I was pretty damn honoured a month or so back to be asked to make the poster for @americansingsong 's absolutely incredible (and absolutely bananas) musical Hole! And I had an absolutely great time working on it. Absolutely. They're touring the show around a bit all over the world this year and it's also just gone up on Spotify (there's all the info and stuff over on their page). You should do whatever you can to be a part of it - even if I hadn't drawn the poster I'd still be obsessed with it. #posterdesign #illustration #edinburghfringe #posterart #musicaltheatre

If you're in Bristol this weekend I'm gonna be at the Tobacco Factory on Saturday doing some live painting for Upfest. This is what happened last time I did it in 2024. You should come by! There'll be loads of other art and other stuff going on too if I am not your bag. @upfest @tobacco_factory #upfest #spraypaint #graffitiart #livepainting #bristol

I just put a load of new stuff up in the original artwork shop including a couple of large drawings from the archive. If you want to know about any drops early then be sure to sign up to my mailing list (link to join and the shop link are both in the bio). #drawing #illustration #davidbowie #inkdrawing #portraitart

Here's the process of my drawing of Jeff Goldblum in The Fly, which is probably in my top 10 movies of all time (because it's one of the top ten films of all time). You can see this drawing and load of other cool stuff in person this Friday (if you are in Austin, TX) for the @outpost512 Cronenberg x Carpenter x Raimi gallery show. #jeffgoldblum #asmr #drawing #artprocess #illustration

The Thing really is an absolute masterpiece. And I don't say that enough here. So I made this very silly and very loving mid-century parody poster/book cover thing. #thething #johncarpenter #illustration #movieposter #artwork

I've mentioned this before but one of my favourite reference sources is the Gottlieb Jazz Archive. It's a public domain collection of photos taken by William Gottlieb documenting the Golden Age of Jazz in New York and Washington. This is my very loose rendition of Oscar Moore, Nat King Cole, and Wesley Prince in New York, July 1946. #illustration #digitalart #lineart #drawing #jazz

As much as I love getting really messy with some ink and throwing lines of haphazard weight down on a sketchbook it is nice to be neat sometimes. I had a load of potential poses for my Muad D'ib Supreme picture and it felt like a shame to discard all the ones I didn't use. So I drew this guy. And then as I was working on it the lines got thinner and the black got blacker and the white got whiter and then here we are. #illustration #blackandwhiteart #lineart #figuredrawing #instaillustration
