Ticktockrobot

Over the last few weeks I have been lucky enough to become part of the lovely Ticktockrobot team, an animation company based down in sunny Brighton. Not only that but a really pleasant job came along even before the ink had dried on the contracts. We were asked to create a series of six stings that highlight the various areas and events that are happening during this years Goodwood Revival Festival. Above is the fruits of our labours.

Not only a fun and satisfying job to work on, but hopefully the start of a beautiful relationship!

WAW to NY AAF

These last few months have been hectic to say the least. Barely enough time to breathe with all the projects that have been flying around the studio, but finally the fruits of my labours are starting to emerge. Drove across to London yesterday to deliver a fresh new batch of big old match boxes to the lovely people at Wills Art Warehouse. They are being kind enough to take all my work to the Affordable Art Fair in New York and I am really excited to see how my work goes down across the pond.

The 'Keep The Home Fires Burning' design may well yet turn into a paper based screen print, but maybe a few days off first!

Big Shop Update

My shop has had a big update with the new circus prints, smaller version of 'Waves Will Rise' and new large stamps and match boxes.  All available here.

The Circus comes to Frome

The circus is indeed on its way to the lovely town of Frome. I was kindly asked a while ago to produce some work based on the theme 'circus' as part of the open studios at this years Frome Festival. Above is what popped out of my head including a fireworks box and a circus ticket.

You can see these in all there colourful glory in a delightful house located at 21 Lower Keyford, Frome, BA11 4AP from Sat 7th - Sun 15th July 2012 alongside a plethora of other artists.

ELCAF 2012

After an epic few days of printing, no sleep, a 5am coach and then standing up for 10 hours trying to sell my wares, ELCAF 2012 is done and dusted. Just as the doors were about to open, Al from Nobrow was worried that nobody would turn up to this inaugural event. Then over 3000 people decided to turn up, and the room was completely packed from 10am until 8pm. It was lovely to be part of such a great day and meet so many nice people. Heres to many more to come.

ELCAF

I feel very lucky to be taking part in the first East London Comic and Arts Festival (ELCAF) hosted by the wonderful folk at Nobrow. Taking place on June 17th at an amazing looking venue, The Village Underground, Shoreditch. This being a curated event there will be some amazing names taking part from a wide selection of disciplines, and me! McBess (creator of the poster you see above) will be the artist in residence, there will be a talk by the incredible Blexbolex, a whole host of comics, books, artworks, goodies and products to fill your pockets with, and live music in the evening. Tis going to be pretty special. If you are around, come say hello! More information can be found here.

Print at Rostra

This Saturday welcomes the opening of 'Print' at the Rostra gallery in the beautiful city of Bath. Along side my screen printed efforts will be the genius of Bjorn Lie, the loveliness of Freya Cumming, the wit of Simon Tozer, the playfulness of Jane Ormes, the originality of Graham Carter and some guy called Sir Peter Blake. Not a bad role call!

Bucks fizz and treats from 11am - 1pm Saturday 5th May at Rosta.
