Has it really been that long since my last update? Well happy new year.
There's a heap of new projects in the work section, including stuff for Douglas and Gordon, Nike, Akron/Family, Blackest Rainbow, The Guardian and Cam Deas.
Here's a photograph of part of my installation for Douglas and Gordon to get you started, probably one of the most exciting projects i've worked on to date.
Thanks for visiting!

Thanks to everyone who came down to the Edition private view last Thursday, it was a great show and a good time was had by all (despite the gas leak!).
I've just added a few new things to the work section, including a sneak preview of my zine for the Story Motel exhibition which opens 14th May at Owl and Lion in Edinburgh.
I'm also working on a new zine project which will involve lots of great illustrators and designers including Stuart Kolakovic, Wizards Hat and Matthew Green to name a few.
Issue two of Menagerie is also under way and will involve musicians like Voice of the Seven Woods, Castanets, Wand (Formerly Wooden Wand) and Moon Duo (Wooden Shjips). Illustrators this time round will include Pete Fowler, Alex Jako, French, Drew Millward and Andrew Rae, so it's shaping up to be a pretty special issue.

A couple of exhibitions are on the horizon that i'm involved in. First is Edition, a Screenprint exhibition involving 40 artists at the Bodhi Gallery on Brick Lane.
It opens May 7th at 7pm and runs until May 27th. Prints will be £20 each and it should be a great show, hope to see some of you there. There's also a daily blog of videos of the prints actually being made, which you can view here http://vimeo.com/channels/edition my print is on day one.

Also coming up is the Story Motel exhibition at The Owl and Lion Gallery in Edinburgh. It will be running 7pm, 14th May - 11th June . It's an exhibition of zines by both Artists and writers. My zine will be fully lino printed and titled 'Kredda'.

It's been a while since the last update and finally my Zine and CD project Menagerie has come to fruition.
They are available in the shop section, only 100 copies of the zine so you'd better be fast.

There's also some new stuff in the work section, including illustrations for Research world, Peppermill Records and Skyscraper magazine.
