Bum Biting Sharks and LadyHawkes

Somebody has drawn the winter nights closer.

I've been very busy for the last month or so on a few different projects. Firstly, I'm thrilled to be illustrating a children's fiction book for MacMillan publishers. The first of the series entitled 'Quentin Quirks Magic Works' is called 'Attack of The Bum Biting Sharks', featuring mutant Custard Tarts, Coffee loving Bats and Bum Biting Sharks and this here is the cover. It will be out sometime late next year.

I've also been busy in Frater HQ at Partizan co-directing our first live action/animation mix music promo for New Zealand 80's popster Ladyhawke. It was a month of blood, sweat and teas but it was all worth while in the end. Have a look at it through the Frater website here... www.fraterfilms.com

Nokia Navigation Maps - My hand is famous!

Step aside Mr Bale, lay down your vests Mr Willis, hang up your whip Mr Ford for here is my stunning Biro Oscar winning performance in the current Nokia Navigation advert. If you've not seen it and are desperate to do so (I don't blame you) its on Youtube, its my hand that begins the adverts and then I follow in the next few seconds pretending to draw, convincingly I think...

Also there are quite a lot of printed ads dotted around London. 'Like homing pigeons to Trafalgar Square' was my contribution at Oxford Circus tube with many pigeons crapping their way to Trafalgar Square, you can see that on my Illustration page.

Fat Chunk - Volume One - Robot

FAT CHUNK is a collaborative comic book featuring a collection of different artists, each contributing work based on a theme. With work from artists from all over the world, from well-known comic titans to fresh new webcomic talent, from influential street artists to custom toy designers, and thrown them together to make one hefty and exciting comic.

My contribution was The Tale of Robot Johnson, a struggling Jukebox from Mississippi that can only play crap songs like the lyrical genius of Des'ree's 'Life'. Following the advice of Blind Lemon Jefferson he takes a trip to the cross roads to meet the Devil in return for his soul.

Fat Chunk is out now featuring lots of cracking artwork! It's available to buy at Amazon.
