Hi all you lovely people. These two pics were for Campaign (Asia Pacific) Mag and the piece was about Nerds and how hard it is to catch them and sell them stuff. I seem to be having a yellow/red head on just now (see below)


These two pics above were for the Washington Post's Outlook mag, I wasn't sure which one I liked more so left the choice to them. I was asked to do the cover as well......Whey hey!

Reincarnation Exhibition


Some of my collage pieces are part of a group show currently running at the London Print Studio in West London. 'Reincarnation' is on until 24th November. Follow this link for more details and go here for my artist page at LPS. 

Also the 'Party Show' at Victor Wynd Fine Art in East London, which includes some of my illustrations from the book 'A Curious Invitation', will be on until 18th November. Find details here.

Hope you can make it over East or West, depending on where you are!

sweet anthology

I've designed the label and branding for new sweet company Chorley & Baker. The collection is called 'Sweet Anthology' and features a modern-baroque icon, with two lovely ladies making sweets..
 The jars are super nice, and the sweets are crazy tasty.
I've done little illustrations throughout the website also. Please try some and let me know what you think!

Farmer Clegg's Night Out



This is my second picture book with the excellent wordsmith Peter Bently and published by the monolithic Macmillan. Its the story of Farmer Clegg (not the Nick varierty) sleepwalking his way into an animal talent contest. CLUCK!
Buttercup is a moonwalking cow, Dobbin is break-dancing Horse, the Ram twins Ramsey and Ramsden may remind of you of some irritating Irish twins, and of course the lead Judge Simon the Cow sporting the hairstyle of a Grizzly bear. 

You can purchase a copy HERE or better still, buy it from a bookshop.

This first hardback edition has gold spot varnish on the details that are here yellow - really beautiful! Check here for details and a sneak preview of the various chapters. There will also we a launch party and exhibition at Viktor Wynd Fine Arts. Please join!
