Interview with me on BUG

You can catch me rambling on about my name, Bristol, Illustration, Graff and creatures like the Beast of Bodmin over at BUG (Bristol Underground blog).

Tags to Riches

Mentioned this here a while back but have only just managed to track down this documentary on the interweb. I did the written on glass titles for this...

More Russian mag illustrations

I've recently done a couple of illustrations for another Russian magazine - Mamas&Papas parents and childrens mag. This first one is of various places of interest for little un's in Berlin. The Russian text and design really enhance the illustration. I'm quite pleased with the bear - he looks very friendly.





The second one I have done is of an arctic landscape with lots of people and creatures that can be found in that part of the world. I'm really pleased with this one - has a kind of Tin Tin feel to it.




The explorer dude with the beard looks alot like my mate Rich!


I like how the Beluga Whale and the Narwhal have come to the surface to have a chat!

New Orleans Illustration for Blender Magazine

A while ago I did this illustration for US magazine Blender for an article on where to go in New Orleans. I like the Voodoo skulls and steamboat! Yet another place that I have done an illustration on that I would love to go to one day.

BC Version of Stokeadocus

HAPPY NEW YEAR! This was my last painting of 2008 - a special BC version of Stokeadocus. Stokeadocus is the head of a dino beastie that is made up buildings and landmarks of the Stokes Croft area of Bristol where there is lots of Street Art.

The original Stokeadocus painting is available as a poster that promotes visiting the area. It is available from the PRSC.

Canvas and prints at 12 Days of Xmas show

I will have some work in the 12 Days Of Xmas group show in Bristol which opens on 12th December.

I have Giclee prints and very ltd edition screen prints available there along with the rarity that is an Andy Council original canvas - you don't get many of them to the pound. The canvas is 'Edmontractoria', a dinosaur made up of tractors (see pic above).

Painty Mammoth at Children Of The Can Jam

Painted as part of huge production at the new museum of Bristol to mark the launch of the book Children Of The Can - 25 years of Bristol Graffiti. I was asked to start the timeline with a cave painting inspired piece. The stick cave painting figures are having second thoughts about attacking the huge Painty Mammoth with their paint brush spears!

Was quite a fun piece to do as I have been wanting to evolve from Dinosaurs to giant prehistoric mammals for a while.

Wasn't sure what colours would be available, so turned out very bright. Think if to do it again would go for lots of shdes of red and orange and more spray outlines than brush. It was very cold so didn't want to experiment too much!

Very big thankyou to Felix for inviting me to paint and shout outs to all the Bristol and West Country Writers/Artists who took part in this epic jam.

Here's my line drawing I was working from which shows the whole of the beast!
