Ok it was wet, but it's always great when the Green Man Festival weekend arrives after working on the design side all year, top weekend all round, and blinding set from The Flaming Lips...

 
   
   
   


I've been working with POKE music all year, from identity to stationery to sleeves to website, and at last putting the finishing touches to the first 6 digipack releases, i'll post em up as soon as they're in...

 
   

JULY 2010_

At last, AT LAST, i'm live. Sorry we've been away. x

JUNE 2010_

For the last few weeks we've been working on the new album and single campaign for KANO. And the album's a killer - featuring the likes of Damon Albarn, Hot Chip and Wiley, and mixed by Prodigy collaborator Neil Mclellan... it's a really exciting project all round. There's gonna be a full tour around the release date at the beginning of September, alongside K's dates with Gorillaz of course. We're keeping the artwork under wraps for now, but here's a download only track available on itunes now...

 
   

Reverend & The Maker's main man Jon has been playing out at clubs under the moniker of Reverend Soundsystem. We're working on the album and EP sleeves, both printed in metallic silver and black then hand-stickered, and being released by Wall Of Sound in the not-too-distant future.

 
   

I've managed to get an EDITIONS section up and running on this new site, which i'll endeavor to update every few months. I've also found a few prints from last year's 'Helter Skelter' run of 50.

 
   


I've just illustrated another cover for the June issue of Viva Lewes. Kind of Oz Magazine meets the World Cub and Woodstock, if you get the picture.

 
   

Free Range is back! This is the 10th year, and we've been on board as designers since day one. We made it down to the opening night last week and it was impressive as ever. As always we've designed this year's identity, brochure, posters and signage. More in the PROJECTS section

 
   

The Lewes Psychedelic Festival 2 hit town last week, featuring the likes of Voice Of The Seven Thunders, Soundcarriers & Kontakte live. Plus Richard Norris, Doug Shipton and a certain Insect on the decks. I've had a run of limited A2, 3-colour screenprints made, available in the EDITIONS section, which hopefully sum up the atmosphere of the night (below)...

 
   
   
   
 
   

MAY 2010_

This month sees The Brighton Freakshow roll into town (www.brightonfreakshow.com). I've produced two new A1 screen prints for the show and Josh at White Duck (who's printed them) kindly sent me the pics below of the whole process. The prints are gonna be for sale in the EDITIONS section of this site next month. Here's the show spiel:
Brighton Freakshow is a carefully hand selected illustration show exhibiting some of Brighton's finest image making talent. Appropriately housed in the epic setting of St. Peters Church, Freakshow will form part of the 2010 Open House Festival in Brighton, UK. The exhibition is curated by Johnny McCulloch and Mega Munden. The Exhibition will run every Saturday throughout May between 10am and 4.00pm.
