Twit Twoo

Regarding all you Twitter Hooligans,

This is little project I am doing with a couple of 'creative friends'of mine, not that all my friends aren't creative, just these pair think saying your creative means you don't have to have a job.

Its called The Reviews (originality isn't everything)

Basically we are reviewing anything and everything. From Bananas to Soft Drinks, From Frosties to Breed of Dogs.

If we use something (in some way) during the day its up for a possible review.

Enjoy

After the best Summer since time began, 22 years ago, I am back at home about to wipe the dust of the portfolio and give it some new flava flave. Got afew new things lined up, including possibly 'starring' in a American Advert for Google & Sony

so look out for that one, Hotshots !

Oi you ! Listen to Summer Camp, Buy my clothes off Ebay but most importantly Enjoy your life.

Summer-ee

Been away quite a while so here is whats been a gwarnin since last time, with regards to my Illustration. The aforementioned Art competition set up by Ben Casey from The Chase, at Tom's Chop House in Manchester was alot more efficacious than expected.

The Auction was in support of the North West Air Ambulance and according to the D&aD blog featured 'the best in striking new illustration'. There were over 160 entries submitted from eight northern colleges, which were judged by a panel made up of professional illustrators including Ian Pollock, agents, gallery owners and designers.

I entered two images, one of them being

'Simon Cowell & Jedward' as shown

on display below.(far left)

20 images were then shortlisted for the auction itself on July 1st. The shortlist can be viewed here. One of my 'Kerry Katona Fridge/Freezer' prints (below)sold for an undisclosed fee.

So Thank You to whichever kind soul, with a good sense of humour and taste purchased that. It's also for charity so I am well chuffed.

Oh yes and I graduated.

Enjoy your Summer.

Pejhy Feature

The Creative Spark show is coming to an end and the working World is fast approaching round the bend.

My work has just been featured on the Pejhy blog.

For those not in the loop, Pejhy is "anything, be it an object, person or occasion that is good, great, liked, loved, enjoyed, delightful, splendid, tremendous, fantastic, magnificent, super."

Basically the website posts things they like. I have been lucky enough to have been asked if they can put my work up. There is also a cheeky little interview with me, answering questions and that. Have a gander here.

Thanks to Jonathan from Pejhy.

I am US bound in a week. Here's my surfin'usa playlist.

Top Of The Pops

Newsflash !

With Creative Spark a week in things are going well. Work has had a positive reaction. Which brings me swiftly on to my first feature.

2 Good 2 Bad Moment of the week

2 Good

Got this email. "Congratulations! You have been nominated to show your work, from this years Graphics graduates, at the D&AD annual event 'New Blood' in the East End of London. This is a fantastic opportunity to be seen amongst some of the best graduates of 2010."

2 Bad

I fly to America for the summer the day before the event starts, so I cannot attend.

Absolutely gutted I am missing out on it, I can hear Miley Cyrus now, sqealing 'sucks to be you' at me. Like all of dropped England squad members I can say ''it was just nice to be nominated and and have my name banded around with other

world class stars.''

But then again I am very lucky to be going all transatlantic.

In other gossip, Ben Casey of design agency The Chase has set up some kind of art auction (I dont really know the details) which my work is going into. So hopefully make some money there. It's not charity vibe - as all the proceeds will be going to me.

Music News.

Leeds band and good friends of mine, Loose Talk Costs Live are using my inky bouquet (above) to front the single, 'Some Nice Flowers' they plan to release in October. Expect some merchandise closer to the time including mugs and hats. They debuted in Sheffield on Monday at Soyo Live and were top dolla. I rate.

also

Vogue's fashionable band of the year, The Heebie Jeebies are playing The Harley next Friday night before they go and tear a new eardrum into Glastonbury. The show will feature four magicians, a dancing elephant inside jelly and yours truly, as guest lead vocalist on (Th)Dem Mad Colours*

*Two of the above are false.

Oh Follow this.

Looking pretty tired above, showing off my Greek Mythology book for the Creative Spark website.

Received a great card through the post today, thanks Erin.

In honour heres 'Oh Man' by Born Ruffians.
