goodbye to all my old crap pt.1 (scrap metals)

the cornish owlman

Not only did I find my dream suit (all 3 pieces for £6 pounds) in Age Concern this week, I also picked up Janet and Colin Bloods 'Alien Animals' a "world wide investigation into lake monsters, gigantic birds & birdmen, black dogs, mystery pumas & bigfoot". I just had to post this picture from the book.

postal project

I've started a new project; postal exquisite corpse. i'm sending out part completed exquisite copses to various people to finish off, at the end of it i'm going to make a small publication and exhibit the work. I've already got some great people on board, if you're up for it just email me your postal address to:

and i'll post one out.

news not olds

i've handed in all my practical work for my major project, as well as an A3 book, I produced ltd edition A5 handbound copies and tee shirts. the tee designs are illustrations of recently desceased celebrities, so far i've only printed some proofs but i'll be printing small runs of them soon. they're all hand printed and come packaged with a signed/numbered print of the design. the books and shirts will hopefully be available to buy soon so stay tuned.



these are images of a proof of the A5 books, the final versions are much higher quality prints with a hand stitched binding:



my work will be in the leeds uni school of design Ma exhibition in june.

an imaginary update

I finally got round to making some copies of the little book of imaginary. Im making 21 in total, number ones already gone to a happy home. Each book is A7 size, hand bound and numbered, the covers are in 7 different colours. I'll be selling them in Leeds soon and I'll post up where and when, i think I'll set up an etsy shop so you can buy them online too.

While we're on the topic, my brother has made a book called Negative Memory which will be available to buy soon. Check it out, ITS VERY GOOD.

black dice

the boys at Stop Making Sense asked me to do a new poster campaign for them, a play on Barak Obamas 'Hope. Action. Change.' posters. As a thanks I got a ticket to go see Black Dice at the Roadhouse in Manchester last saturday night (wierdly enough the name of the venue where my favourite band played is also the name of the bar in twin peaks which I've been watching alot whilst making my book which I entered for d&ad. surely a good omen?)



i've been losing faith recently but a small black bird with a red beak told me to continue at design last friday morning while I was having a cigarette and waiting for a print shop to open (its a long story, and he didnt actualy talk, I know birds cant talk). Anyway I thought I'd post up the new SMS posters as well as the old ones from last year:

d&ad

I've been literaly flat out finishing my entry for the d&ad student awards for the last three weeks or so. I havent done anything else except worry about my blood pressure/bank balance. The deadline was the 20th and acording to the post office my entry arrived on the 19th safe and sound. The brief I entered was entitled Identity and set by Paul Davis, I had to produce an A3 size, 16 page, hardbound illustrated book. The book I made was entitled the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary, i'd describe it as a cross between the Very Hungry Catterpillar and the Outsider. Im a superstitious person, as the great Dale Cooper once said "coincidence and fate figure largely in our lives", this book was shaped by these things and I think I have a good feeling about it. Until the judging begins however lets all cross our fingers, salute the magpies and dont step on any cracks......
