I really enjoyed listening to Grayson Perry's series of lectures on art for BBC Radio 4 (listen or download these Reith Lectures here). In one episode he mentioned he like's drawing in front of the television while watching crap programs...

It's been far too long since I've organized a Pub Carpet Crawl. Though the last two London crawls were loads of fun, they were not very successful in terms of carpet-count, so I think I had been demotivated a bit by this... But a feature in the December issue of KLM's inflight magazine Holland Herald (yes yes!!!) should be celebrated with another crawl!!

Doodlers Anonymous is a really fun website about ehm well doodling and people who love to doodle. There are interviews, showcases and they've published two colouring books. Recently there was a call for doodlers to submit work for colouring book vol. 3 and here is my entry! It's based on drawings I initially made for a pattern called The Garbage Thief, inspired by William Morris' The Strawberry Thief...

I'm very excited about the upcoming release of the new album by Cardiff-based jazz-gypsie-folk band Miss Maud's Folly. It's being pressed and printed as we speak, so in the meantime here's a little sneak peek of the artwork I did for it...

Less then a mile from where I live, on a rather leak strecht of Mare Street in East London, you will the mysteriously named Last Tuesday Society, a fabulous curiosity museum and shop. Two floors are filled to the brim with stuffed animals, exotic objects like shrunken heads and other oddities...

I'm loving this summer! But as much as I enjoy the heat, the temperatures at the studio are pushing it a bit.. It's been so hot (35C!) I've been forced to take my drawing pad outside. Luckily I live close to two lovely parks. I couldn't resist making some doodles of all the interesting characters that were surrounding me...

Recently I decided I wanted to take my hand lettering to another level. I've always enjoyed doing pretty writing, and would love to do it more in the future professionally. So I got myself a book (Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy - A Step By Step Manueal by Eleanor Winters) and for the last few weeks I've been practicing practicing practicing...

Last evening I had the pleasure of attending a free talk by the makers of Wrap, hosted by YCN in Shoreditch, London. Wrap is one of the most beautiful magazines around. They showcase the best illustrators out there and it’s large size truly let’s them shine...
