Owl and Lion

I have been asked to do 5 designs for Owl and Lion gallery in the Grassmarket, Edinburgh. I'm really excited about it and here are the first two I have finished.....typically, and Owl and a Lion.

I'll be making tees, bags and cards of these.

Skeletree (two)

I've made a little more progress by adding colour to this. It's really just a matter of getting an idea of what I'm going to do with it. It'll probably end up on some form of clothing or other and maybe as posters.

Wolf.

Here's a picture I've been working on which is probably going to be the subject of my next tee/sweater design. He's also featuring in some work I'm doing with good friend and fellow art fiend Mike Solo.

Tees at Bolshie

My tees are now being stocked by Bolshie.
















Bolshie is a wonderful little organic store/cafe in Glasgow selling all manner of nice clothing. They are on Bank Steet (just off Great Western Road) so please head over and check it out.

A big you to Karen Taylor for the photographs:

....of a sort. Last minute as usual, I tagged my tees on the train on the way to meet Carolyn of Bolshie Glasgow.






































Big thanks for Karen Taylor for the photographs:

Jonah 'treefrog' Matranga Tee/Zip-up hood.

I recently had the pleasure of coming up with a design for Jonah Matranga (far, onelinedrawing, new end original, gratitude) who I have been a huge admirer of for many years.

The design is up and available to buy now as a tee or zip-up hood from:

http://www.jonahmatranga.com/pages/yardsale.html#anchorclothes

The design was done on a trade basis and as part of that trade I am going to be setting up a greentees stall at some of his UK shows towards the end of October. I will be in London (12 Bar) on the 22nd and Newcastle (Trillians) on the 23rd, possibly Leeds (cockpit) on the 24th. I'm really excited about it and hope to see a few of you there.

If you're not familiar with Jonah or his music then check him (and the rest of his tour dates) out at one of the following:

scarf design, detail.

Here's a detail of the snake/birds design in progress.

It'll be going on cream scarves in scarlet and grey scarves in an as yet undeceided colour....suggestions?

scarf design

I've been working on a new design for a set of scarves I'm doing.

Two little birds being cradled by a snake, i'm pretty excited to see how it turns out.

It's hard to see much from this picture so I'll post a detail of the work in progress...

blood owls

I've been working on those owls a little more, this time in red on a stone coloured paper. This is pretty much the colous scheme I will be using for the tees and bags. I'll get the finished peice up soon so you can get a better Idea of how it will look.

My window makes a great natural lightbox......though it is less useful when the dark Scottish winter arrives.

new illustration....

....eventually.

I'm not proving too good at keeping this updated but I've had a heap of stuff going on in the last couple of weeks, anyway....

here's a new illustration, it's part of a set of three along with the leviathan (below) and I'll be putting the third up in a few days I hope.

I've decided I'm going to put these on clothing for the autumn, so sweaters/track tops probably. I've been scouting a new supplier too as American Apparel don't do 100% organic cotton sweaters...think i've found a good source tho.

thanks.
