Illustration Now Vol.4

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.

Talk at New Designers 2010

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.

Writing for Varoom Magazine issue 12

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

Hung, Drawn & Captured @ Prague Bar 1/11/09 till 6/12/09

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I submitted my otherwise unpublished and unseen illustration of Dan Deacon.
