REPRESENT!

I now have some representation from the wonderful agency of Folio. I will let you know when my work is up on the site, but for now, check out www.folioart.co.uk to see who will be taking me under their wing. Lets hope it's the beginning of a long and happy relationship...

HOT 'COCO'

This is an editorial about Audrey Tautou playing 'Coco' Chanel in a biopic of the pioneering French fashion designer. She is also the face of the new Chanel No. 5 advert, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (the guy that directed 'Ameilie' and 'A Very Long Engagement').

THE BANHART ART

Another experiment with my portraiture. This time I've illustrated Devendra Banhart, using his album 'Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon' as inspiration. By the way, the album is an eclectic joy!

BREAK THE NEWS...

Two days after graduating University College Falmouth, I was delighted to have been published in the Guardian Weekend. If you happened to buy the paper that Saturday and had turned to page 63, you would have seen my editorial illustration for Oliver Burkeman's 'This Column Will Change Your Life'. Here is a photo of the image in action...

FIRST THINGS FIRST

I was incredibly chuffed to find out that I've been awarded a First Class BA(Hons) Degree for Illustration. It's been a busy, tiring three years but I've loved it. I now step out of education (after 19 years) into the abyss of real life. Wish me luck...

A BUNCH OF EXHIBITIONISTS

Starting Tuesday 16th, The Degree Shows for University College Falmouth are open to the public. Its open til Saturday 20th and the Illustration stuff is at the Woodlane campus. If you wanna check out a sample of the work that will be up, check out www.fcaillustration.co.uk

JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER

In the 2009 Macmillan Childrens Book Prize, I have received 'Highly Commended' for my wordless narrative, Foxly's Feast. Below is the cover but if you wish to see more of the book, there are more images under the book section on my website: www.owendavey.com

INTO THE WILD

This was an editorial piece that I did about a month ago. Its about how Bon Iver's Justin Vernon hid out in his father's hunting cabin in Wisconsin after splitting with his girlfriend and contracting glandular fever.

THE GLASS HALF FULL

Yet another book cover to add to the collection. This one consists of the optimistic thoughts of contemporary philosophers.

WEST SIDE STORIES

Another book cover for your viewing pleasure. Its for a book of short Westerns, including 3:10 to Yuma...this was recently made into a film directed by James Mangold (the guy that did Walk the Line).
