More birds and synthesizers

A painting I did with emulsion, acrylic and spray paint

Happy Birthday Anna

It was Elle's sister's birthday at the weekend, so I made her a present.
Acrylic and varnish on wood, with wood frame.
It took longer to make the frame than paint the picture!

In case you can't tell, it's based on the vector illustration below.

Stool Pigeon

Hot cha-cha-cha!

90 degree angling

Leaflet illustrations

Designed a leaflet for a mediation service, which turned out quite well, I thought. Here are some quick illustrations wot I dun for it:

Rook Wakeman

For the first time in ages, I did a painting on a wall. Actually, it's the first time in ages I've done a painting, let alone on a wall.
I used a combination of emulsion, acrylic, spray paint and poster paint (!)

Excuse me, I'm tweeting

Strange birds keep landing on the notepad I use to jot down stuff from phonecalls.



(Obviously that sounds far more mysterious than the reality, which is that I'm simply drawing them whilst on the phone.)

More-Vue

a few more from the Ful-Vue. All of these photos are taken in France, either in or around Touget or in Biarritz.





Elle definitely took the sunflower photo, the others could be either one of us. Apart from the ones of her. It's fairly likely I took those!

Ensign Ful-Vue

Just got the first film back from the Ensign Ful-Vue 120 camera Elle found. If only there was some iPhone app that made photos look like this....

Bristow

Bath time

From a tourist map of Bath wot I dun.

Doggy doos

I can't draw dogs that look like dogs, apparently...

Earwax - Friday 23rd April

We're doing another Earwax night. This time it's at The Lanes, so you can bowl while you listen to exciting music.

We have The Mandibles playing, too, which should be great fun!

New record centres for Jon Kennedy

I got asked to do a centre label for Jon Kennedy - his new single 'Boom Clack'.
(buy it here: Juno.co.uk )

I wanted to do a sort of 60s pastiche centre in the style of the pink and white Vogue label centres and similar. I'm pretty pleased with the result!

I got two versions: a red vinyl one and a rather lovely dark, dark red one. It just looks like black vinyl on the photo, but trust me, it's a really nice colour!

Garden party

Someone was kind enough to leave a lovely set of outdoor furniture in the luxury shared garden space next to my house. Unfortunately someone by the name of 'deb' seems to have reserved the best seat.

Hadron Collider - 12th Feb

Myself and Martin just dun a poster for our next evening of music. As should be fairly obvious, it's a pastiche of a penguin book circa 1964.

P.s. it's Nikola Tesla in the middle.

Bombay Mix

Ok so I got back from an amazing holiday in South India with Elle last week. Some photos will end up on here at some point but for now, here is a short little mix I made from some of the records I managed to find while I was over there!





Tracklist to come at some point, possibly.
