I can't see what's not to like about this guy's work. His colours, little creatures and method of working are all amazing, I'd like to try layering up resin to create a painting like this sometime. Check him out!

hello world

Here's a little self portrait for y'all.

shop

I added a shop tab to the side of my blog, as you can see right over there on the right! ------------------------------->

The tab links to my newly established page on Society6, where you can buy a variety of my designs either as standard high quality prints, or on tshirts/iphone cases/pillows etc, depending on the design. There's not a whole lot on sale at the moment but I'll be gradually adding more, so keep checking!

There's also a link to the right that leads to the developmental blog of Louis Craig Carpenter and I as we work on a stop motion animation together.

Finally! Here are some (not great) photos of the children's book I recently illustrated and hand-bound! My grandmother wrote it in the 80s, it's called The Small Ones. The covers are screen printed in blue ink (in the photos they look more like black, but they're blue) and all the images were made using a combination of pencil, colouring pencils and inks. I'll upload it to issuu soon so everyone can properly take a look at it, these aren't all the pages so you don't get as much of a feel for the story. But overall, I'm happy with the result! it's nice to have as an object that I've made.

On a side note, a couple of my images are in the first issue of the AUB (my university) magazine! Click here for the official blog, and online version.

in between days

Just a couple of test screen prints for the design on the endpapers of the book. More soon!

exhibition

My work is up in an exhibition in Boscombe this weekend! Here are a few snaps I took from the opening tonight. The exhibition is set up in an empty shop space and has all kinds of artwork on display. Everything of mine is for sale, so if you live in the area take a look!

if winter ends

Another (maybe the last of them?) batch of fully edited final images for the book! Got them printed out today, now I have to cut them to size, hand bind them into a neat little book, screen print the cover and create some endpapers. When it's all done I'll see if I can upload it to Issuu so y'all can see a digital version of it.

On a side note, this weekend a handful of my work is being exhibited along with a load of other cool people's at a pop-up exhibition in Boscombe in Bournemouth, so if you happen to live in that area check it out! There will be high quality prints for sale (wink wink).

tangled up in blue

Here are some more final images for the book, this time fully edited and cleaned up. Some I like a lot more than others... I think the last one probably turned out best. I'm considering re-drawing out the first image to make it neater, but I'm not sure if I'm thinking it's too messy just because I've been staring at these too much.
