Quemados con el sistema

Drawing about what's been kicking off in Spain for the excellent Deterritorial Support Group. See it here.

Tote bags

Here's some bags I designed for a conference in Barcelona for my dads company IMI. Screenprinted by my good friends Known, so big up to them.
Here's the drawing:

Bust

No One is Illegal

Sneak peek of the comic i'm very very slowly working on. stay tuned.

Exodus Print

Here is the print I made for the Tic Toc pop up shop organised by Efdeay in cahoots with Hato Press. They invited 24 artists & illustrators to make the work and have Hato print it all within a 24 hour timeframe, each was then printed in an edition of 24 and sold at the shop for the 24 hours it was open. Some really rad people were involved like Ian Stevenson, Peter Nencini, Luke Ramsey, Daniel Swan, etc so a big thanks to the efdeay crew for asking me to get involved.

Mine is Exodus, about the ship of the same name taking refugees to British Palestine in the hopes of setting up the state of Israel. Have been wanting to make a little book about it of some sort but this was a nice stop-gap before that happens, if ever.

Sorry the picture is so small, I don't actually have a copy so had to steal it off the internet but you can buy your own from the Hato Press website here.

anarcho launch photos

Here are some photo's from my Great Anarchists launch the other week. Thanks so much to everyone who came, it was a really fun night. These photo's were taken by Fiona Allison so thanks to her particularly, and the whole Sauna crew for letting me use the space. I showed the drawings from the zine and a couple new ones, alongside the quotes with a couple extras, and made a video we had on loop throughout the night to give some more context and background to the different strands of anarchism that are represented in the zine, & also had a specially 'curated' (lol) anarcho zine distro selling texts from some of the people featured (Flores Magon, De Cleyre, Lucy Parsons) alongside some of my other zines (One-Nil, new one Crime Scenes, Maxho) and some of the more interesting newer texts of late (Tiqqun, Coming Insurrection, that kind of stuff). I hope everyone had a rad time, the zine of course is still available and so are the other stuff I was hocking on the night - get from my distro.

GREAT ANARCHIST LAUNCH

HI HI HI, this is this wednesday, sorry haven't posted about if before I forgot and was busy with the zine symposium. but come! I've made a video to play in the background explaining anarchism through youtube videos and will be selling the zine, as well as other literature by the people featured. it's going to be rad I promise.

Versailles

here finally is a section of the big drawing I had in the Versailles show at The Gallery on Redchurch St. It's called 'Tout Va Bien' and if you want I can expand on the reasoning behind it. It was a really amazing show, and constantly busy - much more than I think everyone expected. Click below for the full thing, it's all abit sewn together as it's drawn on three A3 sheets so scanning was an issue.


check out info about the show and the rest of the people involved at the Versailles blog.

IN OTHER NEWS - EGAKU, our Japan fundraising event is about to go live so will post about that tomorrow with flyer/website, etc. Keep you posted.

japan

i'm sure everyone by now recognises the sheer insane scale of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that took place in Japan last week - the number of missing people is rising, the scale of the damage is still impossible to comprehend, and the crisis is still ongoing amongst radiation fears, power cuts and food shortages.

here's something easy you can do to help. visit Print Okushon and submit a print for others to bid on - or dip into your pocket and bid on someone elses. times are tough moneywise for everyone, but lets be real - you still have a house and everyone you know hasn't been washed away. please support this and spread it as far as possible - twitter, facey, take a bucket out on the street or round your neighbours - organise a film night or benefit gig.

we are trying to organise a big event where people will be able to donate art work, zines, prints, ceramics, books, bags - anything really to be sold and 100% of the money will go to the japanese relief effort. i will naturally post more about it as it becomes reality but so far we have Nobrow, Laura Carlin, It's Nice That, Okido and loads of fantastic illustrators and designers donating work with loads more to come. please get in touch with me, chie, soju or jordan to offer support, donations or your time! stay tuned

UPDATE/POPUPSHOP

hi hi, sorry for lack of updates. had a full time job for a bit so did zero drawings but now have plenty to update with once i get my act together. but first, urgent announcement:


come to this on thursday if you can, or at some point before it shuts. edfeay are ex-camberwell cats and have been working with Hato Press to get 24 illustrators/designers to make a poster or zine to be created and printed in 24 hours. and the resulting products will be onsale here. I made a really basic A3 print about the SS Exodus - the first ship taking zionist refugees to palestine to try to instate Israel. I'd post a pic but i havent seen it yet so expect that soon.

In other news sent off a very exciting and paid and REAL illustration job just the other day. thats all the teasing you're getting til it comes out in print. I also did this ages ago for Tropical Waste


other stuff I will write about soon in full: my zines were on sale in Amsterdam at the 'It's a Fanzine, Dummy' fair, VERSAILLES was rad - i will scan and post my drawing soon but you can have a peek at the blog here, you can buy some of my shit from the Czech Republic if you visit Textextext_ - they'll have more One Nil at some point. Great Anarchists was reviewed in Maximum Rocknroll which was rad, i'm in the Go Red thing who's website is finally online though my submission looks abit shit but you can see it here, and the zine symposium is coming along nicely - my plan right now unfeasible as it may be is one comic and 3 zines ready by then, err...lol?

PLEASE REFER ALL PAID (and non-paid) JOBS TO ME AT DEADTREESANDDYE @ HOTMAIL.COM PLZ

VERSAILLES

soz for the lack of updates. moving back to london finally, and doing some exciting things which will naturally post here as soon as I can. I hope that next thursday everyone will join me at this rad show Versailles. Will post the big drawing i'm showing as soon as it's all finished but it should be really interesting, great theme and a great selection of very different work. Here's all the details:


I also did this drawing awhile ago for Nothing Bad, profile of Lauren Pritchard. Soz Lauren.

NEW YEARS

here is my desktop wallpaper for the latest Just Us proj - based topically on NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS. these are ten of my suggestions, the idea being if you find yourself consumed with boredom or ill feeling throughout the year you can simply tap f11 (on a mac, how presumptuous) and pick something from the background and change your life forever! these are not my resolutions, mine are essentially the same as last year, the results of which you can see at my other blog.
DOWNLOAD THESE FOR ALL DEVICES MADE BY APPLE AND AT ALL RESOLUTIONS HERE or use one of the other ones other fine struggling folks have done.
