Another recent World Finance editorial illustration. A graveyard of forgotten ideas.

A huge thanks to everyone who came along and made Saturday at Kettle Art such an incredible night. There are a few more of my not so great photos to be found on flickr. Most credit goes to Giggle Party for turning the night into a massive party, not to mention the fact they made the the whole show happen and took the time to show me the sights and sounds (and tastes) of Dallas.


Anyone coming along to the exhibition in Dallas next week should be able to get their hands on some of these badges…


Another recent bit of editorial work. This time for World Finance magazine and an article, The Tale of Two American Economies, about a larger part of the economy made up by the small firms and self-employed workers that often go under the radar and are still in a deep and persistent downturn. Jobs that may be gone forever.
As soon as I get a chance some more of these World Finance illustrations will be appearing in the portfolio.
I’m curious to know how many credit crunch related illustrations I produced over 2009. I wonder if the Financial Crisis was worth it for me.
Another recent Research World illustration for an article about up-market shops pretending to be the most economic place to shop.

A portrait of your typical internet focus group for Research World.




One image from a project that will hopefully see the light of day very soon.

I’ll be in Dallas at the end of the month (28th) to show some of my artwork at Kettle Art alongside music from Giggle Party who will be playing Sat 30th. I’ll be showing art from the Jason Bought a Hatchet video along with a whole load of other stuff. If you’re in the area make sure to come along and say hi.
Huge thanks to Parade of Flesh, Giggle Party and Kettle Art for setting this up. Details below and more here.

A copy of the YCN Annual battled its way through the Christmas post and made it to my door this week. A few illustrators were asked to contribute a portrait of their Person of the Year. Mine pretty much is the person of any year, not just 2009. Of course, I chose Sir David Attenborough and drew him in a typical pose with a panda in a headlock.
