Professional Manager

My latest portrait for Professional Manager Magazine: Ben Walker, group editor. 

Thanks again to Darren Endicott at Think.

Whats the point of Art School?

They let me in the Royal Academy! 

The magazine that is..... a slight diversion in style towards a more cartoony approach for this. 

Whats the point of art school? Look closely and you'll see sheep pickling, just sitting, making something out of found body hair, and interpreting the naked body in paint. Ah, golden years.

Thanks to Eleanor Mills, and Sarah Greenberg.

still sleepers

Sorry for the lack of blog posts of late - been working on some exciting new things which will be revealed over the next few weeks. In the meantime I went outside and got on a train and watched the sunrise over the gentle hillocks of Kent whilst speeding backwards to London.

There are still sleeping people on the train. Heres 4 pages of muttering, swaying dreamers.

Artists' Open Houses 2012

I'm really excited to be part of this year's Artist's Open House Art Trail. I'll be showing some of my paintings in house number 4 in Whitstable (161 Cromwell Road), along with Paul Elliott, Kimmy MCharrie, Vicky Hageman, Tom Swift, and Julie Bevan. Its on for the next 3 weekends, so if you're around and about in Whitstable have an adventure around the trail, look at some great art and pop along. Hopefully see you there!

Last Slice

After 8 years of drawing Mr Hodges' adventures in and around south London, Time Out becomes free and the last Slice of Life is sliced and axed.

Theres been good times, bad times, drunken brawls, jazz sex, sperm fairys, hoodies, murder hounds, pavements strewn with chicken bones, angry red dog's balls, happy pink squirrel's balls, Boris Johnson in speedos, booze, dog poo, childbirth, tube bombs, art galleries, foxes, traffic jams, lunatics, ancient stone penises, spitting, poledancers, parrots, nazi art students, Darth Vader police vans, good deeds and bad deeds, Croydon riots and everything.

A big thanks to Hidge for 8 years of fabulous award winning writing - Its been brill and always exciting!

And of course another big thanks to Richard, Sim, Ellen, Anamaria, and everyone at Time Out for giving me the opportunity, putting up with my mad layout ideas and pestering.

Raise a glass of a pint of wine! 

Heres to Slice of Life, cheers!
