MY FIRST COMIC BOOK!






As part of the end of year show my fellow illustration buddies and I had to organise, based on the theme of local folklore, I made my first ever comic. It is the story of zoo proprietor Edward Cross and his animals when they had to move from the Exeter Exchange menagerie in Strand to a new location in Walworth, in the 1800s. I had a rad time making this comic, from risographing to wandering around Manor Place and Surrey Gardens in Walworth. I guess the drawing was pretty fun too :) Unfortunately, the risograph printer broke before I had chance to print the front cover so each comic will have a different, hand-drawn cover!!!! Each copy will be unique and special so IF YOU WANT ONE, GET IN CONTACT WITH ME. ONLY 8 COPIES. Not sure on the price yet.

Skateboarding=happiness

Back from Stockwell and it was the raddest skate I've had yet. Ok it's not entirely skateboarding=happiness, it is more the people I've met and friends I've made and how far I've come since skateboarding. I've been learning to carve round the bowl bit at Stockwell and I can do it now. Thank you French, Stu, Jonas, Josh, Kev, Nico and Paul :)

If you need a new board, get one of these OR DIE!





(ok i dont have on yet but my next board will deffo be Lovenskate of Witchcraft)

I love the risograph machine. Here is the Giraffes comic strip and my first three colour print. Stoked. and now I'm going to Stockwell. Even more stoked!! :)

Machotaildrop



I went to the movie premiere of Machotaildrop last night, it is the weirdest film about skateboarding you will ever see. Just go with it and let the quirkyness wash over you :) and Ed Templeton was there. Rad!
