cover for the third issue of the student magaize. golly gee, i just for the life of me can't think what this month's theme could be...

christ. they could hook a van der graaff generator up to rodchenko and probably power a small village with his spinning corpse for all the times i've ripped him off.

... thank god for the straight line tool.

content page for folio. the idea was that you could perch the text on the rows of window sills but oh wait, some genius made the image waaaaay too dark for the text to show up.

*slow clap*

 

do over of the refugee illustration for folio although elen seemed to prefer the more emo-tastic version. i guess i wanted to try something a little more design based rather than literal... for which i totally blame the graphic genius of chris ware.

christ... those blank, soulless eyes are actually a little creepy.

Dear Alex Moore,

 There is a fine line between homage and blatantly ripping something off. I thought I made my feelings clear when I brought your aping of Ba's style to your attention, however now i find you trying doing the exact same thing with bentteo. You really are quite shameless, you know.

Yours sincerely, 

Your Artistic Integrity. 

 

aaaand finally the cover for the student journal/paper. the theme was reconnecting and this idea seemed to go down the best with people. best to try and ignore the chick's freaky-deaky arm though, amiright? 

never a frow with gordon brown!

i cannot draw our priminister. also, elen raised a very good point when she said 'isn't obama ment to be black?'

....

....

GOOD JOB!

the final for an article about where relations between the usa and uk are going. if you just happen to be in oxford, the journal should be hitting shelves in four weeks or something.

exciting!

final for the article on the regression of the metrosexual.

something went horribly, horribly wrong with captain caveman over there (2nd from the left). 

and some more doodly, scrappy rough stuff, one for an article on where the relationship between the uk and us is going and ideas for the cover.

work sheet for an article in a student paper on the possible end of metrosexuality.

sad fact- the scanning and farting about in photoshop takes about five million times longer than doing the actual drawing.

bitch bitch, moan moan.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, Y'ALL!

derived from a rather cutting quote on elen's blog. wow, it only took me just under a year to get around drawing something from it. now, this is the point where i could make some really lame pun about skeletons and bone-ing/boners but that would just be crude. 

did you know that the harpsichord has featured in a number of popular contemporary songs such as golden brown (the stranglers), yesterday's papers (the rolling stones) and r.e.m's half a world away?
