CHILDS PLAY

This is a banner for the top of the page of New York Times' Children's Book Reviews. It was an amazingly fun project. Draw some text with child-related imagery around it. Bliss.

MAKE LIGHT WORK

This is a logo for E.T.C. (Education Training Consultancy Ltd.), my father's company. Did it as a favour but quite liked the outcome.

UNTHANKS A LOT

Having recently met the organisers of End of the Road (the guys who do the festival and release records and put on shows and all that jazz), Simon gave me the task of creating a poster for an Unthanks gig with David Thomas Broughton at Union Chapel. It has now also appeared in Word magazine and Uncut. If you fancy going to the event, check out the information on the poster.

ROPED IN

I've recently helped Joseph Brett and the guys at End of the Road in the making of this awesome video for Efterklang's new single 'I Was Playing Drums'. I helped out with some of the creative process and even helped Joseph with a bit of editing. I love the finished product and am very proud of Joe for getting his little baby conceived, filmed and out in the world within such a short space of time. Enjoy!

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.
