Collage Composition Play pieces all NOW FOR SALE HERE
Warming up for draw and make stuff is kind of ritualistic for me; 
I never feel comfortable sitting down and going straight into a project cold, 
I have to do at least an hour of drawing or playing to loosen up. 
This morning I wanted to do some compositional exercises and came up with 
these nine. I was jumping around listening to Coltrane’s Olatanji concert 
like a deranged lunatic. They started as just the basic shapes and blocks and 
I worked into them this evening. As they’re just small and quick pieces I thought i’d stick them straight up for sale in my shop at the low price of £15 each, any support is always 
appreciated as it literally helps me live.

Sorry it's been so long since my last post! The last few months

have been mad busy; i've moved house and have been working

on my first children's book (I can't say much for now but keep posted!).

So first up I have revamped my web store and now have a tonne

of original art available for sale on there, have a look here. 

I'm going to keep updating it with new original art and

 prints etc. so keep a look out. Next up is a couple of drawings

and collages for a biiiiig ongoing project i'm working on called

The Spectrum. I've been posting lots of bits and pieces from this,

but it's going to culminate in multiple comics, and zines, with several

hollywood studios already showing interest in a film adaptation. Next

is a poster I did for my sisters band, and then the cover a few pages 

from a tiny zine for Jazz Dad Books and finally a sketchbook page ok bye!   

I'm working on my first published book at the moment, so personal

work is on the back burner for the time being. However here are a 

few things I've been upto. The YCN asked me to make some

Toys to sell in their shop (top image) this Christmas. From the left, they are

called Betty M. Jee, Jackie McCLean, Grumpy Dave, Daddy Pablo,

Ms. Perkins and Ma Marie. Next up are some more Toys I made

for the TOYS Exhibition I co-curated earlier in November. I wanted 

to make some more interactive pieces that could move and be played with

(I'm slowly working towards making a short film with my Toys). Next are a few

collage pieces; one for TOYS, one a character called the Flip Flop Philosopher

and an Earth Mother piece from The Specrtral Pilot. Then is the cover for

a small zine to tie in the The Spectral Pilot i'm releasing through Jazz Dad Books.

And finally a happy scan. One day I'll write these blog posts more creatively....   

Some recent things I've been working on.

First up; Toys I made for the features

opener of the October issue of Wired UK (photographed

by Wired), next a bunch of sketchbook pages. I've found

myself working more and more in sketchbooks

recently, trying to escape from stress and get out

of my head for a bit. Next are a few postcards I've

been sending out as part of Postcard Club 

and finally the Logo for TOYS, an exhibition of 

3D work me and my good friends Jayde and Dave are

organizing. Visit the website for loads more info here.   

A few new pieces: a couple of collages made for fun, the first
I've had a chance to do in a while! The first one is of the sun
god watching over magi making a pilgrimage through the desert,
the second is the weatherman. Next is a recommendation
from The Jazz Factory. Quite a few people have asked me for
Jazz recommendations recently, so I thought I would 
revive The Jazz Factory to do just that. Keep an eye on tumblr 
for more of these. Next a teaser for an upcoming show of 
3D work I'm curating with some friends of mine (stay tuned for lots
more on this very soon!). Finally: the cover and a couple of spreads
of a new Sketchbook zine I've made for Jazz Dad Books,
this will debut at Safari Festival at the end of the month!
I've done a couple of interviews recently about Jazz Dad Books,
one with Offlife magazine and another with Comics and Cola.
