It's DJ Drama!...

While I was back in the UK the other week I got to start a piece that's been a long time coming...My mate Tony aka DJ Drama commissioned me to hook up a painting on a wall in his apartment and I got a chance(at last) to start it...

Apologies for the shite photos, definitely need to get a new camera but anyway here is a few progress shots and the wall as it is now...

Hopefully I'll get a chance to finish it soon and I can put it on the site!...

Check out Drama's business here he's twitter obsessed!...

Website!!...(and religion)

Apologies for the lag of blogging but at long last I have a real website, ok so I used Indexhibit to make it so it's not terribly original but fook it I now finally have somewhere to show my work properly!... Go check it out...now!...

Anyway, I've been working like crazy on new works which I will soon upload to my spanking new website, nice!...but for now here's some photos from an reference trip I took recently to the Museum of Religious Art in Uden, Holland...

This is how to draw scrolls properly!...

Really liked this...

The building was an old convent and had amazing windows...

And I did not expect to see this!...

Yep, Hieronomous Bosch...

Also caught I photo(a bad one!...) of this stonker by Neus!...

Mini Flash...

Some more drawings I've been doing at work...simple as...

Behind the counter...

I try and draw as much as possible(even when I'm supposed to be doing other work) and standing around in my current money maker I get a fair amount of time to do so. Up to now I've been throwing away a lot(seriously!) of drawings and paper with doodles on them and though that rather than chucking them thought maybe I should keep some of them.

Here's a few random drawings from the last few days(it builds up quickly)...I'm going to try and keep it up now and post up more of the random bits I do in between actual projects!...Anyway, check them out...

Tony's Pizza...

Just a few things I'm working on for myself, I've been uber busy with work and a few different projects which for the moment are under wraps but as soon as I can will be unveiled...In the meantime I took a few snapshots of some personal projects I'm working on...







Also...Phil at Typeface A Week has been kind enough to feature my hand drawn typefaces on his blog, you can also download the typefaces and use them yourself!...Thanks Phil, check it out here

Publish You

Another post loosely linked with the Alternative Press Festival, 'Publish You' is a book I posted about a while back which I have had a piece of work featured in. The book is full of all sorts of people who are involved in the alternative press world and was launched at the start of the festival.

There is some rad artists in the book including Kate McMorrine who I met at the Collaborama and got some new nice little zines from and Jimi Gherkin who is one of the organisers...

Here's a few pages with mine on the left side of the last flick...

Collaborama

I recently participated in the Alternative Press Festival 'Collaborama'. I went down to The Miller near London Bridge and set up shop with some zines and posters.

The whole day was good fun and a collaborative zine was made featuring all the stall holders artwork done on the day, as well as anyone who happened by!..The day wasn't overly busy which ended up being really good as it gave everyone a chance to meet each other and I traded some zines with some rad people (thanks for that!...).

I'd like to say thanks to Jimi for organising the event and also thanks to everyone who came by to say hello or have a chat, I look forward to doing more of the same!...








After the zine sale there was an live illustrated story and music session by Resonance FM, which was really interesting...Props to all those who illustrated along, I'm glad I decided not too as it was too much pressure at that time of day!...
