Summer

Its that time of year when I get lots of jobs to do with the approaching Summer. Heres one for Time Out Chicago.

2012

This is a bit old news now but heres a new year card I did for NB Studio. What with 2012 being the apocalypse year they decided to celebrate by betting a pound at William Hill that the world would end this year. They got good odds - 1000000 to 1. A betting slip was then attached to a suitable screenprinted image provided by myself, Dan Funderburgh, Jean Julien and Paul Davis. These gifts were then sent out to friends and clients. I wonder if the odds have narrowed any yet?

Pick me up

I have some work in the Pick Me Up show thats currently running at Somerset House in London. I'm taking part as part of Soma Gallery alongside Crispin Finn, Gemma Correll, Tom Frost and Peskimo. I have spend a couple of days up there and its been great catching up with people who I haven't seen for ages and meeting new friends. Theres lots to see and do in the show, too much to mention here. I don't seem to have many photos but heres a few I've cobbled together from the web. Its on until sunday. Go and see it!

Yutaka

I designed this T-shirt for Yutaka. You can buy them here. This is a project set up by Sanderson Bob, take a look at his site too, hes got some great work. Heres some blurb about Yutaka.

Yutaka Tajima is a family run independent clothing label based in Sheffield, just on the edge of the English Peak District.

It may be a Japanese name but we are proud to be British.

We started the label in 2004. Inspired by an idea to create a new shape, we produced a geometric Y.

A shape that is free from preconceived ideas. This became the integral part of Yutaka Tajima. This shape is enhanced, challenged and abstracted as we evolve. We are growing naturally, making considered choices.

We have collaborated with a vast range of people including, Carl Burgess, Hort, James Goggin, Bygg Studio, Jethro Haynes, David Rule, Erik Kessels + many more individuals and studios. Our profits are shared with the logo designer, reinforcing the project as a vehicle of creative expression rather than commercial gain. If you are interested in taking part in the Y design logo project please visit the create section of the website and download the collaboration guidelines.

Our clothes are entirely manufactured in Britain from start to finish. We are proud of the high standards and integrity of British manufacturing and will continue to support the industry. Forming long term relationships with great factories across Britain and also encouraging collaborations with inspirational individuals and groups all over the world.

Bomb

Illustration for AARP magazine about the problems faced by savers.

New normal

Cover for CM Magazine. Apparently the 'new normal' is all about realising that things aren't going to get better and be back to how they were so we just have to accept it and get on with it. Some rays of sunshine at the back though so it can't all be bad.

Paris

Been on a trip to Paris. It was good to get away from varnish fumes for a week.
Didn't go in this car.
