APRIL 2009
The last few months have been busy -- mostly with things other than my art and design work!
Firstly, and most importantly, I now have a wonderful wife. Here's a great random shot of us outside the Town Hall on our wedding day:
Many thanks to good friend Danny North who commemorated the occasion for us with his super-keen lensmanship!
Visit his site to see more of his amazing photography work: dannynorth.co.uk
In other news, I'm delighted to have been asked to take part in a poster series for GALLOWS forthcoming Grey Britain Tour.
Here's my contribution, which will be on sale soon:
Finally, I'm still working on the new site - regarde le space...
DECEMBER 2008
I'm very pleased to announce my poster for The Hold Steady (image below!) is now for sale.
I took a bunch of posters down to the rescheduled gig at Nottingham Rock City to hand over to the band. Not only was the gig every bit as enjoyable as a Hold Steady gig should be but Craig Finn gave me a 'thankyou' from the stage and said it's the best Hold Steady poster he's ever seen -- cue much beaming & raising of drinks from me!
Special thanks to Franz for giving me the opportunity to put something together for them, and to Josh for his sterling merchmanship.
The poster is a 3 colour screenprint, signed, numbered and limited to 100, and is available for £12 postage paid within the UK. Drop me a line via email to order yours!
As well as a couple of additional updates to the Work section, I also come bearing music news... It's been a little while since I've played live music but I'm happy to say I'm now officially involved with a project called The Horn The Hunt.
We're actually on the looking for a drummer and additional synth player - have a look here to find out more.
That's it for 2008; next year sees the (belated) printing of the Night Marchers poster, new art prints & exhibitions, and hopefully a brand new website.
Have a warm Christmas and a wonderful New Year. xo
OCTOBER 2008
Flatstock Europe 3 was a lot of fun -- cheers to everyone involved in organising the event as well as all the other artists and residents of Hamburg!
Before I went away, I left my poster for The Hold Steady in the capable printing-arms of Phantom Screenprint. Unfortunately, due to illness the original Euro tour dates have all been cancelled but luckily the details on my poster should be easily ammended and I will have a poster bearing the correct date soon enough...
If you're interested in hearing when these are available, drop me a line and keep your ear to the ground...

MARCH 2008
It's been a long while between updates but that's not to say I haven't been busy; in fact my girlfriend and I bought a house and got a cat to go with it, which is pretty exciting.
New posters and other images are in the Work section and here's some other snaps of what I've been up to...
 Luke Drozd and I selling our wares at the EPI Expo which took place at the Manchester Urbis last year.
Me drawing on the walls at a couple of Best Joined Up events held at the Faversham.
Artists, designers, illustrators, graffiti types and other paint-pen wielders all come together to collaborate, drip paint and most importantly drink lots of rum.
The printing of my last poster for the band GALLOWS; more can be seen by following the Process link. There are a few left still for purchase!
