IT book

A collaboration with Canadian illustrator Ryan Snook.
This was an experiment where one of us drew a page and then passed it over the web for the other to finish and in doing so construct a story, sort of like Exquisite Corpse. Here is the cover and some of the pages. I have some of these books on my site and Ryan has some if you're in the US or Canada.

Half way home

The Red Door Gallery are having a show of customised tenement models. These cardboard flat pack model kits are made by Glasgow based Beth Fourace and Franki Finch. Heres a bit of blurb

Beth Fourace and Franki Finch are Glasgow based model makers who have created some charming and intricately detailed model kits of Scottish Tenements. These objects have become very popular with Red Door customers over the years, which sparked the idea to run a window display of customised tenements by a group of talented artists. Each tenement exudes an artists own personal style and creativity, turning it into a one off piece of art for our customers to buy and take home.

Heres some of the 13 illustrations that were done. Each one is a kind of mini inspirational poster and this was all printed up on newsprint a little like the newspaper club mailer I did earlier in the year. If you'd like one get in touch with the colleges and while you're at it sign up for a course!
