News (Last update 9 May 2008)

Move! As of 30 May, please note that my studio address will be changing - the new address is at the top of every page and in the Contact section.

Book! Out 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, although the date they have (1 Sept) for publication is a bit out - it should be available in a month or so.

Magazine! XFUNS (a Taiwanese magazine from the same people who bring us IdN) are doing a wallpaper special in June and some of my stuff will be featured, along with an interview.

More book! More of my colouring in will feature in another book, this time one out in March next year. More details when I know I'm allowed...

Prints! Some of my illustration work will soon be available as limited edition prints from Manuva.

Print and pattern design! I'm busy with new furnishing and fashion collections, the former quite austere, the latter most definitely not.

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 tettering towards making some images via Processing and Photoshop scripts. All a bit hush hush at the mo. Apart from this bit, obviously.

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.
