Braces & Brogues

A fashiony illustration here again. can't remember what the image I was drawing from was but I think it's irrelevant here.

IDIOT.

This is what dressing like an idiot looks like. Stupid.

Time is ticking away

here is my piece for the happy journey collective. I based it on the idea of there being a 'clock' for everybody slowly ticking away before they die. Pretty dark, but Time is ticking!

Mapas//Maps

Mapas//Maps has finally been published! Its got the piece from March in it, along with 52 artists from 23 different countries. You can flick through the entire book (or buy it!) here.

I really wish I had done a better job. Compared to all the other work it looks really dull and the typed page I included just doesn't fit with the rest of the book at all. Its a shame but never mind.

I've been busy!

EDIT: Just to help with some of the confusion, this is all my own illustration work, no one elses, I did every peice of work in the photos, just as a few people have asked, yes it's all mine! Hope you enjoy my stuff anyway!!

This is just one of the photos of my work the guys at Reluctant Hero, based in the Electric Sheep store in Newcastle, put up on their blog, check the rest of the pics.

I've actually been loving it working there, haven't stopped working, it's been refreshingly inspiring haha, have a look at their other stuff too, there a great bunch of dudes who put out some wicked designs!!

couple of stiffs

Possible t-shirt designs here for him and her! I'm not sure if they'e finished yet tho.

Without death there can be no life

This is my contribution to the Happy Journey Collective. I went with a bit of a serious theme. I was inspired by Mexican religious art and also Gustav Klimt.

Transparent bones

Here I started playing about with graphic design and mixing it in with my illustration and also some found imagery. really i was inspired by another illustrators work that I came across. He used a lot of strong line and colour contrast.

Uni Project

This is a double page spread of a magazine i have to make for uni about overheard conversations. This was a conversation i heard on the train when about 10 old ladies came and sat near me. Im not sure if the magazine it is meant to be B/W yet so i may add colour if it isn't but old ladies have grey hair anyway so it fits.

NEW TEE-SHIRT

i don't know how to get them in the right position but have fun turning you computer sideways!

Le moustache

Darkwood.

Here's my entry for the 'Hello you creatives' in print. I'm really happy with how it turned out and i managed to get it in on time so fingers crossed they like it and use it , if not I'm loving it anyway so win win! Thanks to Luke and Jack for the heads up, thats Coloured Vapor Collectiveness!!!

Note: The peice is named after 'Daft Punks' awsome tune 'Darkwood' from their 'Discovery' album, my favorite album of all time...

M-BOT'S : Full Unit 01

Here's one of the projects I've been working on lately this was just for fun it isn't a final peice but I thought it was quite a good showcase of all the robots I've been drawing lately for the project!! The final peice is going to be a canny nice big canvas with a similar spacey background (fingers crossed)!!
(All these little fella's took up about 10 pages of my sketchbook, it's like they've invaded!)

In Praise of Idleness

My latest piece, featuring in the August 2010 edition of The Crack Magazine. You can read the article 'In Praise of Idleness' by clicking here or, if you are lucky enough to live in the North East, you can find copies of The Crack in art shops, galleries, touristy places and so on. They're free =]

Tea?... Fuck You

I should really be doing my Uni summer project but i found a picture of an old lady swearing and decided i'd draw that instead. Enjoy.
