Used photography, biros and props for this cover for the USA’s Convene magazine, just out, about conferencing and events in a post-C0ViD world, for Ben Levine Point Five Design in New York. I snuck our toy Pink Nissan Pao in there (WFH means the kids are about innit), my Big Coffee Mug (with real coffee, went cold though) and various pens nicked from hotels/donated by family members. It took a LOT of versions to get this just right, and the all-natural lighting perfect!  Oh, and those are my own 8.25-blindness specs! #makeuseofwhatyouhave The ‘Recovery Directory’ cover was drawn with a new set of whiteboard markers on our 6ft whiteboard, around 3.5ft high, and the internal rage was made with brush and ink on paper.

Christmas edition of ‘Decanter’ magazine, UK.

The @rachaelraymag Christmas Edition has a cover hand-lettered by me! I love this time of year when all the Christmassy jobs you’ve done down the year start to go live. Working with Phoebe at Meredith Publishing via @bareps @ciablog

Made a piece for the wonderful, bilingual children's magazine Papperlapapp - printed in German + 1 other language from the German, Austrian and Swiss immigrant communities. Loved it! Find it online and subscribe if you have little people. Made with @procreateapp and all its fabulous brushes.

I recently did this dpuble page spread for Bloom magazine, part of Bay Area News Group in Califormia. Play music to your plants to help them thrive! Drawn from a pencil sketch in Procreate.

Tomorrow is 13th! And it's October all month. So I was happy to wave a typographic divining rod over the 'Horror Special' cover and spreads for the British Film Institute’s Sight & Sound Magazine, just out.  "The Horror of 2020" indeed 😉👻🎃 https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/magazine/november-2020-issue

I illustrated the cover and masthead for this new book-centric magazine, Bookish, for the San Francisco area from Bay Area News Group. All made with inks and pencil on paper! The cover gave me a wide open brief but required me to integrate San Fran icons, places and famous authors, to give it a real sense of place. I wanted the whole thing to be completely organic as a nod to the realness and tactile feel off a physical book. I went down a real San Fran-shaped wormhole, looking up endless pictures of Jack Kerouac, the Golden Gate and the wonderful city streets. Art direction was by Jackie Burrell. And those are my actual glasses!
