‘The Next Steve Jobs Will Be A Chick’, Fast Company opinion piece for YCN’s Ideas Illustrated, here.

“Let me start off by saying that in the natural order of things, girls appear to be the preference. They tend to make up 51% of the population overall, because men tend to do stupid things and die off before they’re 40. So if you trust in nature, nature is saying that the world is a better place when there are more girls around than boys. It’s not just me saying girls are better”.

Generation Sell, New York Times opinion piece for YCN’s Ideas Illustrated, here.

“Ever since I moved three years ago to Portland, Ore., that hotbed of all things hipster, I’ve been trying to get a handle on today’s youth culture. The style is easy enough to describe — the skinny pants, the retro hats, the wall-to-wall tattoos. But style is superficial. The question is, what’s underneath? What idea of life? What stance with respect to the world?”

The Studio

This is my very own part of London measuring roughly 1x2 meters, in which I've managed to construct a massive desk and store all my books and materials.

I share my space with Tom, an assistant editor for film and advertising, whose normally in here late in the evenings, and Sophy, a fine artist, whose been coming in to work on here portfolio and write her application to do an MA.

The other spaces on my floor have some greatly talented Illustrators such as Vickoria Topping and Ellie Foreman-Peck who share a room. Then theres Peter Locke, Nicolas Burrows and Owen Gildersleeve in another room together. Then finaly there is Gloria the Columbian dress maker.

Business Card Cars

These are my business card cars which so far have received a good response. I’ve recently moved into my new studio space in a lovely building just off Stoke Newington Highstreet in London, where I now live. Pete Locke is one of the many tallented illustrator’s that also resides on my floor in the building and was kind enough to welcome me via his blog whatwouldpeterdo. Lots of new work on it way soon!

The Invisible Man

This was originally designed as a book cover and it still is, but it works well as a possible poster design too I think.

New York City

An illustration of New York City I chose to do after having made a smaller painting of NYC for the James and the Giant Peach book cover I did for the Penguin Design Awards. Plus I love the city its self so it was something I wanted to do for myself.

When I got back from my travels Dan and Lizzie were on a Peagreen buisness trip to New York. Dan was kind and lovely enough to buy me the organizer with my drawings on, in Urban Outfitters. They used the repeat pattern on a range of products which was cool.

January 08 I traveled to India, Nepal and Indonesia for 7 months. These are just a few of the doodles I made in my diaries along the way.

This was a Chistmas present I made for my mum last year. One week later she had made me one of her own to take on my travels around the world.

2008-10-15T08:50:00.000-07:00

These were actually the very first thing I drew on my very first day at Peagreen, nothing but skulls. Thay came out for christmas 07 as well. I bought a pair for one of my best mates and my Dad.

H&M

These were my first drawings to sell and the first to hit the highstreet. They came out in H&M leading up to christmas 07. I bought them for my two oldest little bothers which was a nice surprise. (Alfie's in the middle pulling a sad face)
