Myth, Tradition and Folklore

I am very happy to be part of a lovely group show that is opening this Saturday at the Emma Mason Gallery in Eastbourne. It is a celebration of all things mythical, traditional and folklorish. I will be amongst some great artists including the wonderful Jonathan Gibbs and the super talented Alice Pattullo. For more information have a look at the Emma Mason Gallery website.

Prema Card Rack

Another typically boring commission from the lovely people over at Prema. Can you make us a rocket shaped card rack? Oh, go on then, if I must. I cannot tell you how happy I am when people get in contact with a really fun project that you can get your teeth into. Happy days! It sits rather comfortably next to the a board I built for them a little while ago.

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.
