News (Last update 31 July 2008)

Phone! I've got a new landline number - it's at the top of every page and on the Contact, er, page.

Magazine! XFUNS (a Taiwanese magazine from the same people who bring us IdN) have a wallpaper special, in their "Freaky Illustration" issue (No. 36) which features some of my stuff, along with an interview.

Book! Out very soon is "New Fashion Prints" by Martin Dawber, which contains some of my print / pattern for fashion. It's already available for pre-order on Amazon. Contrary to previous advice, the date they have (1 Sept) for publication looks accurate.

Trend book! I'm working on a new inspiration / trend book called Stamp Stack; this will launch in September and comes to you via Amsterstampa.

Prints! Some of my illustration work is available as limited edition prints from Manuva.

Print and pattern design! I'm busy with new furnishing and fashion collections; all of the latter will be unveiled at Indigo (Stand 6X20) at PV in Paris from 23 to 26 September.

Inchoate illustration! Also starting to take shape is a new drawing project called (at the moment) "Tiny Scratchy Opera". It may be a book, it may be a web site, it may be bobbins.

Geekness! I'm (very) gradually getting the hang of Processing and Photoshop scripts. This is with a new design research project in mind.

Still out there! “Pattern”, by Drusilla Cole is a book of contemporary pattern design that features 10 of my designs. It's available from Amazon and places where you walk in with money and out with books.
