2011-03-05T04:52:00.000-08:00

New news is good news! I'm now represented by a new production company in London called Betsy Works. I'll probably change a lot once i make my first bundle of cash so if i pass you in the street and pretend not to know you, take no notice, it'll be because now I have enough money to hang out with proper cool dudes and have a cool new haircut.

so how's this for a bag of wierdness, i got an email today from a lady in Diriamba, Nicaragua in Central America.. seemingly she works in a library where she trains childeren not to be so stupid. as a treat she showed the little dorks my short film Fluffy Mc Cloud and apparently they loved it! even gave fluffy a nickname, "fufu"; warms my cold shrivelled little heart inside out so it does.. below are some photos:

2009-12-19T13:01:00.000-08:00

I drew this at the secret wars team dublin qualifier battle in the twisted pepper the other night with some cronies from college. We could have won a trip round Europe battling other artists for cash-money dolla' and some serious glory! Alas, we didn't win but had fun..

For more photos of the night check out my homeboy Colin's blog

I'm in a flipppin colouring book!!

2009-12-15T06:36:00.000-08:00

I entered an online competition on doodlersanonymous.com and submitted a drawing for their colouring book. Feels pretty rad to get selected and be in there with the likes of Gemma Correll (i really like her stuff) plus i'm like totally making a difference with some of the money going to a charity- the International Child Art Foundation.

My First Blog..

2009-10-06T08:33:00.000-07:00

Never one to follow the crowd I decided to do a bit of reseach before starting das blog.. So, "Technorati currently states it is tracking over 112.8 million blogs, a number which obviously does not include all the 72.82 million Chinese blogs as counted by The China Internet Network Information Center." So, including the Chinese thats about 185 million bloggs, and seeing as there's almost 7 billion people in the world, that means that only around 0.0264% of us blog, thus I'm a non conformist living at the frontier of technology!

and with that in mind, here we go..

This is a drawing I did for a friend of mine..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!
