If Cosmic did blackboards..

It has been some weeks since I posted anything.. time has really flown by. I have been involved with some varied projects recently and can report more about them soon.

Currently, as part of my freelance practice I provide an art and design service and I try to meet almost any needs. I get lots of varied requests, sometimes I have to adopt a whole new technique or adapt to new materials, other times it is as simple as.. Pen- Wall- Draw!

xmas "legal graffiti"

good morning, happy new year and happy new second decade of the millenium folks!

i realised i hadnt posted anything about the xmas season. if you were in cornwall over the christmas period you may have noticed lots of artwork popping up on windows..? no? where ya been looking? anyway, nearly all of that window art is my work. i always sign them and leave some clues and other hidden references.

this year just gone, i didn't just decorate cornwall but made it up-country as far as bath! here are some pics:

all the best for 2010!

cosmic on blue peter

a very surreal experience.. i was asked to go on the time-honored kids show to help kids draw on t-shirts for the new blue peter appeal.. 'send a smile' to raise money for operations for children in india born with cleft lips and cleft pallets by, unbelievably, sending a customised t-shirt.

..and then by further customising the tee into a hospital gown in simple steps (demonstrated on this programme by girls aloud ).

a very good cause and worthwhile project to take part in. so, get customising

the show can still be seen on bbc iplayer for a few more days

GET STONED WITH COSMIC JAGGER This thursday nite, perranporth

i used to do some stones gigs with very competent musician friends, we were called the Cosmic Stones (previously to that, the Rolling Pancakes- its a long story!) the line-up changed quite a bit and lots of very loud, late and heady nights were had by all.

so last week i get a call from bono.. "you wanna do a gig?". "sure, bono! i'll be there!! give my love to ireland and the edge" . "its not that bono.. its ryan bono jones from the hitchcock rules..".

it was too late, i had said ill do it.. and just because this bono doesnt wear wrap-around sunnies and hang out with handlebar mustachios.. actually he might! ..but its still no reason to go back on my word.

This Thursday, 3rd sept

Seiners, Perranporth

8pm-late am

down by the beach car park

lots of other stuff too, cheap beer, loose women, rock n roll excess, tv's out the window.. you get the idea

BACK TO FISTRAL FOR ANOTHER QUIKIE!!

drawing for quiksilver again this weekend!!! fistral beach quiksilver surf showdown 09, also with legendary guitar manufacturers gibson! live music, surf comp and much booze-ridden excitement!!!! ..and hanging out on the gibson tour bus!!

i have no idea what ill be doing constructively, but it will involve drawing on stuff, having fun, surfing, enjoying the music and beer, and hopefully sun, .. you get the idea!! ::)))

..i was just explaining this to a friend, beth, i bumped into just now in the villiage shop. we were talking about what were doing for the weekend, she says "i need a job where i get to do what i enjoy!" i said "what do you enjoy?" and the conversation lead onto photography, travel, food (but not a chef!), maybe organizing foodie nights, etc and i suggested blogging as a way to share and focus on her interest..

..kind of reminded me why i started this.

..so when beth starts her blog ill post a link here. she suggested a great name.

have a good weekend! come to newquay!!
