Inspired by Brian Cox, Adam Buxton & Joe Cornish

Today is day two of my month away from work, so far I have seen the final Harry Potter film, eaten 4 ice lollies, swam in the lido, eaten 3 Frankfurters and created lots of illustrations.

This morning has included lots of laughing whilst listening to the Best Of Adam & Joe on iplayer. Here's an illustration inspired by them talking about the physicist Brian Cox. A couple of close ups below.

Painting on to the screen

I have been painting on to screens with screen filler to print reversed out. The top photo is the screen filler on the screen and the bottom one is ready to print with black ink. It makes screen printing so much quicker and easier to prepare. Today I have printed two posters and eight business card designs.

Dazed Live Zine exhibition

Last weekend saw the Dazed Live festival take over several venues in London. As part of Dazed Live jotta held an exhibition "celebrating the best London zines of past and present, alongside a selection of iconic international titles."

A zine I made to represent the Print Area at UCA Epsom was entered into the exhibition alongside students zines printed in the Print Area and many a zine from the depths of self-publishing history.

Here are some photos from 'Adventures in Newsprint' which was created from a selection of scrap prints produced in the Print Area at UCA Epsom (GDNM.org). Screen Prints by Students- Ben Ewing, Danielle White & Depinder Sidhu and Staff - Rose Thomas, Brian Whitehead & Tim Ellis.

The A-Z of Patterns 2008

The A-Z of Patterns is a book showcasing patterns I created using each letter of the alphabet set in Times New Roman and then in Verdana.

Each typeface has it's own section in the book, as you can see in the top photo.
