Sepultura Sunday Session

Yesterday Gorm and I went and skated Bromley banks and when the rain came in, we were lucky enough to be invited by our friend Luke to go and skate a ramp in his barn in the middle of now where. Gorm took these photo's...in between Maydays on the ramp and Cherry 7ups!



Luke air-walking... go check out his skate shop "South" in Tunbridge Wells.



Dave broke himself off doing switch 360 flips....!



The entire day was made better by the fact we listened to Sepultura - Arise all the way to the ramp and then all the way home. Old Sepultura rules...Arise was the last good album.

Concussion Mag - T-shirt




Concussion have this t-shirt with my artwork on it....I think it's only on sale in Japan? But I could be wrong?

I forgot about this, but I helped Toby out ages ago with this thing for SB.....I'm in this photo some where.

Sidewalk Magazine March 2008




This is one of my proudest moments, in this months Sidewalk I have 2 skate photos, my 1st ever!! I've had photo's before but never purely skate ones. This is part of an article I wrote about a trip I went on to the Basque Country last year with a good bunch of lads from Romford. There's much better photo's of other people... so I think they put them in just 'cos they needed to fill pages..but at least they're in there.

ROAD KILL



I went to Kent at the weekend to skate, I met up with Craig Questions and Quiet Dan. They make this amazing zine "Road Kill" the latest issue seems to have 2 parts. One thats just Dan and Craig's work and another thats a mix of loads of other artists. I was stoked they asked me to supply work. Also featured are Dubcan Ferguson, Ali Dewar, John Grande and many others.

I thinks its amazing that these young lads, stuck in Whitstable, get off their arses and make zines, shirts, go on road trips and really put 100% into their artwork at such a young age.



The Road Kill shirts are amazing. Craig drew this one, theres another that Dan did... its amazing! Good work lads.



Happy 18th Birthday for last friday Craig!!! I know zines are £1 and shirts are £7....but I have no idea how you get hold of either of these young thugs? I guess if you wanna get Road Kill, email me and I'll send you their phone number.

Carrier Bags...coming soon



The last month I've been working really hard to create illustration for the Carhartt store in Covent Garden. To go with this show / shop installment I've been asked to create some one off "products" to celebrate this. There's gonna be arrange, t-shirts, sketch books, stickers, very limited edition 2 and 3 colour prints and these 100% organic fair trade carrier bags.




The theme of the illustrations is a sort of mystical Conjuration, with Knights, weird animal people and a sort of sci-fi thing as well, you'll get it when it's all done. These bags look killer....Stu and Chris P at Error Solutions have done an amazing screening job.

Nitro Snow Boards

I did a series of boards for Nitro about a year or more ago and I just realised they're out now. Have a look on Nitro Snowboards site for better images and sizes etc. Here's just one of the 5.


HEROIN 10 YEARS



This just came out I actually drew it in 2004 I think..so the drawing is pretty different and sketchy up to the way I seem to draw now.....oh! and it's Fos's hand writing.... best Heroin logo, looks like the Disgorge (US) logo. Looks sick I reckon.

KOAST Snowboards






I just got these sample images back from Sonia at Koast Snowboards in Australia, they're using some of my illustrations for they're new line.

ROVER TO WALES



Last Thursday I finally got to breaking point and decided that trains can get stuffed...I'm fed up with waiting on platforms for hours on a sunday to get any where to skate. So I bought a car.



So it was straight to Wales for the weekend with Sam "police, camera, action" Roberts and Jamie Arghh, to skate cement, back yard ramps, street and see Grim for his birthday.



Sam tailsliding Grim's ramp....



Chepstowe, one of the funnest bowls in the UK, we also hit up Aberdare as well.



....and on Sunday we skated Bristol.....well St George and the 50-50 ramp. Good weekend....start of many more road trips. Shred on! ...cheers to Jamie for taking some photo's 'cos I forgot to charge my camera.
