To-Do List!

Whenever I have a huge list of things to do, I always get a crappy scrap of paper and make a to-do list to follow, but as I was doing my list the other day, I thought I'd design a nicer looking one (and added that to the current list) to use as it would look better stuck up on my studio wall than the back of a bank statement envelope! Here's a version you can save and print to use too!

Goody Bags!

The MCM Expo is but a few short weeks away and I have 25 free goody bags to give away! All you have to do is print out the above voucher, present it to me with a florish at the con and I will hand over a goody bag. They all contain the same amount of goods but with slight variations so what you could get is anyones guess! I have no idea how well they'll do but be sure to find me as soon as you can at the show with your voucher to get one!

Sneaky Peeks #3!

I'm racing to get a small monster-based activity book finished for the MCM Expo at the end of the month. Just need to finish the cover and it can go off to the printers!

Sneaky Peeks #2!

A couple of bits from two of the children's books I'm illustrating...

Sneaky Peeks #1!

I've got a stupid amount of work on at the moment and thought I'd do a few sneaky peek updates to show you what I'm working on! I have two projects going that involve designing mobile phone cases (mainly iPhones but hopefully different formats too in the future). It's pretty fun and we'll see where it leads!

The Elusive Sasquatch!

Whilst out on a walk, I had the unexpected pleasure of meeting the world-famous Sasquatch (Bigfoot is his stage name). We had a chat, drank some tea and he kindly posed for an out-of-focus photo for me. He's a lovely guy. Very down to earth.

Anti-Vertigo Monster

Some monsters suffer from Anti-Vertigo and need to constantly leap from tall building to tall building. These monsters rarely touch the ground during their lifetime and tend to stick to well-known monuments for the attention.

Food Monster

Waiter, there's a...thing...in my dinner...

Flying Monster

The north coast of Devon in England is frequented by flying monsters of questionable etiquette.

Peek Monsters

These monsters like to pop up from behind mountains and hills just long enough for the observer to question what they may or may not have seen.

Territorial Monster

Las Vegas also attracts a lot of very territorial monsters. The more novelty the hotel, the greater the prize.

Water Monster

This monster is often seen lurking in the waters around New York, letting off windies that cause mild to moderate rocking of passing vessels (for his own amusement).

Glomp Monster

Morning Monster!

Afternoon Monster

Hazy Watercolour Memories

For those either not from the UK or not old enough to know what it was, Hartbeat was a brilliant children's art show that inspired me and countless others as kids!

Jurassic Dorks Presents: The A-Z Of The 80s!

It's official! The Jurassic Dorks have an exhibition coming up! Tell your friends, invite your family whether they want to come or not, prepare to have your nostalgia buds wangled and buy awesome prints and stuff. Your dreams will LITERALLY come true if you attend this show.* But seriously, we're all pretty excited; expect the following weeks to be full of giddiness as we all prepare for our first, and hopefully not last, show at Centrespace in Bristol!

*Your dreams may not literally come true if you attend this show.

Jurassic Dorks!

I'm delighted to announce that I'm now part of an awesome illustrative collective called Jurassic Dorks! The collective is made up of myself, John-paul Bove, James Stayte, Mark Pearce and Dylan Cook. We have our first exhibition in December, more of which I'll post very soon. Hopefully this will the first of many projects by Jurassic Dorks!

Dumpy Dinosaur!

Research is Fun

If anyone knows whether Skynet has created time travel yet, please let me know - I'd love to be able to fiddle around and get some extra working hours in! It's been a hectic couple of weeks and it's only going to get busier over the next few months. I'm in the middle of the kid's books at the moment; 3 are roughed, 1 approved and most of the work done, 2 waiting to hear back on and currently waiting for details of the fourth book. It's a lot of fun so far and I hope the publishers are pleased with what I've done.

Hopefully in the next week I can finally reveal the awesome exhibition the collective I'm now part of are putting together for December. We're just working out some information details and then we can reveal all! Just to tease, I've been playing this game as research...

I've got 2 big cons coming up too which I hope to get some new work made for, it's just a matter of getting the time to do it all! :P
