Halloween Flyer

A new White Rabbit Promotions flyer...

BLEEEUURRRGGH, I believe they would say.

A Variety of Things for Your Viewing Pleasure...

Here is the finished article...the final flyer for the RIVALS night. I'm rather chuffed with it all, I must say.

The design above it of the whale is for the clothing line Step Up, which is a company who deal with social and ecological issues, with all profits and proceeds going to charities around the world. I'm not going to get into any big political debates on my blog, but I do feel quite strongly about the whale hunting trade, as I mentioned once earlier in my blog with a similar illustration i did. To watch a species dissapear off the planet for cash is a sickening thought. This design will eventually be a tee design...when the company finally gets up and running (fingers crossed it will be soon.

By the way...I don't only draw animals. Although I do draw a lot fo them. Maybe I should post something else next time...? Either way, here's a sketch of a bear, which is different to all the sea creatures I draw, at least. Although he has been soaked by rain.

Rivals Flyer

A cheeky flyer I did for my friend Amandine and her promotions company Rivals! If you happen to be in the Old Street area of London on the 9th October, make sure you get down there, it promises to be awesome! The link to their myspace is thus:

I imagine this shark having a pretty mighty tenor's voice.

Sketchbooks and Agents!

Ah, I'm here, I'm here! Ooops, bit of a delay in posting, but I have been immensley busy trying to get back into the swing of being an illustrator!

Whenever I'm cruising round blogs or artists' sites, I often find the most interesting and inspiring stuff are sketches...the artists imagination and thoughts put down on paper, no strings attached. So I thought I'd try and upload a few more sketchbook pages from now on...my sketchbooks are extremely messy and don't follow any particular pattern or order (infact, there's about another sketchbooks worth of loose paper sketches which I have to shove in the back of the book itself...), but I hope you'll enjoy it! The above are sketches for the Wolf idea I've been working so relentlessly over.

And in other news, I am thrilled to say I have just signed up with Jodie Marsh at United Agents for representation in all things children's books! Hurrah! The link is right over here:

Til next time...

Autumn leaves, surely summer isn't coming to an end?

Here is a little potential chapter cover for Mobius Strip. I'm trying a few different ones at the moment, but this is the only complete one, so I thought I'd show it the light of day on the blog, and it's very thankful for this fact.

I HAVE RETURNED.

Whoa. Wow. Phew. I'm back, after 5 weeks and 12 countries, I have finished having a little backpack around the lovely continent known as Europe. It was an incredible trip, a real education as well, where I met the coolest people and experienced the most amazing things...and also suffered from a huge lack of sleep and salad.

Buuuut anyway, I'm back, and I couldn't be more raring to get on with the illustration and what not, I'm actually very excited to be back at my desk with a pen in hand...

And because it's been so long since I've posted on this baby, I thought I'd stick up a few sketches i made along the trip. I did a lot more, but some didn't work out great, others aren't that interesting and some i couldn't be bothered to scan. The hurtful truth. But here is an example of some of the people I saw whilst on trains and ferries...and shops and cafes and probably a beach.

Another page preview

Here is another preview page from the infamous graphic novel Mobius Strip. I've been working on the graphic novel quite a lot recently to actually feel like I'm getting somewhere with it, but behind the scenes I am actually working very hard on children's books as well...ARGH, busy, busy! I actually really enjoyed doing this page, all the previous pages have pretty much taken place indoors somewhere, so it was nice to get a bit of rain involved. The character actually makes a comment about British weather here, but looking out of my window right now, it's absolutely amazing weather and couldn't be more different to our typical 'rain, warm, rain, rain, rain' pattern us Brits are so lovingly used to.

I am already sporting some tasteful extreme tan lines. Check me out.
