Here’s an illustration I did for .Cent magazine. It accompanies a little story that is too long for me to explain here. The general gist is that a load of people get separated from their loved ones and then try to find them again.

Yosh! Here is the full story of the boy in the jungle. This four page comic type thing was made for Faesthetic #11, the “Ghost Story” issue. My first comic since primary school!

Here is my illustration for the last ever issue of plan B magazine. The article was a review of the new Fire on fire album, “The Orchard”.

and me in paradise. Here’s page one of a set of four pages I did for the latest edition of Faesthetic magazine. It is Faesthetic #11, and the theme is “Ghost Story”. The mag consists of 128 pages by 40 artists in two colours. Have a look see at what it looks like see. My chunk of the mag is a little story involving a man and a jungle jaguar.

Here’s my illustration for the February issue (out 29th Jan) of Bearded magazine. The article is a feature with Pagan Wanderer Lu. I was told that Mr Lu spoke about his new LP like this: “It jumps all over the place: it’s a bit weird, noisy and more downbeat. The songs change, but they change slowly like a majestic moose evolving from a lowly shrew.” My brief was pretty much to do something based around the moosey shrew idea.

If you are anywhere near Ottawa at the moment (Alaska, America or Russia for example) go there and look at some of my pictures. I am in a group show at Canteen gallery called The Isle misfits. Here’s the theme of the show:

“For the january group show, Canteen invited each artist to offer his or her interpretation of a fantasy sanctuary - or sanatorium - populated by people, animals, objects, and toys that are somehow not quite right.”

Here’s an illustration for this month’s plan B magazine. It is for a sort of introduction page to a section called ‘NEXT WAVE’ which is all about bands to enjoy in 2009. I hope there will be at least four bands to emerge in 2009 with some animals playing instruments. They would have to play them well though, I don’t want to see anyone with just a dog jumping aroung hitting things by accident.

I got so excited when I received my copy of the winter edition of Anorak magazine that I took some rather poor photographs of it. I illustrated a strange story by Josie Ballin about a boy travelling about in his imagination. There are deer with no eyes, a talking tree and an evil ticket inspector. It is a six pager, so it took quite a good deal of work to do. I will put some better pictures of this on my site when I get the time.
