Illustration Magazine Feature

Came across this in the library today at Uni, hence the 'NOT TO BE TAKEN AWAY' sticker.  A little feature in the graduates pages of Illustration Magazine - very pleased!  I just wish that I'd sorted out a website back when they asked for the info.  Oh well; big thankyou to Ruth Prickett for getting in touch!

Can't imagine this is particularly interesting for anyone other than myself.

McMeeken

I'm very happy to inform that an extremely talented individual named Euan McMeeken has agreed to create the score for the animation that I am still, feverishly, working away on.  He's part of a few musical projects but will be working on this as Glacis.  We're also going to be working together on a couple of other things, but it was after hearing his music that I knew what he does would be perfect for this, and I'm extremely grateful that he has agreed to so enthusiastically.  He's real good and extremely talented and I couldn't be happier and more keen to see what he makes once the animation is finished (I should really come up with some working title for it).

He's also set up mini50 records in Edinburgh, and has signed some really nice artists to the label.  You should definitely go have a look and listen and give your support over at the mini50 bandcamp page.  And also have a look through Euan's blog, the man's got real good taste.

Space Dust

Rather than doing any work this evening, ended up making a pretty synthy playlist.

We admit we are like animals, but what we seldom realise is

I have been working, honestly.

Some things...

Hello, thought I'd just do a little catch up.

Making Progress exhibition a couple of weeks ago was real nice; we were there for a week and had quite a few people interested in the work and plenty more who weren't too keen.  Big thankyou to Camille McCawley for organising everything; more photos of the work over on her blog.

Added a few more original drawings to my shop the other day as well.  PLUS having an April sale with 15% discount if you use the code APRILSFOOL.  Hard times are upon us.

SHOP LINK HERE, YEAH?

And lastly, here's part of my submission for the very fun sounding WOW Gorillas project in Bristol.  This is part of the larger design that I submitted (excuse the weird quality scan) that, understandably, wasn't successful; I made a bit of a hash of the whole application, if I'm honest.  Really looking forward to seeing the finished gorillas standing around Bristol when they're completed!

Quiet here, isn't it?

Weiner

The winner of the mixtape giveaway, chosen at random last night, is Lustrous Chemistry! His chosen song, which I presume he doesn't mind me sharing, was John Barry's A Dolls House, which pleases me greatly as it is an excellent piece of music and I look forward to making the mixtape!

Making Progress

If you're in Cheltenham this week you should definitely come to Beechwood Arcade where I am part of an exhibition featuring some very talented folks.  The exhibition's called Making Progress and runs from Monday - Sunday, more info here.  The opening is on Monday 4 - 6pm (it's in a shopping centre so we get kicked out then, sadly - but you could then move on to another opening featuring more talented folk afterwards)

Animating (I'm animating at the moment, can't remember whether I said) is slow!  But looking kind of nice.  2 months to finish it.  Achievable?  Maybe...

How Long?

The collaborative project that I have been working on with Sandra Dieckmann (for aaaaaages) is now available to purchase!  Don't know whether I've shown the final images before - so here they are.  It's been a privilege to work alongside such a talented person and I am very proud to be able to call her a good friend now, as well.  Look out for more collaborative projects between us in the future!
