Notting Hill Amber

Went out in the Big Smoke the other week and happened to come across some bottles of Moncada's Notting Hill Amber for sale. I worked on the design and illustration of the West London-based brewery's bottle labels, identity & website, as part of my role at Yardpartners, so was good to see it out in the real world! Needless to say we had a few.

Neil Buchanan was double-booked

My hands were filmed drawing for a short animation recently. Stay tuned - there'll be something to show very soon!

Natter with NASS

Saw my "Natter with NASS" logo in one of their mailouts the other day.

DIY Ethics

Here's an illustration I did for Carl Prechezer's blog, accompanying his post all about doing-it-yourself. You can read it here.

Carry On Doctor

Here is a portrait of life coach Gino Peremans, founder of Fern training & coaching, as a 'team doctor' for his new blog.

One's Direction

I've been creating some illustrations for director Carl Prechezer's blog. He's the director & co-writer of cult classic surf film Blue Juice, starring Sean 'son of the third doctor' Pertwee, Catherine Zeta Jones (said in a Welsh accent - obviously) and the young Obi Wan Kenobi. Carl also directs a lot of commercials and promotional films. Check out Carl P's words of wisdom here on his blog.

Online Publication: Matter

I recently created some illustrations for online cultural publication Matter, to accompany an article about opportunist cyber-scammers. Matter post insightful articles about... lots of different things really, but what they all have in common is that they're worthy of the nominal charge. Certainly for when the Mail Online just won't cut it on your lunchbreak. You can read a preview, and see one of my illustrations, here...

Still thinking about hibernating?

Here's some technical illustrations of a range of mattresses I drew recently. I also annotated them all in Polish (well...that someone else supplied). Having worked in a bed shop over a decade ago I can still spot a Continental Queen from a mile off. 

The Sunday Express

Here is an illustration I created for a fiction piece in the Sunday Express' S Magazine last weekend.

ECO Pop Up Shop

Just got some leaflets back from the printers for the ECO Pop Up Shop in Bristol, showcasing Aymo and Mabboo products. Be sure to give them a visit. Printed on 100% recycled paper. Obviously. Like a boss.

Mabboo Mural

Here is the live art I created at the ECO Pop Up Shop at the weekend. The ECO team had a fun Saturday night launch party and needed some art for their walls. The shop is located on the top floor of The Galleries shopping centre, Bristol, and features Mabboo Bamboo T-shirts and products, and Aymo shoes and satchels. The mural features some Chinese, a  lucky cat, some bamboo, clouds, a sunburst, hot air balloons, the Clifton suspension bridge, and the SS Great Britain. If you're in Bristol go take a look! Thans to Ed and the Aymo team, (and special thanks to Sam for his help: his filling in was exemplary!).

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!

Sweat Baby Sweat

You can now get a sweatshirt featuring my winning Brighton Skateboards Tee design. The two-colour design is on a grey marl crew neck sweater. Perfect for this barmy weather yeah? Order it here.

Live Art @ ECO Pop Up Shop

I'm doing some live art at the new ECO pop up shop in The Galleries shopping centre in Bristol on Saturday 1 December from 5pm. The new ECO store features Mabboo & Aymo products - the perfect alternative...sustainable...eco-friendly...creative...organic presents for Christmas (nearly ran out of steam there). Come for the art...stay for the shoes, satchels, Tees and hoodies. Upstairs by Argos. Grab me a catalogue yeah?

Postcards To Alphaville

I'm a big fan of the Postcards To Alphaville website, a site dedicated to illustrations of people's film character crushes. Some of my faves are Pris from Blade Runner, Bob from Lost in Translation, and Phil Seymour Hoffman's creepy guy from Happiness. Inspired by the site, I created this illustration of Enid from Ghost World. Don't judge me...
