Smoke Signal pt2

A couple of months ago I was included in the Brooklyn newspaper anthology Smoke Signal. It's a lovely comic published by Gabriel Fowler at Desert Island:

I understand that the newest issue should be hitting the stands this month. The last one was free for those that can get to Gabe's shop and other Brooklyn outlets. I know I'm going to do what I can to get my copy here in wintry Brighton.

Anyway here's the strip Gabe published. I thought since the new issue of SS is out soon I may as well share my strip from the last issue here.

A Good Man Knows His Proverbs

Hallo Dere,

The noble East End Arts Club is once again holding a Xmas show in the basement of Shoreditch's Town Hall. The space is absolutely amazing and the show is worth checking out just as an excuse to wonder around the labyrinth of rooms under the Hall.

The theme of the show is English Proverbs, I chose to illustrate that classic 'Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining', apt in these times of wind, rain and cold winter weather. There are many other great artists involved including, Rachel Eardley, Phillip Osbourne, and The guys from the ArtHouse;

The East End Arts Club show opens tomorrow night. feel free to pop along and have a look. Here's the flier with details.

Those Dead Dead Eyes

Helloee there,

This is a little illustration I did for the up coming issue of Electric Sheep magazine. This is the one they went with for publication but I also made a more colourful one (below) that I rather like, I know its sort of ugly, but I like it anyway.
























The strip below is a review of Jose Marins' work that I made for Electric Sheep earlier in the year. The magazine has been and gone from the stands for some time so I thought I'd publish my humble contribution here for those of you who are interested.

Wo Wo Wohaa!

Oh yes my friends the rumours are in indeed true: issue one of the much awaited Solipsistic Pop is available to purchase now! I have a strip of my own in the hallowed book entitled 'Spring '09', and my work is also featured in collaboration with Richard Cowdry on our gag strip 'Somersault'.

Here's the link www.solipsisticpop.com/shop/

There is an exhibition of work by some of the artists involved at the Orbital Comics Gallery in London and I heartly recommend you check out.

The book was launched on Sunday the 8th at the ICA Comiket, it was a great day with much fun had.

One week later to the day my baby was born, and she is indeed a little girl (relevant for those of you who have already read the strip). I'm feeling very tried now, but also quite loved up, so I'm going to go and do the washing up.

How Cool Is This!?

Mee On TeeVee

Here I am as bold as brass and large as life with 'Contributor Sam' on the reality TV show 'Dating In The Dark'. The show aired on British TV tonight for the first time, and was great fun.

I was on screen for all of 2 seconds along with my fellow 'Sketch Artists' Sarah Woodburn, Morgan Tipping and Hayley Bowen. So that's two seconds off my allotted 15 minutes fame, leaving, by my calculations 14 minutes 58 seconds...
