FLOWN THE NEST

Excuse the ornithology pun but I have moved to a new blog which you can find here at babycrow.tumblr.com Please come and find me!

MOUNTAIN RIDER

This was part of a print series produced by myself and fellow PUCK member Robbies Brown Shoes for Tokyo Fixed at the Hyper Japan event in the Olympia. It is obviously inspired from Japanese ukiyo-e prints and we went with the Risograph printing process to create a similar woodblock effect. The Samurai is riding a track frame based on the legendary Japanese frame builder Nagasawa.

BOULDERS & BUFFALO

I'm loving this Justice video for 'Civilization', the colours and saturation remind me of the old Transformers and Gundam animations, or any of the late 80s / early 90s anime that featured an unnamed rocky desert for that matter.

WHEN DARROW MET MOEBIUS

In 1984 Geof Darrow and Moebius hooked up to produce a portfolio of prints named La Cite Feu. I just found an example on flickr, checkit.

SWORD AND SWORCERY

Audience Calibration Procedure from Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery on Vimeo.

This game for the iPad looks awesome. It is soon to be release for the iPhone and I will certainly be making a purchase. The style of the whole thing reminded me of Robbie's Brown Shoes which is definitely a good thing!

PICK ME UP

Currently Showing work with my PUCK Collective at the Pick Me Up event at Somerset house. Over the course of the ten days we will be producing a daily newspaper that collects some of our inspirations and sketches into a handy little tome and will be doing live screen printing of tshirts and tote bags on the two late night thursday openings. I'm also going to be bringing my gocco printer down in the week so if you've ever wondered how they work and can't be bothered with youtube then come and check it out. Its a great show and absolutely packed with amazing artists, well worth the entrance fee and a perfect place to go and collect a few pieces for your walls. We have a load of prints for sale at most reasonable prices!

GO RED!

A few members of PUCK put their heads, bodies and legs together in order to contribute to a charity consequences event, GO RED! You can go onto the website and play with the options then buy a print for charity. Proceeds go to Richard House, a purpose built children’s hospice in east London.

GALACTUS!

Not only is this a taster of an off the chain game boss, it is also a preview of the mighty Galactus who you can see in screen print form at the CAMP show that is currently running!

PROJECT MAG - WRITING SCHOOL

I was asked by the exclusively iPad publication, Project Magazine, to produce a couple of illustrations for their third issue. This image is for an article about a school of writing and features an ensemble of great writers in a nostalgic and sunny classroom. See if you can name them all, its a fun game for you..

EDDY MERCKX 1969

This was a Xmas gift for Tokyo Fixed, it features Max on one of the press bikes in the background. Eddy Merckx on an ascent during the 1969 Tour De France. I went for a "Frenchy" feel and attempted to invoke a little TinTin..

WIRED - HOW TO DO FIXED GEAR TRICKS

This was a quick commission for Wired magazine which came out this month. The article was written by Super Ted and covers how to skid, wheelie and how to perform a dramatic dismount which, I imagine, could result in a few lost teeth. I went with the manga theme as the magazine were fans of my previous robot poster.

DW SUPERHERO

A birthday commission from a wife to her husband. The brief was to depict the Groom in a superhero alter ego, stood on a Gothamesque rooftop scene. And the Wife of the Year Award goes to...

IBOOK - MACUSER

A commission for MacUser magazine's 'Publish your iBook' feature. I drew inspiration from the Disney Sword in the Stone movie where the wizard Merlin sings a 'Higitus Figitus' song and shrinks his belongings into a magical manbag. This, we all know, is a lot like publishing your ibook on the ipad!

TIED TOGETHER X TOKYO FIXED X FEATHER BIKE

This is the result of the two weeks hard labour. Amazing what can happen when enthusiastic, selfless, creative and talented people come together! Big props go to Feather Cycles and Death Spray Customs for the quick turnaround and to all the Tokyo Fixed boyz. Its great to see a drawing come to life like this, we wanted the bike on the Tshirt design to match the finished article but it was a bit of a chicken and egg situation. We had to speculate what we could cobble together in time and depict it in the drawing, then design all the appropriate graphics for the bike in a way that could be quickly realised in the spray job. I have a time lapse video of Greg Falski putting the bike together but it needs a little editing.. watch this space.
