Blimey. Is it June already... I thought it was getting warm for february. My theory that the world is speeding up seems to be correct. I won't go into the exact details, but it has a lot to do with wind farms.
May was really, really busy, but as yet I've not got much to show for it. Here are a couple of characters from an idea Joe and me came up with. Its still in early development stages, but we are quite excited by the reception it has got so far.
I'm also working on 2 children's books at the moment and will post pictures when I can. best get back to the drawing board...

Very disappointing

I have just heard that my turtle's head mural at the Grain Barge has been painted over. Some people's level of sophistication is obviously flawed....

Savanna Cider! Mmmmm!

Joe, Dave and Me animated the new campaign for Savanna Cider by DraftFCB, a big London Agency thingy in impossibly shiny offices. And everyone had shiny hair and shiny shoes and me and joe looked like a right pair of bumpkins when we went for a meeting. We did get some free samples of Savanna and it was very nice.... and I HATE cider normally.
The illustrations were done by the very talented Cristina Guitian.

Body Language

just finished an illustration for Dorling Kindersley about body language. Above is an extract. Also been busy trying to think of clever ideas with Joe so that we can become famous and drive around in fancy cars. I'll let you know when we come up with sumfink...

Not posted anything for a while so thought I'd put up a couple of pages from my sketchbook.

Here are some pictures of a stairwell I painted on the Grain Barge in Brizzle last month. Organised by the brain of Mr. Bain it was a fun few days and I got to meet some other illustrators and artists who did some amazing work on other parts of the boat.
Painting on the stairs on the way to the loos probably wasn't the cleverest idea though, but I did get to see toad-like TV presenter Dominic Littlewood come in and use the toilet. He was in there for ages so I can only assume the annoying little runt suffers from constipation. Which would explain his presenting style.

Ice Queen

I was listening to the Adam and Joe radio show the other week and was inspired to draw this picture after hearing Adam describe how he would like to be an Ice Queen's personal dwarf... That's rice in the glass, by the way. Cos the Ice Queen is probbly sick of ice.
