Blotto at the Oto...

Me and Blinks caught the mini figure of Kath Bloom at Cafe Oto

on saturday night, amazing voice from such a tiny woman,

nice to see Gemma again, go and soak your eyes in the wonder

of her amazing blog...

Friday people dump...

People in London...

Think (Red)...

The Popes Red Shoes... as part of a contribution to a series of

consequence portraits (someone else draws the torso and likewise

with the head and shoulders) to be auctioned for charity from the

walls of the coningsby gallery on April 1st.

Thick and Fast...

Getting a few pictures from the exhibition in Japan, I should probably

wait until I have a more consolidated pile of pictures but here's a few

anyway... thanks to Koichiro Takagi for the snaps...

Bon chance.

Lazy Slade...

Some questions answered for the

lazy Oaf 'Through the Keyhole' project.

Heavy results...

Fuzzy friday... Here's a few results of me and Andy's evening of

drinking and drawing at the ICA last night, the plan was that we

would make a playlist of music we liked or found inspiring that we

would draw to (we gave the playlist a loose 'movie' theme) while

being filmed and projected onto the walls of the ICA bar.

Thanks to Gemma and James for getting it all together.

here's the tracks these pieces wer drawn to...

Short People - Randy Newman

Company Flow - population Control

Elsie Mae - Do you really want to rescue me?

Grant Green - One more chance

Beck - Broken Drum (Boards Of Canada remix)

Blind Melon - No Rain

Wu -Tang - C.R.E.A.M

Queen - The Hero

Hey there Mr. fancy pants...

Equality, another human delusion?... who knows, not this guy .

Jam in the dark...

Artist Larry Achiampong has an interesting event taking

place this friday from 6:30 at Tate Britain. There's a more

proficient gathering of information here, check out

Larry's myspace aswell,

and perhaps go on friday!... It'll be dark (literally, that is)

Make Money Take Money...

I was approached by Concrete Hermit last year to see if I would be

interested in participating in a show at the Conran shop in Tokyo

with a bunch of other artists, I said yes, and have just finished packing

up the results to be shipped off... Can't make it for the opening but

I'm sure it will all go swimmingly. The above is one of the pieces

for the show it's called 'Cause'... The other artists involved are,

Ian Stevenson, Andrew Rae, Cody Hudson and Koichiro Takagi.

always down-wind.

'With one man climbing a tree to feed the birds'...

Neil just sent thru this friday bout of hilarity...

Drink it down...

The ICA have been in touch to see if I'd do one of their Heavy Pencil,

drinking & drawing events, the idea is that we draw while extracting

content from the music that's played throught the evening, I said 'can

I have some free booze?' they said 'yes', so I accepted the challenge and

signed my studio chum Andy up to draw with (he drew the Lecter face

on the flyer)...

Postcard Book

Concrete Hermit just popped by with some of my new postcard books.

Holiday sketch dump...

Show...

I'm involved in a presentation of workings in the Conran shop

in Tokyo in early Feb, along with the folks on the flyer...

Fair thee well...

Goodbye 2009, thanks for visiting we have all really enjoyed your

company and won't quickly forget the happiness you have bestowed

upon us. If I listen closely I can still hear that iconic laugh, hear

the clipping of your calipers and see that jocular face, smiling back

at me like the worlds last filthy penny...

I'm keeping that penny,

I'm keeping it for you.
