Today I got up super duper early so I could go and scribble over the walls of Bobbin Bicycles before the shop opened. FUN. I’ve just started work on some wooden signage for the inside walls, which meant a trip to the timber yard (where I wangled myself some free wood for being smiley-YESSS) and the purchase of a spangly new coping saw. More treats to follow. Stay tuned.

A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of doing a portrait for the lovely chaps at Howies. The drawing is of a guy called Bengt who sounds COOL who lives in Sweden and fixes things. He fixed Jon’s bike. It will hopefully be appearing in the Winter Catalogue, so while you’re flicking through the hot-stuff jumpers and thermal attire EYES PEELED.

Here are some drawings I have been working on to illustrate fellow King of England pal, Davey Spens’ short story ‘Smoking Bees.’ If you were wise enough to purchase Jonathan Cherry’s publication ‘Blue Watch,’ you may have read it whilst poring gladly through your newly acquired book of aceness. Davey and I have teamed up with some AMAZING artists for an exhibition this Friday night in London, Sketches for the Unemployed. The deal: if you have no job you get our free art. So, if you’re in the smoke Friday pop on down to Battersea and share the fun times, if you’re not, go buy Chez’s book and have a nice evening at home reading it. It’s a win win situation.

Pixellation Station. Unfortunately this drawing was hanging in a show in an old VW garage, so the paper got damp and couldn’t be bothered to stand up straight anymore. Which vexed me. (I haven’t used the word ‘vex’ in quite some time) I would have also preferred a Volvo garage, but that didn’t vex me nearly as much.

This is the finished window artwork for the bicycle shop. It might be tricky to see on here as it is LARGE. They are currently being printed onto vinyl by a man who can. I went to see the magical printing machines last week. They were the biggest printers I have ever seen in my whole life. Now I am awaiting delivery. Nervously.

I’m currently working for the lovely folk at Bobbin Bicycles, designing and illustrating their new shop in Islington. I’ve just finished the drawings that are going to cover the window. Here is a peek at a small section of one of the panels.

These drawings are for my housemate’s wedding invitation. She is actually no longer my housemate as she now has to go live with a boy. Gutted. Note: I can also do invitations for birthdays and bar mitzvas.

This is a tiny section of one of the big drawings I submitted for the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2009. When I can find someone with big arms to come and carry them from my friend’s house I will put some pictures up of the finished pieces. Unfortunately they didn’t get picked, but it was great seeing my drawings framed, and now the walls of my house will look niiiice.
