Other People's Photographs book

I've not posted on here for AGES - mainly because I've been so busy, which is good cos it means I have lots to report. In October I was mainly working on this:

I'm really pleased with how it's come out. Other People's Photographs is a public art project by arts company Strange Cargo which involved collecting photographs of people outside in the streets of Folkestone. The result is basically a town's family album, with photographs ranging from 1895 to 2007. This beautiful quality (thanks to the fantastic people at RCS print) coffee table book has 715 of them with the stories provided by their owners, together for the first time, and many of them full page so you can really see the detail.

Anyone into the history of photography, or the social history of English seaside towns, should get a copy - available by contacting Strange Cargo.

Chillingly thrilling!

I've just made this blood-curdling (or at least slightly worrying) poster for Carters Steam... I mean, Scream Fair, at Uxbridge Common next weekend. Come dressed as your favourite terrifying apparition and get the chance to win £50 of free rides!

The Trip Out

The first Trip Out was a great success, held in September in rural Bedfordshire - great company, music, hot rods and bikes! Looking forward to next year already!

They asked me to make all the promotional material for them, posters, stickers, and T shirt designs, and even the showcards for the bike show... it was a pleasure to work with them!

Waspish

I made this logo a little while back for Jonny Wilson of Subscuptures fine art and photography. Jonny takes a great photo!

Tankus the Henge

I've just made this poster for apocalyptic carnival rock'n'rollers Tankus the Henge for their residency in Edinburgh during the Edinburgh Festival. If you're in town, check em out...

Intrepid adventures

My mate Andy Baldwin is a fantastic, inventive sculptor who makes machines as sculpture. Some of his work can be seen on his website here. For the last couple of years he's been building himself a boat, and a few weeks ago he set off on an epic single-handed journey in it across the Atlantic, where he would convert the boat into a land-lubbing vehicle and drive it across Canada.

Unfortunately Canada decided they didn't really want a madman holding up all the traffic in a walking boat, so he's now hoping to drive it around Iceland's highway 1 instead.

This design is what I made for the nameplates of his boat - unfortunately I haven't got any great photos of the boat itself.

Coming soon!

Littleboy's vintage funfair, and website... watch this space.

Carters Steam Fair in Weston Super Mare!

I did these three posters for Carters in Weston Super Mare this summer - if you're in the area you'd better get down there and claim your half price rides before 1pm!!

Ice cool!

I have just been working on a series of illustrations of this polar bear for a large company. He digs sustainability baby...

Hot Rod Hayride

We had a great time at the Hot Rod Hayride this year! Anna Porter asked me to paint a trophy for the best hot rod, so I did this little blingy number on glass... I'm not sure who won it in the end, but there were so many amazing cars there I wouldn't have liked the job of choosing!
