Hello again. It's been a while hasn't it.

So, after a few weeks of no internet access, a full-time job, a burgeoning illustration career and a house move, I'm back online.
During my internet-based absence I have committed to a 9-month lease on a new flat with my girlfriend, bought two new pairs of Converse, and most importantly drew a few pictures.

This picture I call simply 'Astronaut-Spaceman'. I was never too inventive with the names I guess...

And I've also drawn on a fair few blackboards...

Fleetwood Mac and some rude hand gestures.

I have an extremely dull day job that pays the bills when my freelance illustration doesn't. It's very dull. Like the most boring job you could possibly imagine. It does however give me the time to do a few bits and pieces at work, and today I drew some hand gestures and a Fleetwood Mac tattoo for a friend... BOOM!

Draw'ed on another blackboard didn't I...

Have also been playing around with a few typeface ideas and colours...

Been drawing on more blackboards...

This board is for a little cafe in the centre of Brighton called Grints (you'd never have guessed would you...)

A-boards and blackboards drawn here...

Only been drawing on A-boards again haven't I. This one is for a little city-centre pub in Brighton called Crown's... They do food you know.

Want your A-boards, blackboards and menus drawn on? Send me an email and I'll stop by with me pens.

Nuff' said.

Now drawing on blackboards, a-boards and menus, and creating lewd pictures wherever possible... 

If you would like a colourful re-vamp on the blackboards advertising your business then give me a shout! 

Pubs, bars, restaurants, cafes, shops and more. Competitive, negotiable prices and colourful pens.

Been drawing on blackboards haven't I...

It's kind of like a new business venture for me, and one that might earn me enough to just about cover the cost of the hundreds of Posca pens I have bought for it... 

In the meantime though it's good fun and I've ordered some shiny new business cards to promote my new avenue of picture-drawing. 

Want your blackboards drawn all over? Give us a bell.

Now violating blackboards near you.

So, I live in Brighton (I have done for over a year) and last week it occurred to me just how many pubs, clubs, bars and shops use 'decorative' blackboards to advertise, and just how few of them actually make an effort to produce a nice looking blackboard. A gap in the market you could say...

So... I went out last week and found a scrap of MDF, bought some blackboard paint and acquired some Posca and blackboard-chalk pens, and soon I'll be pimping my work for use on blackboards EVERYWHERE. 

If you want your blackboards painted or written on, or know someone who does, I'll do it so it looks nice - pretty even. Just gimme a shout via the usual means.

Had a little exhibition in Portsmouth last week...

Was invited to partake in a little exhibition in Portsmouth last week at The King Street Tavern. It was full of photographers, artists, illustrators and more, and it was nice. They even asked me to draw on some A-boards, and that was nice too.
More photos coming soon.

Drew me a spaceman...
