Strap your hands across my engines

This is the finished print for the Springsteen tribute gig we did, encorporating the stars & stripes and some massive muscles. The gig was brill, and this years plan is to do 10 bands gigs a lot more frequently - there's possible ones in the pipeline for Pavement, Pixies and maybe Talking Heads, and I'll be doing limited prints for all of them.
If you want to buy this print or any of the previous ones, pitch an email my way!



10 Bands 10 Minutes - Springsteen flyer



We had another 10 Bands 10 Minutes gig, and this time around I made a separate photocopy-able flyer to promote it. There were a lot of details to cram in and it kind of made the colour print look confusing when I tried to include them, so having this separate one solved that problem - I also couldn't decide on an idea, and this way let me do both of them.

Field Music in Liverpool



Liverpool Music Week is fast approaching and I'm doing the poster for our show with Field Music, Hot Club de Paris, House That Jack Built and Meow Meow.
I'm not sure whether this idea is finished, it doesn't feel quite done yet but unless I crack it soon - well, this might be the finished jobby...

Hello Digger E.P Launch



Following on from a previous post concerning artwork for my bands ep, I can now happily announce that we're launching it next week. It'll be a free show with our friends Puzzle who are also releasing a cd, and we'll have support from House That Jack Built and Cavalier. I've rustled up this poster on Illustrator and did the thing that I often do when I've got all the text and no idea for an image - make the text the image and act like that was the plan all along.
(Incidentally, I created this font to be used for a band logo and I might develop it for use so keep your eyes peeled if you like it.)

Don't mess with me, Porkchop



I re-watched Groundhog Day recently, and its brilliant. Apparently they wanted Tom Hanks for the role, but I'm glad Bill Murray did it instead.
(Not to knock Tom Hanks at all - his laugh in The Money Pit is unbeatable...)

Phil?! Phil CONNORS??



I love Ned, and the main reason I did multiple Groundhog Day illustrations is so I could include him. He's only in the film for a few brief moments, but he sure as heck-fire makes an impression.
Am I right or am I right? Or am I right? Right?

Did he actually refer to himself as "the talent"?



The guy who plays Larry is great at being kind-of-a-prick (for example when he leaves a tip at the bar and then takes it back when nobody's looking).
He's also good as Woogy in There's Something About Mary - so much so that even though I made a point of finding out the actors name, I still refer to him as Woogy in my head.
