Death Spray Customs
Death Spray Custom - XS650 Bones
Came across the great paint and design work by Death Spray Customs via Sideburn Magazine. There’s some ace stuff in the portfolio and the blog is a good blend of bikes, motos, cars and design. Looks like the dude has a XS650 like me too. Good stuff
Solo show at Baristas Coffee Collective
Jamaican Will... sadly for sale 
I’m stoked to say I have a last minute solo show on for the whole of February at the much acclaimed Baristas Coffee Collective in Bristol (by Bristol Bridge).
I’m having an opening view / drink tomorrow night (thursday the 4th feb) from 7.30 till 9.30 ish. Come along if you can make it.
There will be original, not previously available work for sale along with some prints. I’m also showing a bunch of skateboards I designed for Lush alongside the original framed artwork.
Please join the facebook fan page (wish it wasnt called a ‘fan’ page) here….
And here is the event on facebook too.
If you cant make the opening perhaps you can drop by during the month and have a butchers, and of course a coffee and cake!

Crucial Advert – Transit
Crucial Advert - Transit
Here’s the Crucial advert I did for the January edition of Ride UK. To mark their move from the old shop to a new one I decided to draw a ‘Transit’. Get it? Ha. It turned out pretty good I think, fun to make too. Seems like the new shop is going really well too. Bristol is definitely lucky to have a good BMX shop on its door step.

Died Young Stayed Pretty
I just watched Died Young, Stayed Pretty, an insightful documentary about the mysterious and curious Rock Poster Scene (thanks to Ollie at the ICA). If like me you’re addicted and inspired by the imagination and variety of poster art and the people behind them, then this is a must see.

The Deaner in Snow
Quarter / hood rat shelter – 13/01/2010
My local skatepark / ghetto, Dean Lane (AKA, The Deaner, Dame Emily etc) got a sprinkling of snow last few weeks. I got a few snaps on my phone to mark the occasion. Had some really good times at this park, its weird as hell but thats what makes it good. Its crap good. Long live the Deaner! Nothing Meaner! (Respectful nod to the DLH) (more…)
Peter Saville
I’ve only just discovered this insightful interview with Peter Saville (one of my design heros) about the creative process. Pete cut his teeth with Factory Records designing iconic covers and artworks for Joy Division et al. (more…)
Winter
We didnt have a fairy on the tree this year
Happy New Year! I havent had time to post anything since before christmas. Been really busy of late. Lots of freelance work and of course family stuff. I havent even drawn anything for weeks. Mostly been working on adverts and web stuff for some advertising agencies here in Bristol and my good friends and clients at Profile in Florida.
We had Gene Simmons!
Looking forward to getting back into the swing of drawing everyday (I slipped out of that a while back). Also missing BMX and the trails but I have instead been out walking on Dartmore and the Mendips with my buddies. Pretty stoked on wildlife and the countryside right now (nothing too new about that). Anyway, really amped on 2010, cant wait to get stuck in. Anyone wanting illustration work or graphics get your briefs in! I’m getting booked up pretty quick already. I’ve decided after resisting for a long while I’m going to take commissions for Tattoo designs too so get in touch. Lots of my work has been used for tats in the past but I’ve not designed specifically for it so this is a new ting. So, here are some photos and snippet from the last couple of months of winter in Bristol, mostly just crappy shots off my phone but whatever… (more…)
Profile December Adverts
Profile Ad - Chad Degroot
Here’s the latest advert I’ve designed for Profile Racing. This is the one in Dig but there’s local versions in Ride UK and BMX Plus too. Chad Degroot toothy.
