I just recently got done designing the layout for Blink Magazine and now it’s out in stores for a cost of nothing. Brought to you by the same guys behind Fused Magazine Blink is aimed at Fused readers who have “grown up a bit”. It’s available in all usual places in Birmingham and a few new posh ones, Harvey Nichols and Selfidges (my mum will be so impressed). It’s a pretty interesting read if you are interested in interior design, designer fashion and art. I think it’s rather nicely designed too.
There is a feature in there about designer plates that made me want to go and buy expensive plates. I guess they’re doing their job right there.

Something I should have posted about sooner but you know how it goes… After a brief stint making fancy flash sites and viral campaigns for the guys at Codemasters. I am now working for my old friends at Made Media and it’s great. We have been working on some really interesting projects. So thanks for the fun times everyone at team Codemasters, especially Andy, Nik and Cheryl and thanks for the opportunity Jake, Josh and Tim I’m proud to be one of the team.

I have recently procured a preview copy of Concrete 2 Canvas, which I designed and have a section in. This is a little bit late now news-wise, but since the book is not out until October I thought I’d still post a quick shot of the cover and say how stoked I am with the outcome. Hopefully it’ll sell millions of copies and make Laurence King happy people. Maybe they’ll hire me again…
Since this is the first entire book I’ve put together I am pretty blown away and I have prepared a short speech. I’d just like to thank everyone involved. Especially Jo for being an amazing editor, everyone at Laurence King for being supercool to work with. Thomas Campbell for the killer cover, Lori D for her beautiful foreword and for pulling it out the bag artistically right up against the deadline. Also I have to thank fellow Outcrowders Logger, Peplow and Basford for hook-ups and casting their critical eyes over the book as I was tinkering away on it.
Oh yeah while I am at it thanks to light-fingered Stevie and generous Kerry.

I am currently working as Designer on a book called Concrete 2 Canvas: More Skateboarders Art. The title may change but radness inside will stay the same it’s going to be great. It’s the follow up to the original Concrete To Canvas book and is published by Laurence King who put out some fantastic books.
I’ll post more info on the book as and when but since I am a skater/artist I got a section in there. So I guess it is destined to fly off the shelves. Anyway above is an image from my section called “Tribute to Jim Phillips”.

As part of the Flatpack Festival this year the Outcrowd were asked to go paint on the walls of Moseley drinking hole the Jug of Ale. Unfortunately due to a combo from the British court systems (jury service) and the British winter (a badass cold) I was unable to make it down. Fortunately Mr Ben Javens has posted some lovely photos to his Photobucket account.
Well I wasn’t even well enough to make it to the opening party hosted by Capsule. But I am going to go check it out on Sunday 18th as Copter will be playing there so please come along.
