Garden Parties & Lock-Ins

A couple of mail out ideas - my grandparents owned a pub which inspired the pub themed illustration, and a garden party seemed like a fitting companion. 

Oh Comely Issue 7

Issue 7 of Oh Comely magazine is out and has more amazing stuff including beautiful photography, beetles and board games, so as always well worth a read. Also features Jack Hudson & Jacob Stead, so what more could you want really. I was asked to illustrate a favourite film or TV show so I chose a scene from 'Some Like it Hot' because I love it.

 

Black and White Sketches/Excavate

A quick black and white illustration of a scene from 'I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive' and a few beach type things i drew on my way to cornwall.

Also from cornwall the illustrations for the Excavate exhibition:

Morgawr

So today brings a small preview of my Excavate Falmouth work - this one's the Morgawr. If you're down that way you can check it out in person (kind of) and pick up an Excavate mobile art pack from the Poly. I'll post more work and info after the launch!

June/July

A long overdue update - since I last posted I've had two shows so things have been busy! First was D&AD:

This was our stand, but there was lots of other great work there too.

Then we had the graduation show at Redchurch St which i somehow failed to take any photos of & I also had a really useful meeting with Paula and Louise from Walker Books. I've also been doing work for the Excavate Project down in Falmouth, so have been quite busy!

I'm also doing some new projects - illustrating covers and/or inside images for every novel i read and some other personal work, so there will be lots of new work uploads soon.

Book Covers

Mock up book covers for three evelyn waugh novels

(fairly) new work!

Some more shanty related stuff - this is from Fiddler's Green which is not technically a shanty but is pretty good and sea related, so counts in my book.

"Where the skies are all clear and there's never a gail

And the fish jump on board with one swish on their tail

Where you lie at your leisure, there's no work to do

And the skipper's below making tea for the crew"

"Now when you're in dock and the long trip is through

There's pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there too

And the girls are all pretty and the beer is all free

And there's bottles of rum growing on every tree"
