Spindle Magazine
I was commissioned by the lovely folk over at Spindle Magazine to illustrate their contributors page. It was a lot of fun as they were really open with the brief and allowed me to do my thang. Look out for the second issue which will be available in and around Brighton.

Inkygoodness Play Exhibition
I'm very pleased to say that I will be exhibiting work in this years Inkygoodness exhibition at the East Gallery on Brick Lane, London. The show is the fourth instalment of these critically acclaimed shows. Alongside myself are illustrators Simon Wild, McBess, Dave Bain, and Lisa Hassell amongst many other from around the world. The theme is play and I will be selling some rather fetching digital prints for only £15, as well as a custom made jigsaw puzzle which is a lot more. Make sure you join the facebook group to find out more and register your interest. Come along to the private view for some free drinks kindly provided by Kopparberg.

Free game now available to play
The game I designed for the Rack and Ruin club night at Madame Geisha was so successful I have decided to make it available to everyone as a free download. Head on over to my website where you can download the pdf file and print directly from your computer. Cut out the different accessories and you'll have hours of fun making ever more ridiculous combinations.

New twitter background
Some doodles that never quite made it out of the sketch book have had new life breathed in to them. A lot have never been seen by human eyes before (except for mine of course).They have been rehashed and remixed to form my brand new twitter background.

New Rack and Ruin poster
It's that time again! Rack and Ruin is back with another fun night of games, goods and erm... fun! I was asked to produce another poster and I thought I would make it a summery affair. Even going so far as to include the Pride colours. One thing I noticed about the octopus though is that he shares an odd resemblance to Alf Garnet, it's probably the bald head and tache combo.

Rack and Ruin Old Blue game
I was commissioned by Madame Geisha for their Rack and Ruin night to produce a 'pin the tail on the donkey' style game. Asked to use my old blue character I set about devising ever more ridiculous accessories for him to adorn. I'll be putting the game on my site soon so you'll be able to play it at home.

posca doodle
As it's been a while since I've posted much as I've been quite busy. I thought I might post some of the things I've been working on. This is more of a test for another project using posca pens.

I've given my homepage a spring clean as it's been a while, I hope you like my Mexican wrestling cockroach. Watch out because with all those arms he's bound to land a clothes line!
