Koodoo Magazine | Issue 1 - Console
I'm proud to announce the first issue of my little illustrated magazine is now available! The theme of this issue is Games Consoles.
The mag features various illustrations of consoles both old and new but it's primary focus is people, and especially the way in which they interact with and are affected by the games and consoles they play. Most of the inspiration for the work contained within the mag is based on personal experience and my own observations. You can see a few spreads above.
As I'm such a generous guy the mag will be available for FREE! The initial run will be limited to 100 copies and the first 50 people to request one will also receive an additional gift in the form of a Koodoo button badge. Each copy will be hand made (hence the very limited numbers), and be printed using a single colour (visually striking and also cheap to print!). I plan to create between 5-10 issues each with its own unique theme and colour.
To get your copy simply fill in the contact box at the top of the page including your Name and Address (and email address if you would like a quick confirmation when I've sent it). Or email me direct dave(at)koodoolounge.co.uk (replacing the (at) with @). It's only small (120mm x 120mm) and light so I don't mind posting worldwide.
Blanket Magazine | Button Badge
Blanket Mag has unveiled it's new shop! Featuring a large poster (570x950mm) that contains work from 56 artists who've contributed to the magazine and also 3 sets of limited edition button badge packs. Each pack of buttons contains work from 4 artists that contributed work to issue 9 and a Blanket logo badge. I was lucky enough to be asked to contribute and you can find my badge (shown above) in Pack C.
With the quality work this mag showcases I'm sure the shop will continue to grow.
So if you like badges and great new artwork check out the Blanket Online Store for yourself. Issue 10 (The Recycled Issue) is also available to download now!
Summer 08 | Promotional Mix CD
I've been enjoying the unexpected UK sunshine for the last week and a half (yes we've had a whole week and a half of sun!), so illustrations taken a bit of a backseat. I did find time to create this simple illustration for a new mix CD and I think it looks suitably bright and summery. 'Luckily' it looks like the weathers going to return to normal by the weekend (rain & clouds), so ill be focusing on the new Koodoolounge magazine. Expect to see it sometime in June unless of course the sun comes out again...
Edition Magazine | Issue 3
My contribution to Edition Magazine Issue 3. Unfortunately not selected for inclusion but I thought I'd post it here for anyone who wants to look. Edition Mag is a 2 colour printed publication with some really cool work from superb artists (previous issues feature McBess & Jeremyville). Issue 3's theme is summer. It's available to purchase at a very low price so there's no excuse not to visit the site and buy yourself a copy just as soon as its released (early June 08)!

These illustrations were created to showcase T-shirt graphics for the Next clothing store (UK).

Previous to these illustrations I had focused on Design and hadn't drawn or painted any artwork for many years.
