drawing

Having managed to temporarily convince myself i hate drawing, pickings from this summer are slim.

Instead i have watched a LOT of films, bought even more junk from car boot sales and got myself a job at Tate. I'm also in the process of setting an etsy shop up, bear with me and have a look.

House of Atreus zine

In the penultimate week of June this year I made (having previously been asked to do so) 35 hand screened zines about the House of Atreus from scratch. I also decided not to sleep for 3 nights, missed a good friend's birthday and almost didn't go on a holiday booked months ago in order to finish said zines. And all to be told "thanks but we've handed the brief over to Central St Martin's Graphics course". What a refreshing decision!

photos for Heather

last week i took some photos for my pal Heather Orr for her grad show at the RCA. i spent most of yesterday grading and mucking about with them and these are my faves.

keep an eye out for Heather, her work is pretty special. this collection was inspired by animal skin.

London Zine Symposium

Our table




It was soo busy.

I foolishly stayed up till 7AM the night before to hand paint a series of 35 zines, of which I sold the grand total of 1 (thanks Miriam!). It was a good day nonetheless, saw lots of friends & everyone had made really nice work. In the picture at the top Siobhan's looking pretty smug because her brill Little Book of Owls is about to make her a millionare. You can also see Haru's amazing animal mirror & Chie's pretty handsewn badges of honour.

I've still got 34 handpainted Freak Show zines, a couple of fluro printed versions plus some pretty stickers to sell/swap, drop me an email if you want one.
