Online Portfolio is up!

Hey, so the progress of having an actual intimate and personal website may take some time, as I don't want to rush it, but to get myself more spread out on the web, I've uploaded an online version of my portfolio, so please have a look and get in touch if you so wish!

Projects are still a go, so should have some new work together over the next week! Gotta keep it busy! Boo-Yah!

UPDATE!

Ok ok, so it's been far too long since I've updated my blog! So here we are with some explosive information! To begin with, I've finished my degree, so hurrah and also bring on the real artistic world- but before we get ahead of ourselves, here's what I've been up to!

First off the Jewellery Quarter Mural, the first completed Daze-Ray illustration! Was a great success, the window looked awesome, so kudos to both me and daisy (http://www.whitewolfillustrations.com/) for pulling it off!



Following this was the Daze-Ray exhibition! In the same location of the mural, both myself and Daisy got to show our individual works, which again was a success, alot of good viral coverage and overall a rewarding experience! I got to finish and showcase my "The World that Never Got Lonely" project, here are some images below of my work up!






But for a better idea of what the images actually looked like, here a few below, the complete set can be found at my flickr and facebook, and all are available as unframed prints!






So yea it's been busy! Most importantly is that at the moment I'm currently open to all new commissions and projects! But I will be embarking on Toastie-O 2 and the second issue of Melon Shrub as personal projects!

Sneak Peek of work for new exhibition!

It's the Fringe- again!

Here's a little something I've knocked up quickly for a close friend and his acting troupe; Bad Bread, who are once again performing the fringe! Were bloody hilarious and to anyone who has been following this blog for a while will know I did their flyers/posters etc.! Well It's that time again, and they've managed to bag themselves a slot on the Ch.4 venue, the underbelly, which is legend! Here's a design of the Ad that will be inside the fringe magazine! If you're about in august in edinburgh you need to check this out!

MAJOR UPDATE! ARRRRRRR......ahem, yey

Ok so have not updated anything in a little bit, so here is a huge onslaught of things I've been up to! First off was at london with mr jack ryan burston yesterday selling the first edition of Melon Shrub at the THING 2010, web and independent comics fair! Was fairly quiet, but managed to sell 15/20 of our first batch and got a general vibe of appreciation so a really confident start to this zine hopefully becoming a permanent fixture!







Next, the mural for the jewellery quarter space that me and daisy are working on is pretty much complete, the version I've got up has had since small alterations, but nothing major was required to fix, so hurrah! We're aiming for it to get put up mid april along with maybe having a small function including the press to cover it! The other amazing news with this is that we now have secured permission to do an exhibition in mid may, which will updated closer to the time but worth getting excited about now! Ohh and a limited number of postcards are being made!



Have just submitted my three designs to the YCN for the o2 arena illustration brief, which worked out quite nicely if for at the least giving me a new batch of characters to play with!





Lastly I've been accepted into the Just Us collective, but that's all still abit vague so will update once the website goes live! On top of that I'll be putting more work into the Creative in Birmingham shop in the bullring on tuesday, if anyone has a request of my work make sure to ask now!

I think I may catch up on sleep now.....
