New show!

I'm going to be having a show at Westminster Reference Library starting next Tuesday 5 April. It's a great art library, with the second and third floors being dedicated to art and design books. They normally stay open until 8PM on weekdays. Check it out if you're in the area :)

First Pencil It! workshop

So, I had my first experience of running an art workshop last week with the start of the Pencil It graphic novel season. I did a short workshop on drawing a scene and chibi manga artist Declan Talbert showed how to draw a chibi style character. The workshop was well attended and was followed by a talk by Paul Gravett and comic artist Ilya.

Drive Back

This was inspired by car and coach journeys from my youth

Bike Leaning

This one was kind of inspired by Jiro Tanuguchi's book "The Walking Man". Would be nice to find a bike like this!

Arches

A drawing inspired by a walk from Vauxhall to Waterloo.

I'm getting tired of blogs so will stop updating this soon. Please visit my Flickr site to see more new pictures.

Yes! Comic strip

So, this is a new comic strip

Brighton show

On Friday night I made the mission down to Brighton on the train to put a few more pictures up in an open house event I'm doing there. There was thick snow on the tracks and fields on the way down, making loads of sparks as the train went over it. We had to wait at each station while they cleared the ice from the doors, as it was stopping them from closing properly. The next morning the snow was gone but it started to rain like crazy. So, not that many people made it to the show. It's on today and then the next weekend (11th and 12 December). Pop down for a chance to see my comic strips available as prints!
