All I know is... there were rumours...

It's that time again - we're putting on another 10 bands 10 minutes show, and this time everyone's going to cover Pixies songs. Playing on the night are:

Married to the Sea
Voo
Elle S'appelle
House That Jack Built
Pete Bentham and the Dinner Ladies
Cavalier
Dire Wolfe
The Loose Moose String Band
Hillary and the Democrats
Stephen Hudson


I've done a black and white poster to promote it around Liverpool, and I'm working on ideas for a colour version to sell on the night. It's going to be absolutely boss.

Back in Blue

I'm back on tour again with The Bluetones, so I've done another Charley Harper inspired poster* - this time we're doing 18 dates, which is plenty of time to either become best friends or mortal enemies. So far, so good...

* not that there's any link between him and the band - he's just a class act, and I figured it was a more grown-up audience than usual who might respond to a mildly classy illustration.

That pesky giraffe...

Here's a couple of short-notice posters I put together without much time to spare - all I could think of using was this dinky little giraffe in both cases, although I managed to pop some support from a monkey and frog into the Bright Light one.

The Sustainable Health Partnership

I've put together a couple of posters for The Sustainable Health Partnership, illustrating the balance of funding in the NHS and the instabilities in public health systems - note the little team of guys investigating the volcano.

Poster, QUICK!

I rustled up this poster for the Harlem gig in Manchester, and wasted a day inventing a classy font which I didn't even use - sometimes when a band has songs with names like 'Psychedelic Tits' and all their myspace top friends are dogs in hats, you don't really need to worry about class.

Happy Birthday Elizabeth

My sister Elizabeth recently turned 30, so I did this print for her as a present.

We used to slide down the stairs on fold out brown mattresses into piles out of cushions - it was brilliant.

Where did you go?

On Saturday we'll be setting off on tour with the Bluetones for a few weeks, so I've been working on a poster for them to flog each night. Its a work in progress, and a nod to an early album cover of theirs (as well as the illustrator Charley Harper).
