Champions cards pre-order...

Remember me posting a week or so ago about the cards that I'm drawing up for the Fox fanzine?
Well, here is the link for you to go and order a set. Every home should have one :-)

...and here is another sample, just to whet your appetite...

Meanwhile, in Barnsley...

over the past few years i've found myself in Barnsley quite a bit, and with a lot of free time on my hands when i'm there.

recently i decided that i ought to make better use of that time, and so i started making little drawings of the things and the people that i've seen going on there.

that has developed into a series of lino print cards, that celebrate the everyday happenings of the town.

it's kind of tongue in cheek, and a contrast to the People of Leeds prints. I'm gathering them together under the title of Meanwhile, in Barnsley - think of them as my affectionate tribute to the place :-)

these are the first three cards in the series - Man Waits For Bus, Guitarist Looks At Clock, and a wraparound image of a man failing to control a dog called charlie.

upcoming additions to the series will hopefully include Girl Brushes Hair, Man Texts Somebody, and Two Ugly Dogs Go Beserk.



meanwhile the three cards pictured here are available for purchase right now in my Folksy store :-)

lcfc champions caricature cards...

more new work...

to celebrate the mighty leicester city's championship winning season, i'm doing a new set of pastiche cigarette cards for the fox fanzine, only 9 quid, and a bargain £3.50 to subscribers.

here's the first two that i've completed... i really ought to pull my finger out and get cracking on the rest :-)

to get ahold of a set, try the fanzine website or email them for more details...

People of Leeds

here's a new thing that i've been working on for a while now.

i don't get out and about as much as i'd like to really - work keeps me tied to the desk more than it should, but when i am out of the house i try to take the time to draw.

drawing is important, because for me it's a way of looking at stuff, and of seeing things that maybe i would otherwise miss.

it's also a way of trying to imagine and understand things too.

in recent years i've looked to draw some of the people that i've seen in and around the city. 

initially i was drawing them to populate a scene in my Raised in Leeds/Stations of the Resurrection project, and more recently my drawings of folk have found an outlet in a series of two-colour lino-print cards that i'm calling People of Leeds.

I've done these six so far - i've maybe another six ready to worked up into prints when i can get the time - and all of them are available for the bargain price of £3.50 +p&p in my folksy shop...

after a while doing other things, i've been back doing some old-school, publishing illustration jobs for my agent like these...
