Inspector Cumulus Sculpt




Look at these! Got these pics from Andy Woo over at Crazy Label this morning of the clay sculpt of the Inspector Cumulus toy. What an incredible sculpt! Few things to iron out yet but I've no doubts AT ALL that this is going to be a great toy. Crazy Label have done an amazing job. It's an absolute pleasure working with them. His head, in the finished toy, will be a milky, semi-opaque plastic. Let me know what you think. More pics here.

Trees VS Buildings


I drew this in my sketchbook last night (whilst watching Project Runway). Coloured it today. Louise thinks it reflects my state of mind.

Varoom



A quick plug to say I'm featured in the latest issue of Varoom magazine. A doodle of mine is featured in the article "The Private Life of the Doodle" written by Desdemona McCannon about her experiences curating Doodlezine with Abigail Whitehouse. Nice to see my work in a glossy magazine in "fancy" bookshops around the world. The doodle in question was the inspiration for the work done for Inky Goodness. See it's all connected, I'm alway thinking...

Outkast - Stankonia


My version of the cover to OutKast's classic Stankonia album for the Beck's 100 Cover Project. I put my name down to do this two months ago and promplty forgot all about it AND I think I've missed the deadline now! Finally got round to translating all the sketches into a finished piece today. I love OutKast. Andre 3000 - a living cartoon character, 21st century dandy and Morrissey fan - and Big Boi - a lapdance-club-owning Kate Bush fanatic! Stankonia is like Maggot Brain, Purple Rain, There's a Riot Goin' On and Critical Beatdown all rolled into one. Lush, organic, funky, eclectic and the work of two distinct personalities. Hope that comes across in my cover.

Have a look at the Beck's Flickr pool to see great contributions from Guy McKinley, Warwick Johnson Cadwell, Rexbox and many more.
