People Hamish Look Like

birthday present for my step dad Hamish, who often has 'Hey! Paul Weller!" shouted at him by drunk young mods in the streets of Dundee, personally I think he looks more like Noel Gallagher and some others claim to see a resemblence to Serge Gainsbourg.

D'Arcy Thompson

a couple of sketchbook things for D'Arcy Thompson project the second pic isn't really my style, but I am trying to experiment with collage a bit more as I like the look of it I just hate getting prit sticky fingers.
Not too sure where I am going with it all yet but have really enjoyed researching. Looking at horns and am quite enthralled by narwhals tusks & especially the rare 2 tusked narwhal!

KYTN

something I just drew and a picture of Candy Darling because I listened to Antony & The Johnsons as I did so.

editorial

From editorial project last semester, to go with an article about roadtripping across america.
Would ideally like to make a much larger scale print using letter press

things I have been looking at recently as possible influence for personal project coming up later this semester, ciphers and concrete poetry both actually have a lot of similarities. type type type

on set

couple of pics from on the set of 'meta' matt cameron's film. I did not properly document all the costumes because I am an idiot but I think the behind the scenes shots are more interesting anyway. It was cold mostly & very long hours but now its over I must say I am quite sad. Cannot wait to see the final film I am quite positive it is going to look A-mazin

another busy day at the office

lots of lithos for collaborative book with Lauren
last photo was taken a good few hours ago the shoe box is far fuller now but I'm still only about half way through cutting out all the bits & pieces!
