News and Upcoming Events
27TH JANUARY '12 - LINO-LAB
I can't believe I haven't edited this section in over a year. I suck. I promise, I have been doing things, just my various blogs seem to represent that better than my scant updated website! Anyway, I am here to add a link to my right-hand panel and make you aware of the newly incarnated Lino-Lab, which is run by a friend of mine, Jason Nye. It's a homage to all types of print-making and hopefully will become a thriving community in the not-too-distant future. Check it out!
11TH JANUARY '11 - 365 CHALLENGE
So a friend and I have decided to take part in one of those 365 challenges. We're going to be taking it in turns to do an illustration every day for a year. It's going to be a great way to keep us creatively active and hopefully some sweet work will come from it. You can follow us by on Tumblr by clicking the link just above and you can see Kalie's website here.
9TH DECEMBER '10 - REGGIE T-SHIRTS GO LIVE
In early august I was invited by creative director of Reggie London to take part in a project with 5 other graduates. The idea was to create a line of t-shirts around the theme of anti-celebrity, with the focus being on the designers and their creations. The shirts have finally been printed, the website in full working order, and now the time has come for them to go on sale. Get over there and buy one!
10TH JULY - 2010 DRAWGASMIC EXHIBITION, ST.LOUIS
Recently I was luckly enough to be accepted for a spot in an independent exhibition happening all the way in St.Louis, MO. It's a collaboration with Cranky Yellow publishing aiming to promote and celebrate artists, illustrators and designers from all over the globe. The exhibition will be a one night only extravaganza @ 2720 Cherokee St, coupling the release of a limited edition coffee table book of all the work in the exhibition.
(7TH)8TH - 11TH JULY - NEW DESIGNERS EXHIBITION 2010, LONDON
I will be exhibiting my work amongsts other graduates from top courses all across the UK at the Business Design Centre in Islington. It will be a showcase of the very best in UK graduate design and an amazing opportunity to rub shoulders with industry employers and the media. SO excited!
(4TH)5TH - 10TH JUNE - COVENTRY UNIVERSITY DEGREE SHOW 2010
Well, this is it. The culmination of 3 years hard work - my Degree Show. The opening night is on the 4th and the Graphic Design and Illustration show in the Graham Sutherland building is where it's at. There will be drink, music and most importantly amazing work from a devilishing talented (and good-looking) group of people.
