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.....

Melon Shrub!




Another Collaboration in the works! Melon Shrub is a soon to be released Zine, hoping to be a snowballing creative group, more details will be released at a later date, but in the mean time check out these little tasters!

Daze-Ray Collaboration!!






Oh yeah! This is a big one! A collaboration project with friend and illustration comrade Daisy Whitehouse, we're creating a large image to be printed on vinyl to cover a display of a vacant shop in the Jewellery Quarter! No pictures of any work as of yet, but for the mean time here's pics of the space! Should be very exciting! Will be updating along the way, but in the meantime check out Daisy's stuff here: http://whitewolfillustrations.blogspot.com/

Busy-Busy-Busy!


Got alot of projects on the go at the moment, keeping me occupied trying to to cipher through them! At the same time just drawing and trying things out with new designs and pictures, here's one I've just finished called "Air Balloon"....because that's essentially what it is! Figured it might make an effective tshirt design, so if you like it then I'd recommend checking my zazzle page soon! More to come soon!
