Tap-headed villain

Looks like a rum type if you ask me...

(& smoking ain't cool kids)

Rude monster

"when the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad" - this reposte usually works!

Big monkeys for The Economist

I've put my 'extremely knowledgeable about financial stuff' hat on & drawn some big monkeys for this weeks edition of The Economist - to read the proper article without any of my nonsense go here

Scary yeti!

Does what it says on the tin...

Vehicular mayhem!

I've had some stupid fun creating these hybrid modular vehicle prototypes for a game project with the lovely people at Mudlark enabling you to mix & match components / drivers etc.  & design your vehicle of choice.

Don't try this at home kids...

It has been scientifically proven* that Y-fronts are the undergarments of greatest comedy value. Q.E.D.

*look it up, do I have to do ALL the work?

The Diary of Dennis the Menace

Very excited to say that I've been let loose & allowed to get messy with one of my favourite comic characters! I've been extremely thrilled to be illustrating the covers & insides of this new series of Dennis the Menace books written by the very charming Steven Butler - here's the first cover.
Very pleased to announce that Dennis is at his menacing softy-baiting best!

You can pre-order a copy here or else go & buy it from a PROPER bookshop which is a far more edifying & enjoyable experience, you might meet somebody nice or find another book that you'd have never seen otherwise!

Long yetis & short yetis...

I've been colouring in yetis on holiday, who knows what yetis look like anyway?

Astronauts!

This is what space ACTUALLY looks like kids! (yes, & of course the moon's made of cheese dummy!)

Holidays!

NB no crustaceans were harmed in the making of this picture (that sandcastle got well f***ed up though!)

Repent!

Neighbourhood watch meets the Wicker Man (yep, I'm definitely going to hell...)

Questionable mutt

Drawn late at night for questionable reasons...

Sh*tting beastie!

A little defecation on a Friday!

National Orgasm Day

Hot on the heels of National Hot Dog Day the other week, yes, apparently it exists, go on treat yerself! x

(I did these for a pitch the other week. I liked them. The client didn't. Their loss.)

Mr Procrastination

Caught in the tentacles of procrastination (yes, & I even drew it yesterday, that was proper 5 star procrastination with a side order of 'f***ing about for England'!)

Biblical Beano

holy ghost!

Being British illustrations - Woman's Weekly

 Illustrations to accompany comedian Hugh Dennis' article for Woman's Weekly on Being British including inability to choose correct outfits for weather, obsessions with gardens, pets & not turning your back on the Queen.
(shamefacedly I hadn't realised Woman's Weekly still existed & was immediately reminded of the line 'beat me on the bottom with my Woman's Weekly' from a song by Victoria Wood!)

Economist June 2013

Illustration for The Economist international section on 'Shell companies' - untraceable companies which exist on paper only and are the vehicle of choice for money launderers, bribe givers and takers, tax evaders and financiers of terrorism.

'Mr Cameron has emphasised the importance of “breaking through the walls of corporate secrecy”.'


(& I love a bit of chiarascuro on a Friday too! : )

'taking a lion for a walk'

'drawing, is taking a lion for a walk' Paul Klee (or at least that's what I thought he said...)

Witch & familiar

...beware the cat who stands on two legs...

Thursday critturs

Ok,  haven't posted for ages - been very busy - must do better!

Fun license revoked!

Yep, the men from the Ministry of Fun never stop & woe betide you if you overuse your fun license...

Parp! Parp!

Parp! Parp!

The Economist - Data Starvation

Recent illustration  for The Economist Technology Quarterly about the technical challenges of effective communications under the sea.
i.e. it's difficult to update your Facebook status if you don't want the enemy finding out about your sandwich of choice etc.

Bear / monkey percussion fusion ensemble

If this picture was a noise it'd be WELL LOUD!

The Economist - Silent World

 Recent illustration I produced for The Economist Technology Quarterly about the technical challenges of effective communications under the sea.

(all 'scientist with biros in pocket'™ clichés are entirely deliberate)

Perplexed werewolf

We've ALL been there! sketc

Monkey bikini

Every simian should have one!

Square Trilby

Interesting square trilby-esque* hat spotted on Wardour Street - had to rub my eyes to check I wasn't in Shoreditch by accident!

(*yes pedants, I'm sure it can't be an actual trilby - ence the 'esque' ; )

Monkey triangle ensemble

Monkey triangle ensemble - every seaside town should have one!

I have a photo of myself as a sulky 2 year old posing with my dad & a rather wretched monkey in a cardigan from the early '70s - just saying, I don't really condone animals in clothes (unless it's REALLY funny!)

Girl with plaster

Girl with plaster - Bloomsbury Theatre Tuesday 26th March

Faces from Bruno's

Bruno's, Wardour Street - it's cold out!

A Troupe of Farting Penguins

Happy Hallmark® Day

Valentines, schmalentines...

Yeti pancake disaster

Happy pancake!

Bears & woods...

Well that clears THAT one up doesn't it? (yep, the other one's Catholic too)

Fat crittur

I occasionally sport a very similar expression pre-lunchtime - luckily for you all I've just had a sandwich (& I mercifully don't have an Instagram account so you won't have to look at a picture of aforementioned butty)

Pinch punch! White rabbits!

Well, that's January over, start as we mean to go on eh? Hello February!
