going offline

hello. you may of noticed that i have taken my website down , leaving just a holding page and this news section. this is in no way a permanent decision but i am interested in what an online profile actually generates? i have also been feeling nervous lately about how much of my work is floating round the internet and is not being seen in context. i appreciate people like visiting my website and thank you for your support. i will keep the news updated with where my work can be seen and projects i am working on whilst i rethink the best way of presenting my work online. id also be happy to hear your thoughts on this issue. thanks

hello. i have an illustration in todays guardian newspaper on the front of the society section. its an interesting article about the needs of the social work system and the people involved. well worth a read plus you get my drawing for free. it was an interesting piece to work on and also how the header was written in response to the illustration which made the whole process a solid collaboration

brian wildsmith

i recently purchased' the twelve days of christmas' by brian wildsmith. 

his first childrens book was published in 1962 and he has won various awards over the years. alot of his book contain themes of animals, nature, or are based on fables  but i had never seen this one before. it feels very contemporary in its use of colour and pictorial abstraction

the ghost of christmas past

being back home over christmas is always a nostalgic time. this year i found a box of old skate videos  including the classic public domian. heres a classic clip

playstation

just finished designing a level for the new playstation game 'little big planet' were the player can build their own levels. i don't know much about these games but it seems pretty amazing as you build from different materials that the real laws of physics are applied to. i used the tools to create a level of drawings, which works in a modular system. i would like to keep this in mind and apply the same restrictions when making some new drawings
