I’ve been busy illustrating on a bunch of new designs for Italics & Bold, a rad new LA-based clothing line myself and some friends are working on. Italics & Bold is launching soon, i’ll keep you posted on the details, but in the meantime here’s s sneak peek at one of my tee prints.
Cheap dates, roller skates, milkshakes n’ belly aches.
The Kids Are Losing Their Minds piece I made for Wooden Toy’s rad Lyrics & Type show a few months back is available to buy online HERE.
Prints are limited to only 20 copies sold. They are GICLEE printed on archival quality 180gsm italian cotton rag and are A1 (590mm x 840mm). Each print sold comes with a complimentary Lyrics and Type zine which is a super awesome little publication that showcases all the works exhibited at the Lyrics & Type show. Not a bad way to blow some money.
The annual Jacky Winter Group show is happening very soon. As to be expected with the Jacky Winter kids, there’s a host of rad illustrators involved plus a percentage of all sales will be donated to Medecins Sans Frontieres (that’s Doctors Without Borders for those who don’t speak French) to assist with the Haiti crisis. Opening night is February 4th from 6 – 9pm at Lamington Drive Gallery. Click here for all the details. Badda bing!
A couple of months ago I fooled around with creating typography from my illustrations. The result was The Kids Are Losing Their Minds which was exhibited at the Lyrics And Type exhibition. Here’s some more typography, this time comprising a whole bunch of animals drawn with sharpies. The Vegans Are Alright – This goes out to you Mari.
While on the topic of little features, the awesome Alice Edgeley (above) just posted some of my work up on WAMP NATION. I’m returning the favor by advising y’all to do yourselves a favor and check out the radness that is WAMP NATION. Not only do the WAMP kids run a tight blog they also all have exceptional hair and are some of the best dancers i’ve ever seen. Thanks Alice!
The good folk at Spraygrahic.com just released a small feature and interview with me on sprayblog.net.
Here’s a couple of reasons to check it out, firstly you can see just how bad i am at answering interview questions and secondly you can see how awesome Sprayblog is.
It’s taken me about 3 weeks to finish this drawing. I started strong, but just couldn’t work out what to do with it. I kept adding things, taking them away, adding more things and taking them away too. Then came the distractions. First I got distracted by a bunch of illustration jobs with impending deadlines. Then I got distracted by the Special Empanadas at Trippy Taco and then I got distracted by Wes Anderson – or his films anyway. So finally, after watching The Royal Tenenbaumss and Rushmore for the gazillionth time I got back to this drawing – and finished it!
Here it is. Now I’m off to celebrate with a burrito.
