A man with a van.

Here is a recently completed commission for Mac Format. They were after a fun, 1950's advert style image. The article was about an application for the iPhone, of which I understood about 10%!

 

In the blink of an eye...

Well, just like that, 6 weeks have past and the time to bring the exhibition back home to Bristol is here. Everyone that came to see it seemed to like all the work, and thanks for all the kind comments. Farewell also to the big wrestlers, enjoy your new home! 

Thanks also to the fine gent who goes to by the name of Chris Andrews. Whilst I was supping on free booze and shmoozing with my public, he was kindly taking the pictures you see above. He is also a dab hand with a brush, so check his work out here.

Hang them high!

Spent a lovely sunny day in Spitalfields hanging all the artworks for my upcoming show 'It was like that when I found it' as part of the Art at Ketchum programme of exhibitions. Below is a little sneaky peek of what you can see on them there walls. He is made out of old plywood and cut by hand with a jigsaw don't you know!

If a free drink on a school night mixed with a bit of art takes your fancy then it would be great to see you there. The private view is on Thursday 18th June 6-8pm at Ketchum, 35-41 Folgate Street, London, E1 6BX. Come one, come all.

The cars have landed!

After a long uphill struggle I have managed to wheel out the first two cars from theboyfrost garage! Involving screen prints, lasercut ply, vintage meccano wheels and hand painted elements these little bundles of joy are a celebration of car design of yesteryear when, lets face it, most things looked better! I have also produced some limited edition prints on lovely 310g Metaphor recycled paper for those who don't drive.......The building process starts. I felt like I was 12 again and I had been given an Airfix kit. 
And the final results. Two automobiles ready to head off into the sunset. After all the hard work it is nice to finally see them in the flesh  and thankfully I am chuffed with how they turned out. Hope you like them too!

Paint,paint,paint...

Two new paintings I have recently finished as part of an ongoing series of artworks featuring people with matchboxes for bodies.

Why matchboxes? Why not!

The World's Liveliest Party Game!

Found this old game in a bric-a-brac shop on the Isle of Skye a few weeks back. 'The more rapidly the trading proceeds, the greater the babel, the more laughter, and the more ludicrous the excitement.' They were lying! Rather splendid box though.

Production Line

I've been hitting ebay hard over the last few weeks in preparation for what I like to call 'operation car!' I now have enough vintage Meccano wheels to get me started on the project that will also involve laser cut plywood, screen printing, hand painted elements and packaging design. Really looking forward to diving head first into a 3D project and hopefully the final results will make it worthwhile.
Also found a few nice bargains on ebay recently which should help inspire the new project!
