'YCN', 72 Rivington Street

My most recent collaboration has seen me create a Limited Edition Print for YCN, available through them only either online, or by popping down to their Rivington Street HQ. It now has it's own unique library which I wasted no time in joining. Receiving my library card by post a few days later was a joyous moment ...


It has been a pleasure to meet and work alongside Nick @ YCN, as well as the whole YCN team. I find it to be a most inspiring environment which seems to change and evolve between my every visit. Of late, these have been almost weekly so there is a wealth of creativity to be constantly observed. A visit is highly recommended ... the 'downstairs' is open publicly from 10am, Monday - Friday.
The print I have created for them is an abstract three colour silkscreen, with an added fourth layer of letterpress depicting the five lines of the YCN identity. My idea loosely stems from observing the use of traditional end papers in publishing. This is the first time i have combined two print making techniques in one image, but it certainly won't be the last.

"Yay, I'm WIRED"

My illustrations for Wired Magazine are out now in the July issue ... in America.
You can view them online 'here' or pop to one of those super nice specialist magazine book shop type places and pick up a copy in the UK. It's an excellent and informative read ... if it all gets a bit wordy, there's some nice pictures too!

Is rejection necessarily a bad thing?

I've just finished four illustrations for Wired Magazine USA, July issue.
Above is the one that didn't make it ... but the good news is the other four are much improved because of it!

"Colouring In"

So I made it to Sydney and had a wonderful time at the 'Semi Permanent' Conference. Curated and created by Andrew & Murray at 'Design Is Kinky', it was great to finally meet them and their SP crew after months of emailing, preparation and nerves. As envisaged the auditorium was huge, with over two thousand people attending both days. I felt thoroughly inspired by 'WIRED magazines' Creative Director, Scott Dadich. His talk spanned the history of the magazine and its content. They work with a broad range of photographers, illustrators, model makers and writers to create topical features, looking at current social, economic and political issues that sit on beautifully designed pages with fantastic visual accompaniments. Go get yourself a copy and indulge in their personalised type face... it makes for easy reading,
If you check online at some point soon photographs, podcasts (hilarious no doubt...) and video footage will be available to view. The hugely talented painter Ron English gave a great talk on his work, and political antics, definitely worth a view.
Above and below are some snaps of the day and a few of my title visuals from my talk, "Colouring In".

From tomorrow my blog will be having a well deserved rest... it'll be back soon though, nice and refreshed.
Any enquiries, please email me at the usual address ... if you need a Portfolio please email my agent at Big Photographic.
