Work

As improbable as this may seem, I do manage to scrape out a living making pictures and that for other people. Here are some of those people. And some of that work.

——————————

Red Bulletin 2.0

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.

Coca-Cola

Another Lie-ins and Tigers collaboration, doing pictures which would then get animated and get stuck in a promo video. Stills:

Baconsalt

What turned out to be my dream job – drawing pictures of pigs getting maimed and turned into salt:

Red Bulletin

Regular column in the F1 paddock magazine, with Lie-Ins and Tigers’ Sam Kerr:

Radar Magazine

Illustrations for an article about the new super-cool film adaptation of Where The Wild Things Are. I liked this one:

Some drawings to scatter around some articles in their in-store magazine. One about Great Things About Being A Mother, and the other about being a Healthy Mum (featuring a hideous picture of a foetus with Popeye-arms eating a can of spinach that miraculously got accepted):

Torpedo Magazine

A six page non-autobiographical comic strip about a robot who wants to go to a theme park.

Graphis

I was asked if I wanted one of my old not-being-used-for-anything drawings to be used as an image on ladies’ T-shirts in Japan. How could I refuse?

WORKS

Graphics for the website of an architectural company. Very random.

OnOffice Magazine

Two articles: one about corporations spying on employees working from home and one to go with a short story about a secret santa that went wrong:

The Marketer Magazine

My first commission through Debut Art, illustrating an article about something to do with big businesses killing small businesses by withholding payment. Or something.

BAD IDEA Magazine

A six page autobiographical comic strip, knocked up in about two days from conception to completion after I completely misunderstood the brief, which I was quite pleased with:

Demos

Cover illustration for book “So What Do You Do?”

The Guardian

An illustration about what was then the upcoming smoking ban, and another about an article on “The Axis Of Evil Cook Book”:

Edinburgh Fringe

Graphics for a web-game promoting the festival:

Business In The Community

Illustrations for an awards/report-type catalogue/brochure thing – the black and white ones are from 2006, colour from 2007:

And this was for a small publication about BITC themselves, various streety bits that they could use to build up a street that ran through the booklet:
