Cagoule Magazine

Time seems to be whizzing by so here is a bit of a belated Happy New Year Message an a long overdue post for this blog just to say that things are fine.

Anyway, the two images above were done for the first ever issue of Cagoule Magazine who are responsible for its sister publication Anorak Magazine.

Cagoule magazine is more of an Anorak magazine aimed at adults but has the same level of design flair and content but for an older audience.

What i had to illustrate here was an article on a very brief history of the bra, but what made this a great and fun piece to work on was being unleashed to have as much creative freedom (within reason of course) to produce anything i felt was a perfect fit to the article.

I always try to keep some small parts in the unknown as it adds a certain thrill working out the problem in real time. I guess i'm addicted to having to think up things in a matter of seconds.

Cagoule should be available at your friendly neighbourhood creative book store or can be bought over at PresentJoy's online shop http://shop.presentjoys.com/product/cagoule

But you'll have to wait until the second or third run until you can get your hands on this:

But what about the Printing Party I hear you say... well tomorrow (that is Saturday) Push Cycles will be holding a special event where you can print from a selection of four 1 colour designs onto tees by your very own hand (i think) so you could be walking away with this 1 colour wonder on a tee:

Be the envy of everyone and be there at Push Cycles

based at 35c Newington Green N169PR London for a chance to walk away with this guy on your chest.

This Glug event is for tonight so if you want to go down and see some and buy TOY goodies (tee's and glow in the dark prints) head down there.

limited edition print now available to buy at the working proof

This screen print is now available to buy at the working proof. It is a three colour screen print on 285 gsm fabriano so its on nice thick quality paper and is limited to an edition of 50.

you might be able to see the trees from the images above which are quite subtile but they are there if you look close enough.

not only that 15% of sales goes to the 'kids in need foundation' so its also helping a good cause as well.

the print costs $45 and only available from the working proof.

Unbreakable now available to buy at howies

The good folks at howies have now put this addition into their catalogue, my 'unbreakable' design now available to buy from howies stores and also through their online store here.

Now before anyone rushes off to buy one there is one catch, and that is its for kids only. So if you want your little 'uns to be the best decked out kids on the street or if you can squeeze into a smaller size knock yourself out. Maybe if this is popular, just maybe howies might print an adult version, who knows.

for anyone still reading this, this image was drawn with 100% posca pen in the blue verity then made white by means of alchemy.
