Happy Tampon & Pad for Bloody Good Period


I recently came across this awesome charity Bloody Good Period, founded by the lovely Gabby Edlin. The charity collects period supplies & toiletries for asylum seekers, refugees and those who can't afford them and seeing as this has also recently been in the news as an issue that is also effecting girls in low income families I wanted to offer my services to help her cause. No menstruating person should have to go through life without these basic supplies!

So please if you can spare some time or money to donate to the cause that would be amazing, you can purchase supplies from Amazon (more ethical retailers are available) and have them delivered straight to the charity or get in touch with Gabby on the website. Here is a happy tampon and pad to thank you for your generosity.

The Gift by Justine Crow // Transmitter Magazine – Christmas Edition 2014

So back in November 2014 (which seems like a very long time ago now!) I created these illustrations to accompany a short story by Justine Crow for Transmitter Magazine, a local magazine created just up the hill in Crystal Palace about all things Crystal Palacey. The story features mysterious presents, a monkey friend and a dark spirit. You can read it in the digital version of it in the magazine below (full screen the magazine and skip to page 58).

Twas a brilliant little project, turns out drawing monkeys is fun! Which is of course obvious and I have no idea why I hadn't realised it before. This dancing little fellow was a pleasure to create indeed.

Folio Society & House of Illustration Competition 2015 // The Folio Collection of Ghost Stories

So I started the year as I have for the past few years, head down and focussed on finishing my drawings for the Folio Society and House of Illustration Book Illustration Competition. Though this year I only heard about the competition a few days before Christmas so it was a seriously mad dash to the finish line. 

Four drawings from conception to completion in two weeks. The last image was completed in 8 hours, setting a new personal best for speed of full page illustration creation! They are based on so a series of creepy old ghost stories, lots of spooky unseen beasts lurk in the depths, mwahahahaha. The three stories and a summary of the book can be read here.

I hope you like my drawings and keep those fingers crossed for me!

STIR Magazine // London School of Financial Arts

I was asked to illustrate an article for STIR Magazine envisaging what the new London School of Financial Arts hackspace might be like. The term hacker in this context being someone who looks at an existing system, dissects it and looks at it in a new way. 

I wanted to created a cosy environment with all the information and technology a young, innovative financial hacker might need to hand.


You can find it in the Autumn issue of the magazine, out on October 8th and available for pre order here.

Ain't no party like an ice cream party!

How in the **** has it been nearly 4 months since i posted anything here. Where has the time gone? I mean obviously I've done a bunch of things in that time I just seem to have failed to document that. This is going to change. 

So here is a little present to you to say sorry for my absence. Take this, make it your desktop and rejoice in the glorious melty joy of it all.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT AN ICE CREAM ORGY, THEY JUST LIKE EACH OTHER A LOT

Drunken Butterflies // Animation

Earlier this year the illustrious Garry Sykes released his first feature film. It's called Drunken Butterflies and is about a group of young girls in Newcastle and the trials and tribulations of everyday life. The imdb sums it up better than I:

Newcastle Upon Tyne, the Twenty-Teens. A romantic, violent, life-changing day in the life of eight teenagers.



It's a brilliant film funny, charming & rather upsetting. If you get a chance to see it I highly recommend it. My contribution to the film was a small piece of animation, a little 'trick' you might say. As a result of this I now have an imdb credit. Oh yeah, I am an animation department, dontchaknow!
