Brains can two:

I've been slacking on the posting of this but after a mad printing and stapling session Brainscan 2 is now finished. Alex took a few up to the Alt Press fair at the weekend and theyre available now from HERE!

Chesil:

Me and alex had a little mish up to the cove the other eve. Been meaning to get on this thing for ages. Theres a wierd little dip in it too and ate half a tea light before it would slide. Got a 5050, 5.0 and smith. Photos courtesy of AP. Ta!

Drew this for my mate Nic t'other day and he's made some teeshes with it. Available at www.purpleorangeswag.com

Here's my entry for the Compassionate Dorset competition to end factory farming! They are a voluntary animal welfare group that promote compassionate living through fundrasing events and creative projects. You can find out more here: www.compassionatedorset.co.uk

Colwell:

So stoked to find a Gareth Brookes Zine lurking at the back of a charity shop inside the Colwell Centre today. Hand-stenciled cover and twelve pages of etchings and poetry for 25p! He's one half of Banal Pig comics and you can find some stuff here. www.appallingnonsense.co.uk

Marsh Harrier:

Found a book about birds for a quid. Heres the first of a few harriers I'm hoping to draw.

Travels:

Went up to London recently and got to skate this DIY park thats popped up in an old paddling pool. Also got to visit the mangle and meet Lovenskate Stu. Cheers to James for lending us a sofa and also hooking me up with a copy of the latest horse zine. www.horsezine.blogspot.com

Also went to Norwich and stayed with a great folk band called the woodland creatures. Definitely worth checking out.

Album artwork curtosy of George.

Chez Barbara:

Designed and printed these appointment cards for my mum's new tutorial business. Happy Mothers day!

A few things:

Finally got some wheels sorted. Picked this Humber 3 speed from Fareham. Brakes are pretty sketchy but fun on the flat. Went for a little ride to the chessil today and took some photos.

My friend Chess got a full page in 'Salisbury Life' magazine this month. Check out her stuff HERE. And finally some Brainscan hype. Issue two soon!

Cameras:

Heres a few old cameras I've been drawing recently. Didnt really bother with proportions this time and just really got into the detail. This is going to be a bigger piece I think but here's four for now. (Click for detail)

Carolyn White Photography:

Here's the final version of a logo I just created for Carolyn White - An events photographer who does a lot of work for various festivals including Endorset and Larmer Tree. You can see her work here. For all design work just send an e-mail to me at: joe_col@hotmail.co.uk

Zenit:

Been taking a few photo's with my grandads Zenit-E lately. Just getting used to it really but here's a few that came out okay from my first film.

Run over by a turtle!:

Issue 2 of Brash just came my way! 3 colour screen printed cover and fold-out insert. No messin! Cheers Alana. www.alanasartwork.blogspot.com

Twestival:

Finished my placement at revolting last week. Got to work on some cool projects and everyone was real nice. Did a bit of interface design which is something I've never had a go at before and also got to work on a photography shoot with Andy Whale. Here's a logo I created of the London Twestival competition whilst I was there.

Elemenophant:

I'm not sure why the long trunk but it definitely made it more fun to draw.

Revolting:

Started work experience at revolting this week - wearerevolting.co.uk

It's all in the detail:

Dee Doubleyou:

Here's some identity/branding I've been working on for my friend Darrell. For freelance web and system design contact: darrellwhittall@gmail.com

Thread:

Made a few of these the other day out of an old peg bag I found. £3 each if you want one just say hey. joe_col@hotmail.co.uk

Physio 4 kids:

Here is some branding & stationery I have been producing recently for a physiotherapy practise based in Hampshire. The logo had to have a proffessional/friendly feel whilst also conveying a sence of moving forward (getting better).

Snowside:

Been a while:

Been quite busy with work and feels like I havn't put a drawing up in ages. Here's a single-line drawing I did of the harbour the other day. Also recently got a copy of 'Dans anatomy' though the post. Check out his work here.

Brainscan:

Brainscan Issue One out now. Available from the elemenopee shop or contact: joe_col@hotmail.co.uk / Alex: tapewormzine@hotmail.co.uk

Heavy metal:

Went hunting round a few junk shops the other day. One guy was well nice and after spying my board, mentioned he'd come across something I might like. After a lot of rummaging he produced this beast of a longboard made entirely of metal. 5 pound well spent.

CULT:

My mate Alex has just had a bunch of decks made for cult.
Available now: http://cultskateboards.blogspot.com/

Plus my Joe Highton delivery also just came through.
Free screenprint and stickers too. Stoked.

Lino:

Been working on a new A3 lino. Not quite sure how im going to print this one yet but photos will appear when i do. I have also just set up a shop to sell a few elemenopee bits.

Business cards:

Printed some new business cards t'other day. Ten to collect!

Hip to be cool:

Doodled this idea down a while back but forgot to ever draw it up til now. Turned up when clearing out an old drawer and thought I'd give it another chance. It also made me realise I would like to have a go at making a stained glass window one day.

BDP & PIP:

This week I have mostly been drawing to the sounds
of Boogie Down Productions and Mr Pip.

Oh.. and this one won't leave my head either.

Alt Press Fair:

Here's collaboration I did with Alex Payne recently for this years alternative press fair in London.
