Ted’s Drawing Room

I spent Saturday taking part in Ted’s Drawing Room at Ted Baker’s London HQ. A host of super-talented illustrators were rounded up and given the task of drawing customers who were trying out the new Ted Baker Spring/Summer collection. Photos were beamed into the drawing room from in-store photo booths and the whole process was streamed live on the web. 8 hours of drawing produced a mountain of beautiful artwork and it was a massive pleasure to see everyone’s different approaches to the task. You can see some of my efforts below and check out the rest of the artwork on Facebook.

Cadbury Portraits

Last week I was drawing portraits as Cadbury Dairy Milk’s artist in residence. I took the opportunity to see what some of their facebook fans would look like as animals. The trickiest was my attempt to draw a cat version of Atlas (Catlas?) holding a gigantic ball of wool instead of the globe.

Zombie Portraits

While we were coming up with artwork for Death and Other Unnatural Phenomena Giggle Party ran a competition where they promised that the winners would be immortalised in the album artwork. Being ‘a party album about death’ the winner’s portraits were always going to have at least a slight whiff of rotting corpse about them. Check out the full artwork here and close-ups of the portraits below…

Eavis Presley

I have lots of exciting new projects that I’m waiting to be able to post here but first I have to spend some time in a field. Roll on Glastonbury. I can’t claim the idea is mine but I made this flag under instructions from a very good friend. Say hello to Eavis Presley.

500

I finally passed by the milestone of five hundred innacurate and possibly offensive portraits of humble blog visiting folk. I’m pretty sure I didn’t see myself still drawing these things for so long when I started the blog back in 2007, but it’s certainly been a whole lot of fun. Your Face blog to see more.

PERSON OF THE YEAR

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.
