I’m a couple of weeks late with this one, but Bare Bones Issue 2 was unleashed on an unsuspecting public at the end of December.  There are 1000 copies floating around somewhere, with loads of lovely illustrations and writings in it.  And we give it away for free, because that’s just how generous we are.  Anyway, these were my contributions:

One of my old Uni buddies (Hi Hang!) asked if I wanted to do a drawing based “on the theme of Youth” for a Korean web-magazine (I’m not sure if it also exists in paper form in Korea) called FF.  So I did this.

In addition to the Where’s Your Head Ats, myself and fellow Lie-in and Tiger Sam have illustrated a round-up of the 2009 Formula 1 season for everyone’s favourite monthly Independent supplement, The Red Bulletin.  I was particularly excited, being a fan of what idiots tend to describe as “a load of old cars going round and round”.  The idiots.

“Right Walter, we’d like you to illustrate this article by AA Gill about mums secretly looking at their sons’ penises - NO COCKS PLEASE.”

Some of those enterprising chaps behind Le Gun are starting a new venture.  Bare Bones is a quarterly newspaper-style publication, showcasing a number of exciting talents in the illustration world, and - in the first issue - me.  I’m not 100% up to speed on it all, but will be soon as the official launch is in the Dazed and Confused gallery in Shoreditch tomorrow at 7pm, where I shall be snagging myself several hundred copies.
