The fantastic new Twin Magazine had its launch party at The Tea Building last Thursday. I was asked by the lovely ladies who work there to do a limited edition set of 250 prints to go in the goody-bags. This the image I created for them. Its a beautiful magazine (which is actually more like a book, as it's hard back and with no adverts inside) so keep your eyes peeled for the first issue.

Twin magazine also has a very snazzy new blog, and I was very lucky to be their first official post...

These are some life drawings I did the other week, each one was completed in 10 to 20 seconds. I then worked into them with paint for a project I'm doing on the theme of dressing/undressing.

Thank you to the Zizi illustrators collective, who featured me on their blog recently - its definitely worth checking out, there's some lovely work on their site. Click here to take a look.

I also completely forgot to upload this little lady - Doris. She was from my last project at Kingston called '10 till 3' which is on my website -

Apologies for the serious lack of posting recently, I have been busy settling into the RCA - woop woop!

Degree Show!

Our Kingston 'Fresh Meat' Degree show is on right now and we are moving to Shoreditch Town Hall on the 17th so come and have a look! The poster was designed by myself and Lacyn Clarke.

Portraits at the Day Centre

I did these portraits for the Reportage competition at uni. They accompanied the book below. My main aim was to capture each individual's character in the portraits and to show the sense of community in the book. The book is a concertina, which folds out to a 2 metre spread.

'10 till 3'

These are the spreads from a book I made called '10 till 3' based on a week spent at a Newent House Day Centre for the elderly. It's open seven days a week between the hours of 10 am and 3pm.

'How to get there'

Here's a snippet from a self-promotion project called 'How to get there' that I'm working on for my degree show.

Final Major Project

As you may be able to tell by my previous posts, I did my final major project on the subject of criminals. I have uploaded some photos of what I presented at my crit on flickr, though this is not the final outcome. At my degree show the perspex sheets will form four walls that hang from the ceiling to make a cell-like structure. So the viewer will walk into the room of images rather than experience them just on a wall.

The portraits have been screen-printed onto the perspex sheets, the black images are chalk on blackboard paint and the rest are original images behind the sheets and worked on with pencil and paint.

Here's the link to my the album...

Photogram experiments

At the moment I'm trying to capture the feeling of imprisonment, both mentally and physically locked in a cell.

I took this photo at London zoo. Maybe monkeys get stressed too...

Metropolis

A collaborative project with Rose Delicate Blake, Tiny Dancer, Laura Reclined Bird, Anne Chan, Sarai Vardi, Andy Baker and a casual few more! We have each made our own world in a grid designed by Tom so that they all fit together in one final image. This image is my world. They are currently being screen printed.

There is lots more to come from my 'criminals' project like a new book which will be available to buy in around 4 weeks...

Screen printed eye charts now for sale!

They are £5 each so send me an email to request one!

I'm collecting vintage comic strip titles...

Stoker Thompson

A promotional piece for Pugilist, Stoker Thompson.I made a 'Weeble' style toy that is impossible to knock down, hence he is the ultimate fighter! *** Available to buy! Send request to my email ***

A little sumin sumin!

More Criminals...

This is one of the poster designs I did for the criminals project. Still more to come!

Roller Disco Compilation album

This is the album cover for my chosen theme of Miami Roller Disco in the 70/80s. It is made of only one piece of cardboard that folds out to reveal the scene of the dancing skaters. I wanted it to suggest the appearance of a 70s portable record player whilst using the structure to also capture the fun, playful nature of the era.

Boogie Nights

The house that Jack built

A few drawings of an abandoned house in Virginia, USA. I think this may be the starting point for a project on deserted/haunted houses... we shall see.

A preliminary sketch for the brief 'Conflict'. I chose to portray Feeders and their Feedee lovers... Final images coming soon!

Pug box

1940s Criminals

A series of drawings that I have done this summer on criminals. I like the way that you can never tell who really is evil and who isn't from just looking at mugshots. Some of the characters look completely innocent, but they are all naughty people!

more criminals...

Dental project

For the brief, 'An Unfortunate Accident', I made a short story about an evil dentist who pushes people over so their teeth fall out and they have to come to his dental surgery... $$$$$$! I used images from a photoshoot that I set up as well as photographs that I took of a local dental surgery in the final collages.

Deer chiwawas!

Sight Project

Inspired by 1940s vision tests and the fact that I need to wear glasses 24/7, I made a book that acts as a visual examination. However, the tests are faulty and the experience is intended to confuse the viewer. I wanted to create the experience of feeling deceived by your sight as I feel it is often taken for granted by people who are lucky enough to have 20/20 vision!

Sight Project continued...

Here is a pull-out poster that accompanied the book. I took the design of a modern visual eye test and replaced letters with faces. All of the characters are wearing glasses apart from the bottom line. This was a play on the fact that if you can see the bottom line of eye tests you have perfect vision and do not require glasses!

Royal Festival Hall project

Working with graphic designers as well as the London Symphonietta, The South Bank Centre asked us to produce a visual interpretation of Louigi Nono's classical piece, 'Prometeo'. I installed a 7 metre-high structure made of twigs attached together by cable-ties and string to depict the music's abstract, contrasting and powerful qualities. The exhibition accompanied the opening night of 'Prometeo' at The Royal Festival Hall.

making it....

We had two days to construct it, so we made the structure in 12 sections which we then attached together on the day with the help of a professional rigger.
