Found Footage Fest UK Tour

One of the best comedy shows I saw last year was the Found Footage Festival at the Kazimier - there might have been about 15 people in the audience, but I've never seen anyone lose their shit to the extent that I did at that show. This is probably the closest I've ever come to typing 'major lols' so that should  be some indication of the ho ho factor.

I knocked out this poster for their current tour, and if you can make it to any of the shows you won't regret it. Check out this trailer and their website for details!

10 Bands 10 Minutes: Believe the Rumours!

Wow. I'm still processing how great this gig was.

10 Bands Fleetwood Mac was a total barnstormer, surpassing every one we've done so far.

The Kazimier sold out by the time the second band were on, everyone playing brought their A-game, and there was a queue round the block all night. I can't wait for the tenth 10 Bands 10 Minutes - it's David Bowie themed and it's totally going to topple Liverpool into the sea.

Married to the Sea: Die Gruselige Tour

Last Halloween, Married to the Sea decided to return to Germany for the first time in two long years - and like a tsunami of virgins blood, we engulfed the Fatherland with our terrifying brand of indie pop once more.

Despite being constantly bloodcurdling and relentlessly hell bent, we had the greatest time.

Plus, I made these posters!!!

10 Bands, 10 Minutes, 10 One Hit Wonders

Back in September we hosted another 10 Bands gig at the Kazimier, and managed to once again get more people than ever to come, and to somehow perform whilst being 100% leathered.

It was amazing, and the poster was suitably loud and stupid.

OAB Olivia continued: Comic strips

Initially it was intended that we would develop the Olivia character for a number of comic strips, and that these would subsequently be used as storyboards for an short animated film. Unfortunately the project got pulled before we could begin any animation but I was still able to put together a few of the comic strips in preparation.

Todd Barry at the Deaf Institute

Todd Barry is really, really funny. You might recognise him from playing jerks in The Wrestler and Flight of the Conchords, or possibly from his appearances in Louie alongside Louis CK. He's also got a few albums on Spotify so if you're not familiar with him, you should investigate further - he's a hoot.

Anyway, I did a limited run of prints for his show in Manchester, and they turned out really well - I still have some left over, so get in touch if you want to order one.

OAB Olivia - character design

I recently did some work developing concepts for a mascot/character to be used to promote awareness of a medical condition known as OAB syndrome. As this stands for over active bladder, they had to handle things in a delicate manner... and so out of these three ideas, the client settled on the more straightforward human character (developed further at the bottom). Whilst I really like the tap concept, I can see how it could be seen as insensitive. I still like the various handles as hats though!
