Finally purchased myself a fisheye converter for my SLR so more photo's to come. Also, heres a photo of a super8 I found at a car boot yesterday for a quid fifty.
Just finished the last of the school proms at work. Working alongside a professional photographer, we have been taking and speed-editing hundreds of photo's for next day availability. Been pretty manic but really enjoyed it. Here's a photo I took of some happy chappy's in a some sort of party bus. Also managed to grab a shot of the fleet at 5 in the morn on the way home after a prom at Portland Sailing Academy.

Totatally surprised to find that I have been of inspiration to Bristol-based illustrator Tom Lane, better known as Ginger Monkey. Spotted one of my screenprints whilst browsing his blog at www.gingermonkeydesign.com Be sure to check his portfolio section too as his work is truely amazing.
Took a trip to Ladram Bay the other day and it was actually awesome. There's like seven or eight stacks in total which all used to be caves and arches that have since collapsed. Never really heard of it till this week but saw a photo in Resort magazine and hunted it down. Here's amap if you want to go. ABOVE: Berol drawn stack with some photoshop colour.
Beardy YDNA teesh now available! Material manufactured solely using renewable green energy from wind and solar power. On sale at Backyards Skate N Surf, Bornemouth. www.backyardsshop.com
My current pair of Emerica Francis's photographed after every skate since I bought them. This has taken way too long to put together as I dont skate as much as I should do these days. Wanted to carry this on longer too but they're pretty much dead now. Cant see it in the video but I'm through to sock on the right sole. Hoorah! Fresh shoes in the post!
Recently designed a logo for my friend's textile company and just finished putting together a handfull of these tags. Design printed onto acetate and attatched to 120gsm card with string.
Just found out YDNA shred teesh made it into this months Sidewalk stocktake. Along with an image from their recent indoorpool session. Photography courtesy of Jake Moore.
Title I drew recently for an article in the next edition of Bristol-based publication, Issue one. Although the printed version awaits, you can read 'All shopped out' and other future articles HERE on the Issue one blog.
Recieved a nice parcel in the post yesterday from my friend Chess. She's just had a whole bunch of her illustrations screenprinted onto tee's and bags which you can find HERE.
Headed over London way last weekend via many other interesting places. Treated myself to a new black sketchbook in London Graphic Centre for the curious price of 1 pound and 1 penny. Spitalfields market was good too. Here's some things from along the way.
Took a trip to West Bay the other day and drew a couple boats from the visit. I think boats are nicer to draw when they're out the water. Especially when balanced on a few precarious bits of wood and a beer keg. (Click images for some dotty detail)
