I have escaped London.. It took 10 years but I have done it.

I am still working so don't let he picture of beer put you off. I have set up a new studio in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I will be here living the high life, drinking Quilmes and eating cow until October. When a fatter version of me will slink back to London and all its darkness. But for now I am in the sun.. YAY!

On Monday I put a small show up at the London advertising company Joshua. They are a great bunch of people. Special thanks go to Emma Modler. For all her hard work organizing lazy boned people like me. I have managed to pull it out of the bag at short notice and get some work up on there lovely walls. I think it turned out great.

If your company needs cheering up a bit why not give me a call and will come and put up a show at your place... come on why not give us a bell...

You can the view the wonder that is my studio by visiting the rather smashing ShareSomeCandy.com as part of their new workspaces feature. It's worth a look if you have a second or two.

I have had lots of reports that my illustration for Greenpeace, Oxfam and WaterAid was pasted up all over Glastonbury Festival. I hear it was in the Guide to Glasto too.

It was really cool to get my hands on these shots of the infamous loos adorned with my work. I wish I could have made it to the festival but for some reason I was in France, so what can you do.

The all new Nick magazine is out and it contains one of my fine illustrations. If you visit a news stand have a flick through and take a look.

Sorry about the photo. The Iphone camara isn't that great.

I am about to set off on an adventure to the land of Aberdeen shire. Where I will be helping a primary school make an animated film. I will be there all week so it will be fairly full on. I will post up the results in a weeks time.

Pitching like crazy at the moment. Here is a sneaky peak at some totaljobs characters..

Had a really busy December and January is busy too. I am currently working on a short animation for a company in Oxford and I am working on an illustration for Nickelodeon NY magazine, I will be updating with these bits mid Jan. Hope people are cool..?

Really busy at the moment working on a load of characters for a Dyslexia charity amongst a sea of other work. I barely have chance to pick my nose. Which is why I haven't posted much new up. All the projects a fairly big at the moment. But I will get some new work up in the next week or so, so check back then for new stuff.

Also still running the open studio at the weekend so pop by if you fancy some mulled wine.

Its that time of year again where I get chance to drag out all my work and force people to buy it. No No No, its not like that.

This year the studios where I am based are opening up and its going to be an extravaganza of an event. I hear say there will even be a cat walk of all the latest fashions. Blimey, any way there will be a private view on the 20th of November from 6:30pm where there will be booze... Need I say more.. But also lots of amazing work by me and other weird people who inhabit this place. So come along who ever you are. Also the studios will be open for all you people who need Christmas gift purchases, every weekend until the 14th December. So come along. I will be there and might even talk to you.

The address is:

The Gipsy hill workshops, 14 Paddock gardens, Upper Norwood, London, SE29 3SB.

I work in two style and sometimes my tiny brain can not take it. I also tend to feel guilty about working on the Migy style work and neglecting this more grown up style. I often think I should just make a choice as to which style I should work in and stick to it, I always end up drifting back. Usually when the illustration work has dried up.

It would be great to get peoples opinions on this style, so let me know. I would also quite like to get the paintings into a group show. If any one is interested?

"Its not good for your lungs." I keep telling them. Those penguins never listen.

Its my girls birthday today. Happy birthday chips xxx.

I have been hard at it this last month doing personal work and I have to say its been great fun. It always great to take some time out and push all the ideas that have been bursting to come out. Many of the new works are now proudly displayed in the personal section of this folio.

I am now about to embark on a campaign to get some projects in. So don't be surprised if you find a Migy postcard on your desk soon. So come on peeps I am ready to take on projects from editorial to animation.

I am in the process of opening the Migy store. If any of you guys have any preferences image wise, pop me a comment and I will see to it that I get some prints made up.

I have prints ready for the Vikings and the Birds about town. Also if any one is interested in framed prints let me know as I can organize it for you.
