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.

Good night Snap.

Well, there it is. The curtain has fallen on what has been my creative home for the past three years. The shop has shut and the studios are slowly being cleared out. It is with a heavy heart that I leave my HQ in the centre of Bristol, but bigger and better things await. It is strange to think that when I first joined the studios, I had only ever done one screen print in my life, and now I seem to be just about making a living from it. For that, I will forever be gratefully. Thank you Snap and all who have sailed in you, we shall miss you.

The Hare

The dirty old pub sign has been scrubbed, buffed, polished, painted and varnished into a new, gleaming swing sign for The Hare public house in Bedminster, Bristol. It was lovely to be asked to create an eye catching sign for this new venture and I hope it has many happy years swinging in the breeze, attracting punters in for a pint or two.

Drinking at work!

There seems to be a large, dirty, metal pub sign in my dining room. All will be revealed very soon.

Pick Me Up. Part 2

Nice house. Lovely weather. New friends. Free badge. Free beer. Amazing work. Mini hamburgers. Long day. Good sleep. Done.

Pick Me Up

Getting all of my work ready today to ship off to Pick Me Up at Somerset House, London. Very excited to be going along under the Soma family umbrella with the likes of Peskimo, Gemma Correll, Andy Smith and Crispin Finn.
