I worked with Neda, one of the creatives at Gyro on this piece to enter into the latest Gyro competition.

I created the layout, Illustrations and made 'The Great Swap' logo.

If Neda wins, she will be giving her prize of a free placement at any Gyro office worldwide to an Inuit girl from the Arctic.

It's a generous and excellent idea which is why I want to make sure she gets as many 'likes' as possible to win this competition.

Process of a drawing (sort of)

2011-07-15T10:27:00.000-07:00

I wanted to do a proper 'progress' blog for the Inkygoodness piece but half way through I forgot and didn't take screen shots when colouring.

But anyway, here's a loose look at what I do and how I do it.

- Sketch A4 layout.
- Use a book as a mouse mat / desk because your desk is full of stickers and it's uneven.

- Scan sketch and blow up to the finished size.
- Stick 2 A3 pieces together because you haven't got an A2 printer.

- Start inking over the print out.
- Draw on the floor because the desk is full of junk

- Scan and colour
- Take it to the printers
- Frame

I can't show you my colouring secrets!

- Take arty close up photo to show detail / messy room and you're ready!

Character Totem Exhibition!

2011-07-14T15:45:00.000-07:00

I Makez Songz Too!

2011-07-06T05:04:00.000-07:00

In about 2008, in my living room, I made a song with the help of one of my bestest buddies Sammy Brennan.

We called our one day project Prince With A Thousand Enemies cos we proper love Watership Down. (On reflection, we were like a cheap version of Fall Of Efrafa)

Anyway, this song just came on shuffle and I thought, oh my, THE WORLD MUST HEAR THIS!

Download!

I played all the instruments and wrote the music (aka made it up as I went along) and Sammy recorded and project managed and spun on the desk chair.

Look out for our next project, 2 girls 1 drum.
