Pics from a couple of exhibitions in 2008: "Lancashire and Yorkshire Textiles" at the Platform Gallery in Clitheroe, and "People and the Environment" at the Howarth Art Gallery, Accrington.
2008 ended on a bright note as I was awarded MSDC status with the Society of Designer Craftsmen.

Not dead, just dead busy :)

Well done to She Unlimited for a great magazine and thanks for the interview with yours truly in the launch issue. Thanks also to Revista Colectiva for brightening my day with the luvverly printed Circus issue which is a feast for the eyeballs. (That's the cover and my clown contribution in the pic, together with one of my favourite spreads from artist Super-dd).
Happy New Year one and all.

Just in time for Christmas, there's a new book out this week called "Your Planet Needs You". Pics by me and a bunch of other illustrators to add a splash of colour, check it out at http://www.yourplanetneedsyou.org/thebook.html

The premier edition of Inciativa Colectiva has launched. I was glad to take part as there is some fab new art to explore.

What a large and friendly turnout at last night's private view for the jury selected 'Elements' exhibition at the Howarth. With the added bonus of seeing all that gorgeous Tiffany glass again (the Howarth has the largest public Tiffany collection in Europe) a great night was had by all. The pictures show the Howarth and a detail of my 'Elements' pic in the show.

Some great artwork in AB12 out now. Thanks Bert, for the nice surprise :) Art Bureau is collecting numbers - that's mine in the pic, number 12 - great fun and not too late to join in, check it all out here.


A while ago, Angel at Carpal Tunnel Magazine got a bunch of us together to do a poster. It's finished at last and the result is a little crazy! Here's how it looked a) after I got it (my bit is the blue and yellow hand.flower.key stuff bottom right) and b) the final cut. It's ready to download at www.carpaltunnelmag.com
