New website!

This week is a sneaky peek at my new-look, simple website...click here to see my work in one place! You'll find everything from buildings to food, people, masks ...and hats!

Keep looking on the website as a new section of one-off originals and screen-prints for sale will be added in the next two weeks - just in case you take part in shopping for the impending festive season...

In other news, a bunch of lovely creative friends and I will be organising a small exhibition next February at House Gallery in Camberwell. Stay tuned here for more news on the work that will be featured by me and my very very talented friends.

The Hot 5! logo

This week is a quick one with an illustration requested by Uk Indie Touring's 'The Hot 5!' new logo:

The Hot 5! blog is a regular feature on Rooms Magazine, so it was great to be asked to be involved in promoting the work of emerging, music-related creatives as of their #009 blog post!

Next week stay tuned for the next in the series of Imagination Vs Reality plus more exciting news on where you'll be able to see more of my illustration work soon......until then!

For this week, something different...

I told you it would not be a post of animal drawings this week! Instead, I'm shamelessly plugging a GOSH charity event I recently made some illustrations for.

 

And here are the details and poster! Please feel free to share!

It's a brilliantly worthy charity, one close to my family's heart, so do buy a ticket and go along if you live near Cambridge. And if you can't make 'Band Night' you can still be incredibly generous and donate some money to the larger event - the London Marathon which my brother is running in aid of GOSHCC. Here is his JustGiving page to donate.

Many thanks and until next week where I will post more news of forthcoming work armed with new illustrations to feast your eyes with! Thanks for looking.

Imagination Vs Reality #2

Inspired by the Beach House song stuck in my head yesterday: Pattern formations, head hair and tails of the zebra will never be forgotten now...

Vs

Which do you prefer? A non-animal theme will be in store for you next week.

Imagination Vs Reality #1

So here starts a series of sketchbook drawings I've thought about doing for a while....just as a fun exercise, and to see what results my brain produces.

Imagination comes first obviously, and knowing me I'll get competitive with reality as I do more...so here is #1. Which one do you prefer?

Watch this space for more next week!

A local commission...

Just framing up a recent commission this week of the Nag's Head in Walthamstow, it has a keen following in amongst the locals that enjoy a good watering hole!

The Nags Head Pub in E17

And now on to framing other prints and other creative projects, including illustrating an Italian scene! Feel free to email me with any requests, until next time.

My Exhibition at Vestry House Museum

The past two months I have been working on tying up a few projects and screen-printing my illustrations! You can see some of the results at the Vestry House Museum where I have an exhibition display. The work is a mixture of my original illustrations and limited edition screen-prints, all for sale and at a very reasonable price if I do say so myself!

Vestry House Museum is housing my first solo exhibition in my local area of London, Walthamstow! It's open from Wednesday to Sunday 10am-5pm, is free entry and has a beautiful, charming little garden - so you have no excuses but to pop along. My exhibition will be on display until 29th August 2013.

Walthamstow Dogs Stadium

I installed the exhibition last weekend, and whilst I was putting it up I managed to sell some work as well as gain another commission! Not a bad start.
