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!

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!
