Three Years Ago Today

Went to see Daniel Johnston with my mate Pablo. We managed to get front row seats! One of the most memorable gigs ever.

Big fans Kurt and Flea.

West Briton Masthead Competition

I am so pleased to announce this.

This week's cover holds the story. Next weeks' will have the illustration!

My artwork just won a huge public vote competition to be the first ever West Briton newspaper masthead illustration to mark the launch of this year's Truro Festival.

The artwork I created will replace the usual  masthead on the cover of this coming Thursday's edition of the Truro and Mid Cornwall West Briton, something that has never happened in the newspaper's 200 year history.
I am very happy about this indeed!

I was up against three other artists, all published illustrators who are based in, or from Cornwall: Caroline Pedlar who's work has been published in over 50 books, Nick Brennan an comic illustrator and cartoonist for many famous titles including Dandy and the Beano, and Keith Sparrow, a highly published illustrator and Manga style comic artist.

My work for this was produced on a 6ft canvas using Boardstix paint pens and Pentel markers and then resized on Photoshop to fit the top of the newspaper front page. Even this is a lot smaller than my usual work and probably as small as i would like to work with this much detail.

To celebrate I'll be turning up in various locations to produce drawings for people for free. There will also be some of my artwork on display and some canvases that I have produced to recent demand.

The first place I will be at is at Aggie Newsagents 8am Thursday 3rd April, then the West Briton stand at Truro Festival, at Truro Lemon Quay from 10am on Saturday 5th April.

Movember 2010

With less than 24 hours to go before the event, I was asked to do these illustrations by Bacardi for the Movember party in Newquay last month.

Carve Magazine Illustration

This month my first illustration for Carve is published!

Carve is a great surf magazine, been going for donkies' years and is a cornerstone of British surfing.

I am very proud and pleased to be illustrating for them.

Your local newsagent should have some copies. If he doesn't, bug the s*** out of him til he does!

Treneer Wall Project

I ran a workshop of young people from Penzance's Treneere estate for them to design some images, which they did really well! for me to then paint on a wall and some shutters. A great project to be involved with. I finished the wall today, here are some pics ...

Q Bar: Update 1

The bar re-opened on Saturday. It was supposed to be Friday but, despite everybody's best efforts, five days was not long enough to do a complete re-furbishment of a bar of this size!

I pre-designed the furniture and managed to get it built from scratch in these five days too.

Stuck around long enough on Saturday to see the bar get absolutely full! :)

Here are a couple of pics of the artwork during the hectic five day project:

The bar is complete and open and the artwork is still in progress so if you call in you can see it as I complete it.

More pics and finished bar and artwork coming soon..
