The perfect coffee

A sneaky peak of part of an illustration for a book on entertaining and etiquette, by Debbret’s and Thames and Hudson, I have just finished over 50 illustrations for this fully illustrated book. Sometimes an illustration is so pleasing to do, this is a good example, I am particularly happy with this cafetiere. I hope the book will be out for Christmas.

An Antidote To Indifference

An Antidote To Indifference is a ‘music special’ and features – deep breath – Andrew Loog Oldham on Immediate, a previously unpublished interview that Jon Savage did with UK soul legend, Dave Godin in the early ’90s, Kevin Pearce, Nik Cohn, Ian Preece, Richard King and Caught by the River’s Jeff Barrett on the magic of the record shop. And a whole lot more. All illustrated by me.

Cool for Cats

cool-for-cats1

I am making a limited edition print for this exhibition at the Mill Co. Project. Something with cats obviously and maybe a token dog for good measure.

A charity exhibition celebrating the feline form in its finest, from the troublesome but cute as hell house cat, to the largest and badest felines of the wild. All works, from one-off pieces to limited prints will be for sale at reasonable prices, along with a selection of cards. All the money is going to be used as part of a fundraising effort for the Cats Protection fund.

Hor D’Oeuvres

Lovely illustrated cookery book from 1959 (a present from the Mardis of Valencia), favorite recipes from Embassy Kitchens. Illustrated by Virginia Jacobs McLaughlin. Every page is brilliant, this is just the front cover and the inside pages.

Printing

I have been inspired today, just seen this post on Grain Edit about American Sampler- The Art of Cortina Kent.

“Nothing is a mistake, there’s no win and no fail, there’s only make”

I want to do something new and had planned some work with text… So I am going to take a trip to Vostok this afternoon, to buy the materials for some lino prints.
