London Scenes

London based illustrators were invited to Boat Magazine's Studio to map our own depiction of London

Without any reference material!

Slightly over ambitious, I found myself working on a detailed paper-cut, twice the size specified.

Postmodern

I managed to catch the V&A Postmodernism exhibition on one of its last few days - It was huge - and left me feeling a little confused as to whether I liked the things I saw. Some of the patterns gave me a headache - and yet found their way into my sketchbook!

So I parred down some of the pattern work, pulled the shapes apart and coloured them just a plain, calm black and white (to start) -

I've been playing about with a peony idea and brought the two together.

The Big Draw!

From August through to November 2011, I was Assistant Co-ordinator @ The Campaign for Drawing. 
Our big event was The Big Draw's national launch- 

Quentin Blake made a big entrance 

I was also managed to get my friends involved - Jonny Wright built a giant pencil for Quentin's grand entrance

- and almost all of Paper Jukebox got involved, assisting the artists in their workshops 

Here we are, looking COOL in our matching tees!

Merry Christmas!

A commission by The Campaign for Drawing for their 2011 Christmas card

I had the idea for this image to be a print, but after making a model to see if it could work, 

I couldn't resist using a photograph as my final image!
