A LOAD OF BULL

I was asked to do some character developments for a Children's Story recently. They decided to go with another illustrator, but I thought I'd share these characters with you anyway:

PARTY PIECE

End of the Road are having a Christmas Shindig and they asked me to design the poster. I did.

HEART TO HEART

I recently helped Joseph Brett and End of the Road Films with this music video for the band, Allo Darlin'. It basically took two weeks of living life among cardboard, and a hell of a lot of hard work from everyone involved, but it looks awesome so yay!

I helped make the rooms look cardboard, helped Leila Watts with some feature pieces (including the amp), shot some footage on my camera for the video, danced for many hours in a heart costume (I am the living room heart and the right table tennis player), and did the first edit for the first half of the video (but then Joseph made it better)

Anyway. I loved being a part of it. I hope you enjoy it.

FAITHFUL GUARDIAN

Bruno Haward from the Guardian Weekend, commissioned me to do my fifth piece for the Oliver Burkeman column. This one was all about scientific evidence to suggest that writing your worries on a piece of paper and sealing them off in an envelope, actually relieves some of the anxiety a person has about that specific problem.

A DOG'S LIFE

This commission was for the Big Issue and accompanied an article about emergency hostels refusing entry to homeless people with dogs. The waiting lists for the places that do allow dogs, range from six months to two years.

NOT MY TYPE

I would like you to read the below story. It was written in response to my wordless book, Foxly's Feast. It was created by a young girl in my mum's school and it is lovely. I see bright things for the future of this girl. I have kept in the spelling mistakes for your enjoyment:


Foxsly wa was hungry, his tummy was growling like a lion. So he decided to find something to eat. First, he went to the woods, in the woods there was were some apple tr trees so he got some -> apples. He also saw a bird and he tnvited him to his feast. Next, he went to the farm and there he found some coliflower cauliflower so he got some of that for his feast. The he asked the chickens if they wanted to come to his feast. He said politely "would you like to come to my feast?" they said yes. Then he came across a pont, in the pond there were some animals and he invite them to his feast too. Also, he picked some bright, yellow sweetcorn wrapped inside o pure green leaves. After that, he dipped his head in the deep, blue pond so he invite the -> scaly fish. Then he yo climbed climbed out of the water. When he was out he saw some grey rats so he invited them to his feast. Then, he wa pocked his head down a rabit hole he invited the rabbits to his feast then gathered -> up some currots.


in the distance he could see a field, -> he decided too go there. In that field there were some brown and white sheep and there was some -> green brocly. so he picked some also he invited the sheep. Then he got prepared for the feast. The he asked the owl to his feast. T Everybody tucked in. The owl and Foxly were full up.

AN ORANGE SEGMENT

I was commissioned by John Brown Media Group to create this Double Page Spread for Orange Together Magazine. It is essentially six spot illustrations.

BEER, THERE & EVERYWHERE

This was a commission for Jamie Oliver's Magazine. It was an article about the finer side of drinking beer, and includes a rough guide of what beers suit what meals. Ironic that I keep getting so much alcohol related work, when I don't drink.

BEHIND BARS

I designed the three pub signs for End of the Road Festival this year:

End of the Roadkill

Crow Bar

ANIMATION STATION

I went to End of the Road Festival recently and helped out on an Animation workshop for children. Here are some photos from our little corner of the festival
