Proud Papa/Henry's Star Wars

My boy, Henry (6) is a better illustrator than me!

Working on an updated version of this illustration. I love this label!
The new Menahan Street Band album is killer bee.

Fat Packages 2

Just got this mix CD in the mail. It's a really interesting concept. The mix is a day in New York, each song an event or time of day, from waking up to going out to eat to taking a bath before bed. It's great! I haven't been to New York for ages, but listening to this took me there. It was perfect for a rainy day in Japan. Thanks again to Die from Jazzy Sport, a true prince among men.

Fat Packages

I'm looking super haggard but feeling super stoked to have received this care package from my pal, Die, designer at Jazzy Sport. Thanks, Die!

For a good time

Love this stuff! One of my favourite illustrators ever, Zacharia O'Hora updates his site. Come on down to Fuzzy Town. It's like Richard Scarry with much better music.

Just finished this one. Real food for thought!
I now have even bigger respect for my favourite musicians.

Steal!

I was in Kobe today and found both these albums quite randomly for 500yen each. Both are perfect in every way, plus they're two of my favourite cover designs ever!

Future memory

I read a book on improving your memory recently. This quote was one of the only things I remembered. I like it a lot.

Enjoying this.

Made it!

I'm really happy to report I made it onto the American Illustration 31 website. I'm number 301, helping fill out the H section. There are around 770 great drawings selected, so I was really glad to be included. I didn't make the cut for the final book, but will try again next year.

Prints

Due to kindness and recent interest some people have shown in my work, I have been making wood-mounted, archival prints of some of my illustrations. They are available in A4 and A3 sizes and come ready to hang. Please feel free to email me through my website for prices and availabilty.

Many thanks,

Just back from a fun and productive Tokyo trip. 2012 is looking great already!

Enter the Dragon

Happy 2012! Hope the holidays have been good for you.

We found a great park here of mini streets, where the kids can skate, ride bikes and learn the road rules.

Good times!
