Drunk Beatles

It’s been a long and winding road but Drunk Beatles has finally seen the light of day.
The book presents the history of the rehab four from the dive bars of Hamburg to the
rooftops of London in 28 pages of alcohol related song title puns.

Available from my Etsy shop as a single volume or with an accompanying sketchbook
charting the evolution of the project over the past several years.

Shop 'til you Drop

My shops are now up and running for zines, t-shirts and other sundry items.

 

 

Shows & Zines

I'll be making my tabling debut at Brum Zine Fest on Sunday 1 July at Impact Hub Brum.
Location and times can be found here.

On the following Saturday, 7 July, I'll be setting up my stall at Birmingham Zine,

Comic & DIY art Fair at Centrala. Location and times can be found here.

At both events I'll be seeling original artwork and a four (hot off the press) zines, including:
Bassists of the 70s - #inktober2017

The Seal of Seasons: a Bolan Tarot

Boogaloo Dudes - #JanuBowie

For anyone who can't make the shows I'm hoping to have my Etsy shop
up and running sometime this week. Watch this space.

#JanuBowie

Here’s another preview of one of the books I’ll be publishing this summer. In January, the month of David Bowie’s birth and death, I drew 31 illustrations celebrating the ch-ch-ch-changes of an extraordinary career and posted them to Twitter/Instagram under the hashtag, #JanuBowie. The full set of pics can be found on my Instagram feed.

 

News

With plans to take my artwork out on the road I’ve made a few changes here at the blog. I’ve deleted all of the inspiration posts to focus purely on upcoming projects. Over the next few months I’ll be releasing a series of zines which collect my music and pop culture artwork under an imprint titled: PLAY RECORD.

Planned titles include:

#Inktober 2017: Bassists of the 70s.

#JanuBowie - the ever changing David Bowie in 31 daily illustrations.

A Bolan Tarot - Marc Bolan/T.Rex songs starring a host of 1970s TV/music icons.

Plus the resurrection of an old project featuring four lads from Liverpool.

I’m extremely excited about producing this first batch of zines and plan to table them at upcoming events as well as sell them via Etsy. I’ll also be selling prints and original artwork once all of the stars align.

Expect lots of activity here over the next few months and be sure to follow my Twitter and Instagram feeds for news and links also.

Christmas Number 2’s

In the run-up to Christmas last year I produced a portrait a day celebrating those music artists who didn’t quite hit the Christmas number one spot. Here are some of my favourites. The full set can be found on my Instagram feed.
