Design Week Mention

Just had my latest paper cut featured on the Design Week website as part of their Christmas round up which is always nice. They have been very suppostive of me this year featuring the majority of my projects that I have submitted.

Also as a reminder this week sees the Arctic Circle end of year Christmas show which will be broadcast on Resonance FM as well, it looks like a great event with the (un)usual mix of AC goodies!

Mondo Moss

I'm a bit of a print fan. It sounds like a confession but in this digital age I love the physicality of an object; the texture of good paper, the smell of ink emanating from a beautifully constructed and thought out piece that has been carefully printed, and these two new posters from Mondo are no exception.

Santa wishlist #3

Looks like those Nobrow boys are going to be taking all my hard earned designer dollars this xmas ! Another beautiful, illustration/music project from French illustrator McBess! It's a 7" vinyl with a beautiful book!

Another AC Christmas

I've just finished the Arctic Circle Christmas illustration, I had a lot of fun with this one figuring out how to build paper icebergs. The image is for a special Christmas event which will be broadcast on Resonance FM and for a free Christmas card sent out by the Arctic Circle to anyone who wants it, all you have to do is leave your postal address here.

Santa wish list #2

Angie Lewin Linocut print called Yellow Rattle. Check out her other beautiful prints at her website, there will be a full post on her work over Christmas.

Santa wish list #1

Stuart Kolakovic print called 'The Wizard' from his excellent exhibition Under the Damp Earth by Nobrow

Bye Bye Lazy Dog!

Just been on line to find a few bits for my Santa wish list and  have just found out that The Lazy Dog shop has closed it's doors for the final time on the 21 November! I guess it was another victim of online sales and the pinch that everyone is feeling at the moment.

Hard Format features Birch Book release

The lovely Damien at Les Disques du 7éme Ciel just forwarded me a link to the Hard Format website where the Birch Book release has been showcased. Hard Format is beautiful site dedicated to highlighting the best in music design. I have been a fan of the site for a while now and regularly check out its pages, so it is a great honour to have a piece of my work featured there alongside great sleeves by the likes of Ian Anderson, Barney Bubbles, Non Format and Mark Farrow.
