Bare Bones Issue 3

Walter — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 22:48:18 +0000

The third issue of Bare Bones is almost upon us – and this issue’s featured artists are Lie-ins And Tigers, the devilishly handsome trio of talent, one of which happens to be me. This means we’ve got the front and back covers, a centre spread and an interview at the back. And some pictures in at the exhibition/launch of the magazine at the Neu Gallery, which is apparently found at 30a Redchurch Street (behind Bethnal Green Road) in London – available for your eyes to view from April 1st – May 2nd 2010.

Pop-Up Arts Shop

As well as the Created In Birmingham stuff in the post below, I’ve got a print in another exhibition in Birmingham – the Pop-Up Arts Shop across the road in the unit formerly known as the Disney Store in the Pavilions. It’s a similar deal to the Created In Birmingham stuff, but with only 25 of us exhibiting and only for five days – Friday 2nd April until Wednesday 7th April (excluding Easter Sunday). So, y’know, go have a look if you’re in the area.

Edit: Now that the show is down I can show the silkscreen print I had on display:

Created in Birmingham

Walter — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 22:07:42 +0000

In the Bullring (a big shopping centre in Birmingham) just now, some enterprising chaps and chapesses have managed to put together a shop to showcase work that was created in Birmingham. In order to get this point across, they’ve called the shop Created In Birmingham. Anyone can put stuff in (as long as they’re based in Birmingham), so I put a print in today and expect to be putting in some more at some point soon.

It’s kind of across from the Apple Store, you should go have a look – there’s lots of nice stuff in it.

Friends Of The Earth

I’ve been meaning to put this up for a while, but finally got the green light today. It’s a little animation I did for Friends of The Earth Scotland about waste and stuff, and stars a badger.

Bare Bones Issue 2

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:

FF

Walter — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 12:25:49 +0000

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.

Red Bulletin v2.1 – Wacky Races

Walter — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:45:11 +0000

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.

GQ Magazine

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

BARE BONES

Walter — Wed, 27 May 2009 20:49:24 +0000

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.

Red Bulletin 2.0

Walter — Wed, 20 May 2009 15:09:39 +0000

Red Bulletin is dead – long live Red Bulletin! The F1 magazine of old has bitten the dust but been reborn as a more wide-ranging publication that is carried as a supplement in The Independent on the first Tuesday of every month.

Myself and the other two Lie-ins and Tigers are on celebrity head-mashing duties.
