Downtime Sketchfest

While I'm toiling away in the bowels of Photoshop and waiting for the mac to choke and splutter through the rainbow wheel processor I'll dip my pen in the ink and idly doodle various shitkickers, vagrants and mutants. Here's a few. Say hi.

Artsdepot

Been really busy for the last few weeks on various jobs but here's one that's in the bag. A large photo montage illustration to celebrate the fifth anniversary of North Finchley's Artsdepot. The fine photography was taken by Ben Brannan.

Personal Waterloo

Took these snaps of my favourite London view from Waterloo Bridge during my regular cycle ride around town the other week. Won't be seeing it in this sort of weather for a while me thinks, the Indian Summer has truly ended. Enter the drizzle zone.

Independent Brain

Created this illo for a piece in Sunday's Independent magazine about the technological predictions of visionary futurist Ray Kurzweil. Cool n classy layout by the art director Ben Brannan. Yes, by 2040 brains will be uploadable ... on this particular Monday mine feels permanently uploaded and completely irretrievable.

Pink Rush

We all need to wallow in pink every now and again...don't we? Here's a rose-tinted view of Times Square for a Delta Sky magazine article about the rise of Breast Cancer awareness consumer products

Students!

Just finished the cover of the latest Hotcourses University guide and here it is.

Cornwall

Took a second week off in Cornwall to stay in a lovely cabin on the south coast path near Helston. Lots of walking, eating, drinking and darting around the sights of Cornwall. Magic. Ahhh, seems like a lifetime ago already.

Tarifa

Went to the lovely windswept town of Tarifa on the southern tip of Spain for a few days to get sandblasted and lost in the many winding alleys of the old moorish centre. Also popped to Tangier for the day on the speedy ferry to check out the city and wander through the markets...carpet anyone?

Weird Science

On the cover of the New Scientist this week with an illustration about smartphone apps ... and how they turn people into big human apps or something scientific like that. I'm sure of it.

W.E.B. Magazine

I was really pleased to be asked to provide a cover illustration and interview for South Korean magazine W.E.B. ... and thar she blows. Thanks to the editor, Park soo-yeon.

The Illustrated Ape

I've illustrated a couple of double page spreads for a short story called 'Two Watch Man' by Dina Begum in the current issue of The Illustrated Ape. Great to be a part of this issue as the mag is chock full of great work from the likes of Stanley Donwood, NCC and Holly Wales, to name a few. Well worth getting.

Proms Me Badd!

It was a barmy old evening yesterday so I took off on my bike around London and snapped the Albert Hall en route while it's still coated in the Proms illustration work. Also spotted it on a bus in Trafalgar Square the other day which I narrowly avoided smashing into the side of...mmmmm

The Wall Project

I've contributed some work to the website of this interesting LA based project commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. They're going to wall-off Wilshire Boulevard for a day and have some artists go to work on it. Should be cool. More info on the site

Computerheadz

Sneak peek of a recently finished cover illustration for Toronto's Financial Post. I'm suddenly getting a lot of requests for this sort of abstract computer head thang ... which is fine by me!
