CENTS & SENSIBILITY

Last week I did a bit of self-promotion and got an editorial job for the New York Times. It was for a book review of Jane's Fame: How Jane Austen Conquered the World. This image basically refers to the author's notion that Austen was '...a writer consciously crafting and controlling her creative persona'.

LEADER SHIP

I had another piece in The Guardian Weekend last weekend for the Oliver Burkeman column. I didn't actually manage to get a copy of the magazine cause I was skiing but hopefully I'll be able to get a photo of it up here. Until then, here is the original file:

GO BUY THE BOOK

This is the new cover for my debut Picture Book, Foxly's Feast. It is now available for Pre-Order from the following: http://www.templarco.co.uk/picture_books/owen_davey/owen_davey.html

GOING SOLO

I had the Private View to my Solo Exhibition at Here & Now the other night. Thanks to anyone who came to enjoy the Tea, Cake and Illustration. Here are a few photos from the evening for your enjoyment:

GETTING SHIRTY

This is a shirt design I did for The Leisure Society to be sold at their gigs. They are a wicked band so it was a privilege to have a commission from them. Check out their website here: http://www.theleisuresociety.co.uk/

A LIKELY STORY

I have recently done a flyer for an event in the Imagine Children's Festival 2010. It is Julian Hepple's Storytime and sounds brilliant. A mixture of experimental music and storytelling. Hopefully I will make it along myself. It's on the 20th Feb at the Southbank Centre. Come along.

BOLD AS BRASS

Here is some of the CD Artwork I designed for a Tuba Quartet, who are aptly named YouTuba. It includes songs from Carnival Of The Animals, The Jungle Book and Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. Check out their website and buy their album here: http://www.youtuba.org/

HIGH FLYER

I've had the flyer done for my exhibition in Here and Now Gallery that will be on display throughout March. The exhibition is named, If In Doubt, Make Tea. Although I'm not a drinker of tea myself, I love the quintessentially British ritual of tea drinking.

NO BUSINESS LIKE SNOW BUSINESS

This year's Winter issue of Anorak has three double page spreads of my work. The illustrations accompany a short story by Sam Royle about a girl who decides she wants to become a quizmaster. So get your festive behinds down to somewhere like Borders or W H Smiths and have a little look.

A LEAF OUT OF THEIR BOOK

This was actually complete a long time ago but I've only just found my camera. This is 'Illustrated Quotes and Sayings 4', a promotional book for BA(Hons) Illustration at University College Falmouth and the students who graduated in June of 2009.
