Am very proud to say that I was given 4-pages in the new Taschen publication Illustration Now vol.4
Am mostly proud because I get to share the book with some of my most admired contemporaries, such as David Foldvari, Mimi Leung, Stuart Kolakovic and fellow Hoxton Window Project contributor McBess.
I was invited to take part in the publication and festival ‘Shoreditch Unbound’ – a festival that celebrates the history and culture of Shoreditch and it’s inhabitants.
With a limited run of 3k, i had three illustrations included. Also had 300 of them personally signed for a charity Art Against Knives.
Available for a few book shops in London, New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo. Otherwise, best be going online.

Did a talk at the New Designers 2010 exhibition in Islington with Emma Houlston. Did not have the foresight to film the event or even take pictures, but did manage to take a photo of the promotional banner in the lobby.

Was commissioned by Varoom Magazine for two articles on the future of illustration. Interviewed LA-based digital artist/image maker and creator of Processing, Casey Reas who uses software as his sole media. Second interview is with the digital guru, Karsten Schmidt about his software that illustrates each individual book cover for Faber & Faber’s print on demand series. Does not make for light reading i’m afraid to say. Purchase your copy here

A big thanks to everyone who made it to the opening night especially James & Jamie for the flyer and website design. Big turnout and good reception. The show is running till 31st of January so drop by if your are passing. (click here to see the mural painting process)
I was invited by Deborah Ridley to take part in the group show of illustration at Prague Bar.
The show sees the coming together of an excitingly diverse range of work from 11 of the best illustrative artists around, some new faces and some already well-established artists. Work ranges from newly graduated Louise Naunton Morgan’s painstaking ‘human printer’ drawings to the more established Paul Ryding’s striking mix of intricate detail and bold geometry.
I submitted my otherwise unpublished and unseen illustration of Dan Deacon.
