ULTIMATE BARISTA FIGHTER
A quick flyer design for the Ultimate Barista Fighter event, conceived by Scott Griffith and Square Mile Coffee Roasters. The first round is a head to head latte art pouring contest into a 6oz cup. I took a little inspiration from the dairy milk logo here!

BABYCROW X SQUARE MILE COFFEE
In a collab with Square Mile Coffee Roasters (whom I work for as well as illustrating!) I have produced this t shirt design. The subject was commissioned by James Hoffmann, the world barista champion 07, and features El Griffo (the lucha libre personification of SQM) throwing a 4ft tall colleague. Events that inspired this image can be seen on Anette Moldvaer (world coffee cup tasting champion 07)'s Flickr.
There may be tweaks etc before this will see a t shirt so don't get too excited! will post more info as and when..

BURST ITS BANKS
Completed the second single design just as the first single is released. You can download it from Monday the 18th May from all good Online retailers and its going to be just 50p on 7digital.com You can also pre order a 7" Vinyl from www.indian.co.uk/killitkid. I saw the printed 7" at their launch night and it looks pretty swede!
The new single 'Burst its Banks' is a darker, punchier track and has a sexy element to it which I have tried to convey here. Its a great track and I have loved listening to it whilst working on the design and get a real buzz when I hear it live. Get to one of their shows if you can, it certainly is a spectacle worth seeing..

MEKANO TURBO
A short comic produced for Alexis Ziritt who has a table at the New York Comics Convention this year. All the characters are his but this short story is written and drawn by me.
Working with sequential art is a labourious and time consuming process, I get quicker at it with every completed page but the challenges it throws up for pacing and storytelling and the amount of research you have to do for reference makes it an intimidating task. That said, its fantastically satisfying and a labour of love.
There are little tricks and visual tools that I have been picking up from my comic creator heroes like Paul Pope and Geof Darrow and I'm surrounded by a pile of comics for inspiration whilst I'm working. Although it is important to refer to the work of my peers and learn from their experience, I look forward to the time when I can 'think' about it less and put more focus into the pace and flow of this unique storytelling medium. The last short comic I produced took me at least twice as long as this to complete and had less going on in the panels so hopefully that's a good sign.
The main character in this story is named Tuerto (one eye) who is up against fascist future robot police, gangsters, mutants and a post apocalyptic Venezuelan wasteland.. good luck with that Tuerto.
enjoy!
