"The Decked Project is a fine and dandy collection of artists / illustrators / designers / tattoo artists and generally ink-stained fellows. The first exhibition was held at Stolenspace gallery in London in 2009 and will be back by popular demand in August 2010 at The Coningsby Gallery, London."

Really enjoyed doing this piece took a while to get the composition working but pleased with the end result, shame the picture doesn't really do it justice. More of this kind of thing to come as I'm currently working on a submission for the Grafik Warfare show in Germany (Septmeber more info shortly).

DECKED 2

I'm currently working on a Custom deck for this show. I'll be posting images later this week.

More Tribal Sketches

Here are some lunchtime sketches from this week. The top image is a study based on a Hans Silvester Photo. I really like these improvised head dresses I'm definitely going to do some more of this kind of stuff. Especially seeing that the colours are so great:

Hazardous Waste Show @ Graffik Gallery (Ladbroke Grove)

THanks to all those that came down to the Grafik Warfare show over the weekend. It was an amazing show with a huge amount of work and all of it top notch. Thanks go out to Snub and The Grafik Gallery for putting on such a great show. More pics can be seen here:

As well as the show we did a live paint on the Saturday which was great fun. I got to paint a 2m high Dogon Character (see top image). The full wall can be seen here:

Jack Rose Cover City Paper (Philadelphia)

City Paper (Philadelphia) kindly commissioned me to do a recomposition of the Jack Rose Memorial Portrait for their cover story. There are memorials happening worldwide at the moment it's amazing to see such appreciation for a great artist. I'm really looking forward to the Cafe Oto Show next Tuesday line up is looking great.

It all seems to be going on for me in Philadelphia at the moment I've gone city wide with the paper cover and I have a piece in the heArt Show at Jinxed. Couldn't ask for more really.

Hazardous Waste Show @ Graffik Gallery (Ladbroke Grove)

This is going to be a packed show. 26 Artists from the Grafik Warfare Collective plus some special guest artists. I won't be posting any of the WIP as it's all under wraps until the show starts at the end of Feb. Feel free to come down on Friday 26th as this is open to all. Also there is a live paint on the Saturday which is always good.

heArt Show @ Jinxed 2010

Ok all done and ready to ship out to Jinxed in Philidelphia not hugely different to the last post just a little bit more colour. This is a huge show with over 100 artists . Can't wait to see what others have done. Snub has done a blinder:
