Only in Whitehaven.

Can't even get these for free...

One of the better finds.

I didn't buy this, i'm regretting this decision.

It's not Thrasher Magazine but it's a start.

I should've been a tattoo artist.

A trip to town.

A hungover me and Lauren Quinn stumbled across this 1974 newspaper after ratching through charity shop furniture, and well i wanted it. We took it to the park and read some of the stories, miles better than what you see nowadays.

It was a good day as i also found a drawing of a dinosaur, it came to mind that some poor kid is out there, dinosaurless, but i decided not to care and kept it.

A lack of blogging.

Having a blog gives you a kind of responsibility, even though it isnt in writing or a rule you feel that you have to blog regularly, well i do. I have lacked in blogging but it has been the easter break and i am mac-less due to something amazing doing something clumsy.
I'll be blogging again soon and i'll be putting up my latest project so watch this space.

Till then here's a few shots of my latest experimentation at a mac (but not mine).

This is it.

Me and my friend Ross Zajac each have the oppurtunity to skate the invite only adidas competition down in London, i speak on behalf of us when i say that we're absolutly stoked to be chosen to represent S4 skate shop in the competition. I've waited too long for an oppurtunity like this to come around so i'll be giving it 'absolute beans' when i'm there.

Adidas skateboard competition information

Steven insisted.

'Photoshop manipulation dog' thanks to this search i found this.

What a good find.

Work Pattern.

It is going well.

Photoshop.

...is bangin'.

Click on the picture to enlarge, it be made from dots.

Corporate identity (signage system).

Here's my final two A2 boards showing the signage system for my UK space agency building. I'm going to put a few paragraphs here and there to help explain some of the elements the pictures and conceptual drawings don't fully explain. Any thoughts or opinions would be awesome.

Balmoral road EP launch night.

Here's a poster i designed for my friends band, its at the source cafe and i think you should go to it, i was pleasantly surprised by what i heard when i first listened to them, so click 'attending'...

Looking at these posters really inspired me to try one myself. It feels good to have done something.

Illustrator.

I know this isn't the most awesome thing you've seen done on it but i'm finally getting it down. Finally.

Ok, photoshop played a little part in the second one. Just a little part.

Concrete's 7?!

Concrete's 7th birthday party, this night'll be well sick. Get down.

Ah, they grow up so fast.

I love my dogs.

And i hate my cats.

Cats are not 'this' cool.

It's what i do.

Illustration friday.

Warning is the topic.

Be warned of any dog that can carry teacups on its head.

The excuse.

For not really starting this new project yet...

...it'll pass.

In bad taste.

My second poster for concrete, its for a bad taste party and should be a well sick night.

I have Stephen Arthur to thank for this one, he's a boss on illustrator.

Big Fat Logos.

I just cant accept logos, however, i'm not too disappointed with this one.

Insanity:

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Illustrator.

It makes me want to rip my own face off.

Sticking to the promise.

Another post, thats like 2 in a week now. Go on Dylan lad.

Anyways, this is a poster i designed for 'crystal disco, lost in space', its at concrete and the past one's have been well sick, bit mad, but never the less sick. Be there.

I hope to get more opportunities like this one.

A Very Short Introduction.

First brief and post of 2011, its on book covers and its banging. heres a few shits and pieces ive managed to end up with whilst playing about.


New years resolution: update blog more.

The Finger skateboard catalogue.

What a project. Four weeks of madness, ideas, drawings, photographs,  typography and sausage sandwiches but here i am, alive.

A thanks to Hannah, Hugh, Glenn, Lee, Sam, Rachy, Lucy, Tom, Gary, Stephen and the rest, not for them i'd probably be sitting in a corner weeping right now.

Here's a few of my spreads, the rest will be up very shortly.

S4.

I'm really keen to get involved with the local skateshop in any way.
So i did a few potential flyers that would promote S4, i dont know what to do with them or where the ideas are going as of yet but this one seems to fit best.

C'est Fini.

Edinburgh fringe festival leaflet, finished.

i hope you like.

Coming along nicely.

This is a project based around the Edinburgh fringe festival, its been really practical and hands on, ive really enjoyed it so far.

My friend painted a photo i'm in.

Didn't even know he could paint.
