Sorry for the lack of new news... Issue 2 of Koodoo Mag is in progress, posting a release date would just get peoples hopes up so I'll just say that it'll be done when it's done. It's shaping up nicely though if I do say so myself. In the meantime check out the Monstar! on the left.

Also here's a couple of sites that have been holding my attention lately...

Koodoo Magazine | Issue 2 - Format

It's finally here! After what seems like ages i'm able to unveil the second issue of my little magazine. I'm increasing the number of individually numbered copies from 100 to 200!

Some of these copies already have exciting places to go so there will be around 100 available to post out. You'll be able to find the mag at the following places.

Material - Ludow. Very cool little design shop/gallery. From 16th May
Cut-Click Exhibition - Abbey Walk Gallery, Grimsby. Cut-Click Magazines first group exhibition. From 29th June
Cubitt Gallery - London. Copies of the mag will find their way into a new library where they will hopefully provide inspiration to kids and adults alike that are interested in creating there own zine. Thanks go to Adam Murray for getting me involved in this worthwhile project

One of the magazines illustrations is also making it onto tshirts and tote bags! They will be available to buy in Birmingham and also online. I'll post more details and pics of the tees/totes when they are printed. I'm also going to hold back a few copies of the mag to accompany the tshirts launch.

If you'd like to be one of the first to hear about new issues of Koodoo Mag then check out my group on Concrete Hermit. There are some very nice comments about the mag and a superb community of artists too.

All mags come with a button badge!

I originally took this photo to place on the Concrete Hermit Network but thought I'd share it here too. It's one corner of my studio and looks extra shiny after an early spring clean...

Monstar! | NewSugar

Collaborative piece created by Aaron Miller (top), Julian James (middle) & me (bottom) to promote a special edition of NewSugar Magazine. We all worked without seeing what the other two were creating and the result is this weird looking creature. I was given free reign to create the body so obviously I decided a monster/zombie in Y-fronts was the only way to go!

FInd out more about the project at the whyisbox website and while you're at it why not check out Aaron's cool site too!?

Great little project initiated by Grizzlybear on Concrete Hermit. Basically a random book of Bear illustrations by a selection of awesome artists. Will hopefully become part of a hardback book in the near future. Will update here as soon as it's published!

The deadline for illustrations is 12th of March so if you're an artist and feel like drawing a bear get involved! The contributions so far are spot on and all submissions are welcome.
