Merry Christmas!

Here's a little festive image to get you in the mood.

Gated Communities

This week I've produced another illustration for The Times Higher Education Magazine. This weeks topic was about widening access to universities to people from under priveledged backgrounds. Here's the drawing:

Christmas postcards for the Boathouse

Working again with the Boathouse I've been producing some promotional postcards for them to cover the festive season. Doing them has made me want to travel for 10 hours just to sit in the pub to be honest...

Old Ones are the Best Ones

Here's an image I produced recently for the Times Higher Education Magazine. The article was about universities targetting OAPs when the new fee rise comes in as according to current rules the vast majority of them wouldn't pay anything back to the student loans company before they pop it.

Top Lip Sinking

For the end of Movember The Boathouse is having a party: Top Lip Sinking

Here's the poster:

FORE-ty

Here's a birthday card I did for a golf enthusiast member of the family who recently turned 40.

Urban Twist

I was asked recently to do a more "urban" piece for a feature.

A little different to what I usually do but here's what I came up with:

Cuckoo go Most Haunted

I've recently been working with award winning design studio Cuckoo on a little Halloween piece.

“Some bright spark came up with the idea that the Cuckoo team should spend the night of Sunday 31st October, Halloween, locked inside the studio, Most Haunted-style. In the dark, with only torches, some pizza, a cheeky beer… maybe even Yvette Fielding and Derek Acorah for company,”

I worked on this little piece to advertise the goings on:

Bologna wrapped up

Finshed Peter and the Wolf as my entry to next years Bologna Children's Book Fair and it is now in the post.

Here are the final 2 images for the series.

More on Peter and the Wolf

Here's the next 2 for my Bologna entry:

Peter and the Wolf

I've been working on a version of Peter and the Wolf for the Bologna book fair. This is the first "finished" piece so far. Any thoughts are welcome

Vampire considers Vegetarianism

So, I was asked to put a piece of work in "Vampire Art Now" and didn't have anything to suit so I had to whip the pen out. Here's the result

















I've decided to call this one "Look at Those Cherries!"

Future Perversions

Here's a cover I've done for new experimental music outfit 'Un-Space Exploration Committee.'

I'm really excited about this project but can't really say anymore until it all goes live though.

New Boathouse postcard

A new postcard for The Boathouse produced with a slightly different approach than usual

Lobcocks and Fartleberries

So, as many of you know I've been working on a book of 18th Century slang for a while now. Here's 5 of the final drawings, with their relevant quotes, I've done for the interior of the book which will be out just before Christmas from "Summersdale Publishing" to act as a nice little stocking filler.

I'll have quite a few copies of it to sell personally if you want one.


















"Look at that Gotch-Gutted Jackweight! If he were any more hopper-arsed his inexpressibles would be in danger of tearing."

















“What a fine and fertile fubsey we have here! Bitch booby or not, I’ll disbelieve any man who would deny the urge to polish the kettle drums of that young chick-a-biddy.”

















“Hop the twig you poxy bung nipper, before I have you hauled away in sherrif’s bracelets and shut in a cell with only your ars musica and a rancid remedy critch for company!”


















“There’s a hatchet-faced cloak twitcher if ever I saw one – those darkened day lights make him look slyer than Old Scratch himself. No doubt he’s escaped a collar day or two in his time.”


















“Away with you bantling, before you catch a swift clip to the back of your catsticks! Fed with a fireshovel were ye, you pestering powder monkey?"

Look at that Gotch-Gutted Jackweight!

After recently doing the cover for a new book on 18th Century vulgar slang I've been reapproached to do the inside illustrations too. Heres a sample:

Czesław Niemen

Here's an image of Czesław Niemen which is soon to be gracing the chests of many on some fancy T-Shirts. More on that later, here's the image:

Once again...

Here's one for VE day.



















I'll make it my mission to make sure I upload something other than a Boathouse poster on here this week too. It's starting to look repetitive

Yet another Boathouse poster

Ok, so I'm beginning to see a pattern on here, but here's the newest poster

Rabbie Burns

Burns Night is upon us and here's the poster for said evening at The Boathouse, Falmouth
