'We Are The Night'

Not satisfied with Billboards, there is now a Chemical Brothers shopfront in Hoxton Square.
How cool is that?!

The Chems 'Do It Again'

I was very excited to see our first piece of Chemical Brothers sleeve artwork this weekend, on a billboard in Tufnell Park.

'H G Wells' Prints

I have chosen three (out of the seventeen) 'H G Wells' covers I have illustrated for the Penguin Classic series, to produce my first set of Limited Edition Silkscreens for sale. All the prints are hand printed and are editions of just five, currently only available on the Product of God webiste. My usual working method means I mainly produce 'one off' images which are often un-repeatable. In the future, I hope to be producing lots of different, limited edition prints that you can buy online, receive by post and pin straight on your wall.

Product Of God

My agents 'Big Active' now have an online shop selling limited edition prints and silk screens. Take a peek .... www.productofgod.net

I made this image for a project with Ad Agency JWT. As you may be able to tell its origins lie in The Chemical Brothers artwork for 'Star Guitar' in 2001.

Adam Withington has just curated an exhibition at our studios .... 'A History of Great Western Studios'.

Whilst looking at Rob Ryans blog (amazing ... http://rob-ryan.blogspot.com/) I love that he had posted some great work he'd made that was never used. I can't tell you how many jobs I've 'nearly' had in the past 18 months, things have definitely changed. Here is a test I made with Seb & Tom @ Village Green for musicians 'The Rapture'. It didn't get picked.

I'm always trying to develop new techniques. I started to play with paper stencils and then found an old silk screen manual, read a few pages and made this. It's all silkscreened. Its nice for things to look a bit different, have a new quality.

Paper Stencil

This print is so simple, just reptition of paper cut stencils. I think it makes for a strong image though.

Paper collage, made by accident really ...

Here is a new style of drawing I have been working on which formed part of the artwork for the Chems album cover 'We Are The Night'. It is a one colour silkscreen.

New Chemicals Brothers

I was very pleased to be working with Mark & Simon from 'TappinGofton' again for the latest Chemical Brothers album 'We Are The Night'. Creatively, there is quite a process in developing images to form each sleeve. Often our original thoughts and the finished artwork are quite different. Here is my initial visual for their first single 'Do It Again', out on June 18th.

I thought the natural way to begin my Blog was to show some pics of my studio. Great Western Studios inhabits what was originally a Lost Goods Building for British Rail.
