The Curse of Steadman

Found this scribble I did with Steadman in one of his books – 1987..aaargh. I seem to remember he had a crate of Budweiser and a bottle of Jack, hence the madness. I’ve still got the gold pen he gave me.

Old Label

An old label illustration I did for Anita Roddick’s husband. Thought I’d get it on the blog before it blows up – looks a bit ropey. I’d have drunk it when I was a student!

American Illustration Chosen

No 1 – ‘Chosen’ for American Illustration 2012. Part of a series of photo etching prints I’m working on, loosely based on celebrity.  No 2 – One of 4 pieces I did through The Creative Federation for JISC. Soon to be animated.

Adobe Launch CS6/Creative Cloud

Adobe commission to do a live-draw at their launch party for CS6 and Creative Cloud at the amazing 1 Marylebone. The VIP guests could tag their illustrations on Facebook the following morning [if they could find themselves]. Drawn on iPad using Photoshop Touch, importing and filtering shots of the venue and guests then scribbling to make it look like the craziest party.

X Media Lab Film

X MediaLab, the internationally acclaimed digital media think-tank came to Bath last month to run one of their globe-trotting Digital workshops. They invited us to live-draw to add some texture and creativity to entertain delegates. We drew on iPads and the drawings were projected onto the walls inside the Ballroom of the world famous Assembly Rooms where Jane Austen would have danced – to a different iTune of course Mr Darcey. Shot by Joe Brown, directed by Simon Deshon at The Creative Federation.

Gymnasia Herzlia

A new charity project to encourage kids to draw in Israel. Gymnasia Herzlia, the 1st Hebrew school in Tel Aviv [1905], sent 150 international artists one of their school exercise books to fill with drawings for an exhibition to tour schools. Below are a few of mine from an afternoon of inky madness.

It only happens a couple of times a year – a drawing lunch – me, Grimwood, Cox and Baseman in the union fo ra six-hour lunch. We did do some work though, here’s a joint Welsh dragon drawn with beetroot and lambchop grease! Roll on the next one.
