ISLS (sorry this is from a crappy photo - when I get my hands on a larger scanner I'll post up a better image!)

I was recently in an exhibition off of Brick Lane with some pals of mine from my University course. It went really well, here are a few of the pieces I did for it and a couple of action shots - will get the other images up soon!

Eat My Shoulder Pads

2009-05-20T03:03:00.000-07:00

So I've trying my tablet at a bit of Graphic design of late! Tasked in creating a logo, flyer and poster design for the pop up 80's event company Eat My Shoulder Pads. Anyone who knows me knows that probably quite sadly I am very partial to a bit of 80s (seriously I still have all the toys and a seven inch of Limahl- I blame my older brother)often sighting Back to the Future as as one of my influences! So this has been so much fun, plus it helps when this is a seriously cool eighties night held in pop up locations around London and you're given shoulder pads on the door- the last one being at The Portugese Sporting mens club (slot machines and a retired Portugese pop star and all) in Westbourne park -GENIUS! Can you guess where the logo derives from?

AAT Magazine

2009-05-20T03:02:00.002-07:00

Three shiny, well actually matte copies of Art And Things arrived at my house on the weekend, filled with short stories, art and things (sorry about that) and the two illustrations I created for 'A Well Oiled Heart'. You can see the illustrations properly here and also where one is the first thing you see on on the AAT website! Ace.

Currently working on the images for the next installment of the story! watch this pixel.

Disappear Here 2

2009-05-19T12:58:00.000-07:00

Following from my earlier DH post, issue 2 of the mag was published and let loose in shops and bars and obscure places across London not so long ago - grab one if you can!

...and here you can see mine and Siobhan's individual images in the main article. Upsettingly they didn't manage to use our collaboration due to our poor and inexperienced photography skills - words to the wise don't use a digital slr for the first time ever on the night of the shooting while drinking ginger wine!! Here's a couple of the better images from our shoddy camera work!!

Illustration for LFWs The Daily!

2009-02-23T04:32:00.000-08:00

Illustration of one of the awesomely lovely Fred Butler's hats from the New Gen section of this years London Fashion Week for the LFW's The Daily Newspaper. This was a first for me because it had to be done live and on the spot at the exhibition - so I was standing up and dipping down every two seconds to get a new colour (Thanks to Fred for letting me store my paints on her floor space!!)- But it was really fun, scary and nerve racking (it going to print that day!) -It's also a supplement in the Evening Standard today!? Check it out!

HOWEVER I planned to do a drawing a day from RUBBISH - which I did and just (typically) haven't scanned in yet...blah dee blah dee blah.... all you need to know is that Jenny Dyson = too cool...now it's LFW and I get to do daily live illustrations at shows and things for the RUBBISH blog So I'm gonna start posting the off casts!!:
