New Tiles!!!

This is an illustration I did for the illustrated ape.

A nice detail from a T shirt I did for Paul Smith.

You can never have enough tape so I decided to get some of my own made up!

I have been tagged by Kat Hayes to provide 5 facts about myself and in turn ask 5 others to do the same.

1. I was born on Bonfire Night, my Mum was 34 and my Dad was 33
2. My Mum died on Christmas Day, she was 52, I was 19
3. I met my wife on Bonfire Night, it was my 18th Birthday we are together still 27 years later.
4. 'Our record' is 'You don't love me' by the Epitome of Sound. If you are a Northern Soul fan you will know this record, if you're not then the odds are you wont.
5. I am neurotic, insecure and full of holes. My work is just my attempt at filling them up and patching them over.

I tag
Hazels , Cornelia O'Donovan, Tom Barwick, Kate Gibb, and the lovely Emily. I dont know how to make this names become like things you can click on but they are all included in my links.

New Prints available at my etsy shop.

These are some photos from a Christmas campaign I was working on for Japanese department store Daimaru.

My trusty Assistant Hazel is away for a week on Hols in New York ! Haze come back soon !! I miss you and I don't know how to turn the computer on !!!!!

On Saturday we went to Alicia and Michael's wedding. They asked me to do the wedding invite and the whole thing was a total pleasure and a lot of fun to boot. It was great getting them on it too mainly because they are both so beautiful, but also because Michael has nice long legs which are nice to draw. It was cool having the words in bothe English and Spanish too !!

A dress I collaborated on with Gary Page akthough all I did was a bit of printing on it. The idea is that you buy this dress but when you get bored of it you send it back to Gary and he changes it ie Dyeing, reshaping etc. Its something to do with recycling ! The 2nd to last and last stage has my printing on and then a recut with jewels stuck on. I think it looks a bit of alright.

Speaking of etsy... I've just made these three colour hand printed tiles.

New handprinted thank you cards, free with every purchase from my etsy store.

Finally moved into my new studio. Although I've only moved downstairs at the Mangle into Peepshow Illustration Collectives old space it is much much roomier with a far greater capacity for mischief making ! ! !

Speaking of my book.....
All of the papercuts are being shown at the Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery, 2A Conway Street, Fitzroy Square, London, W1T 6BA.
Gallery opening hours, Monday - Saturday 10am - 6pm or by appointment.
The exhibition will continue until 3rd November.

While Rob is working like a right busy beaver - hanging his show (which opens tomorrow night) he's asked me to show you all these lovely trays which were produced with Ella Doran & Selfridges as part of the London Design festival.

Get 'em while they're hot. (Burnt my fingers on these bad boyz this morning)

This is one of my papercuts which I have mounted onto red card. It will soon be available to buy on etsy as a print, but as I haven't got round to printing them yet i'm not sure what colours it's going to be in.

I've just finished illustrating a story about Sarah the Sad Snail for the wonderful kids mag Anorak . It's art edited by lovely designer Rob aka Supermundane and was a pure pleasure to do.
