Watch this space for more updates on the sketchbook jams!

Last Thursday, at Shop was the first of hopefully many sketchbook jams. The plan was just to sit around passing a few sketchbooks round, collaborating on a few drawings which, when we have enough, we'll get made into a little booklet. Also, some silk-screens to make some prints with. It was a success with featuring work from myself, Rikki Marr, Bantum, Kid30, and Kaption1. Looking forward to a few more sessions with a few other collaborators.

I was recently asked to design a logo for a project on branding. The brief was to design a logo for a new car company called 'Vida' which is spanish for 'lifetime'. Only spent about a day on it, but I was quite pleased with the result.

Well, finally got my website up and running again, having to wait forever for my laptop to be fixed!

Currently working with the guys at Shop,an award winning creative collective. It is home to illustrators, film-makers, fashion designers, furniture designers, music producers, and even a mind reader! Commited to putting on plenty of events and workshops, i'd say Shop is a space to watch.

I'm also currently exhibiting work in the show 'Part 1', the first show from the artist's group 'Sixes & Sevens', an umbrella organisation, that supports numerous artists, hosting a a variety of different practices and events. You can see the show at Surface Gallery until the 14th November 09.

Here's a quick taster of the show, i'll get some better documentary photos posted soon...

Lotti V Closs 'Dymaxion Crossings' (Ink on paper)

Simon Franklin 'No Longer Showing' (paper sculpture)

James Huyton 'Prototype' (Envelope sculpture with paint pen drawings)

Posted a new photo of an updated version of one of my paper bag drawings, It's in the brown paper bags section if you want to take a look. Had a few good ideas as to where to go with this concept after reading an article in the Observer called 'the art of selling out'

by Sean O'Hagan (6th September 09'), as recommended by a friend.

Started work on concept for latest commission today, keep posted for photos :)

I went to London for the launch of London design week on Friday. Helped out with Bantum Clothing, for catwalk show and some screen printing afterwards. I was hoping to do some live illustration, but unfortunately this didn't happen. I really enjoyed meeting loads of new people, who were all very helpful to speak to.

Hoping to get some photos from the event soon, but you can check out some info at this link - www.verydesignersblock.com/2009/2009/09/10/invest-in-nottingham/
