Building an army...


Producing a mini version of my wrestlers ready for the Christmas rush! I have done 17 of two colour ways. Been a bit of an under taking as it involves laser cut plywood, hand painting, screen printing and varnishing. They will also be popped in a nice screen printed box..... phew!

 

Wrestling for a good cause!

I have donated a big wrestler to the Jamaica Street Artists auction that will be taking place on December 3rd at the Bristol City Museum to help raise funds for the purchase of the building.

The museum is free to get into and the exhibition is well worth checking out, full of cracking artwork of all different styles. 

A new home

Had a big change in the work situation recently. After spending the last 7ish years working at my home studio in the attic, I am now lucky enough to be a part of Snap Studios along with the seven other lovely people who work there. Still in an attic studio, but at least I am seeing actual humans! Above is the first of many screen prints I will be doing at Snap, a Christmas card to raise funds for Snap. Come down and get yourself some before they sell out!

Get me to the church on time.....

Just spent a great weekend flitting between Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire for a friends wedding. I had the honour of being the best man so thought it fitting to give them a gift that will remind them of all the hard work I put in to make their day so special! I decided to do a hand painted, customized version of my screen printed cars, which takes a hell of a lot longer to produce but the result is a hell of a lot more satisfying. They are painted in lightly sanded back acrylic paint and finished with a satin varnish.

If you were wondering, the C&S stands for Chris and Samara (the couple in question), 26 is the day they got hitched, and the number plate has the wedding date on it also.

Waitrose Food Illustrated

Just spent a month nestling in amongst the pages of Waitrose Food Illustrated. Nice commission, great magazine, just wish I could afford to shop there!

Kick Back Lino Style!

I had a pile of business card size pieces of lovely white Metaphor card lying around in the depths of a rather cluttered plan chest. I haven't done a lino cut for many a year so thought I would see do a teeny weeny mini print. Not sure what to do with them yet, but I rather like the little blighters!

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%!
