Quick bit of painting on a damp miserable day

Bit of a quickie out painting with 3rd Eye. This is a rather stripped down version of what I had planned as it was a Cold damp day. Wet paint and my rudimentary wall painting skills helped form this beastie with poo horns. Below is the design of the tribute piece I had in mind to do for the little un - will sort out doing it on a bigger better wall soon.

Hip Hop Lounge

I have recently redesigned the logo for the club night Hip Hop Lounge in Bristol. Writing based around awkwards handstyle. All the objects are a combination of old granny style lounge things and hip hop stuff.

Alot of things in it are quite old skool...I have included -

Ski goggles
paint pens
spraypaint
kangool hats
adidas shell toes
Nike hi tops
courvoiser brandy
head phones
humpty humps nose
forty ounce bottle
blunts
name belt buckle
chains
ornament of west moreland house
tupac ornament that you can buy from shop on stokers
mf doom mask
base ball hat

And a load of other stuff!

The Hip Hop Lounge is dedicated to showcasing Bristol's artists across the elements with the overall aim to further the music and culture in a positive way. It is run by a collective of promoters and artists representing a cross section of Bristol's Hip Hop community on a not-for profit basis. The Hip Hop Lounge needs your support so that it in turn can support Bristol's homegrown talents. Hip Hop is not a spectator sport!

It's at the Croft, Bristol, Friday 27th February 9-3 £5/6. More infor above...

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.
