore-funeral-homes Russell "Stringer" Bell. If you're a Wire geek like me then you'll feel my pain (still not over it). And talking of Wire geeks - a friend sent me this - I wants me one (Christmas present anyone?).
Can't get layer masks out of your head? Jittery about stray anchors? Always thinking of colours in their CMYK values? Then you need my screen-print I just finished - a kind of personal manifesto sort-of thing. The metallic robots will scare that rubbish out of you...
Cheers to the guys for posting about me on the My Boxfresh Blog. Always awesome for a bit of mid-morning procrastination...
A short run of postcards I screened recently. Want some in your letterbox? Email me. Includes an ode to 'The' Beadle, and some chunky bespectacled guy that I reckon I'm gonna look like when I'm older, and an eagle too.
Okay film buffs - I painted a mug last weekend - it just came out of the kiln. Hotter than the sun. BUT - where's the quote from, eh? Answers on a postcard please: mail (at) mattcstokes dot com (Top prize - pure pity for knowing such a banal fact - with a sprinkling of respect...)
Who said the Swiss don't have a sense of humour? Not me, and especially since this - see the evidence for yourselves - a Zurich toy store window display consisting of plastic pigs scattered around top board game "Pandemic". Topical...
Wandsworth Athletic Football Club polo shirt spotted. All the guys are sporting them on their time off. More coming soon when they're back on the scene - training and the like...
Went to Body Worlds in Zurich - had always meant to go in London. It was like metres from the hotel in Zurich, so had to! Spent hours staring at cadavers with tacky wigs added. And badly designed captions...in French and German :(
Popped over to Switzerland for a few nights - stayed in a hotel that used to be a women's prison. No room service...
Just got the new Gasbusters flyers I designed through the post. Cheers to Simon in Leeds and Rob in Utrect. International eh?
Probably the best pillowcase in the world...? Definitely the best present from a boss I've ever received. And I'm a massive Drew Barrymore fan.
New cover illustration for the latest issue of First Time Buyer Magazine. I pretty much love drawing buildings now - especially when they're behind that lady from Loose Women; real name "Ruth from Hollyoaks"...
Cheers to Agata at Dazed for putting up some of my screen-prints on the DazedDigital blog.
Check out the work I created with Cazz Buckley is featured in the Autumn edition of Catch 22 Magazine. Available at the Carhartt store, Earlham Street - where there is currently an awesome exhibition of screen-prints by Elzo. Go.
