New Website

I have designed the official website for The Wet Spot burlesque & cabaret show and I'm pretty pleased with how it looks. Click here to check it out.



We also made some tote bags and a set of pocket mirrors for The Wet Spot which you can buy here

Book News

Metropolis Books in Melbourne, Australia are now stocking my book and Magma Books in Manchester have recently restocked their store with signed copies.

To answer the emails I get asking if I will sign copies of the book that are bought from my website the answer is yes, no problem. If you want me to sign it for you just include a note with your paypal payment asking for a signed copy.

I've also had a few bits of press over the past couple of weeks:

Lomography

Last month I was given this fish eye camera from the Lomography Society who asked me to take photographs of what I get up to with my artwork and anything else I wanted to take pictures of, they will then be publishing my photographs alongside an interview.

I've been taking shots with it all over the place for the last few weeks and I'll be sending my reels of film back to the Lomography European headquarters in Austria next week so I should have my pictures and a link to the interview up within the next few weeks or so.

Cheers to Lucas Jakobsson for asking me to get involved with this project!

You Can't Avoid It. . .

Herman Munster

In case you're wondering why I've drawn a portrait of Herman Munster you've probably just forgot how good The Munsters was, so here's the intro from the second series to remind you. . .

Neck-It!

I drew a picture of a flower and Carlos from Venezuela has had it tattooed on the back of his neck. . .

Brilliant!

Wet Ink

A few days ago I received the new flyer and tickets for the next Wet Spot, which judging by the line-up looks like it's going to be an amazing night.


As usual you can get all the details on their myspace page

For anybody who is interested I based the dancing snake charmer on one of my favourite Enoch Bolles paintings.

This is the back print. . .

and this is the front print. . .

Nice one Mackey, lad!

They also have a new website

Lascivious

As well as the playing card I've also been working with Chloe from Lascivious on a couple of other projects, the first is this set of 'Naughtical Ties' which are basically a pair of blue and white ropes for using when getting naughty in the bedroom. Saucy.



The second project we've been working on are these stockings. . .



I don't think either of these items will be available to buy until early next year but you can keep checking their website for any updates.
They'll also be photographing one of their lovely models wearing the stockings next year which I'll post images of when I get sent them.

Click here to visit the Lascivious website.

If You Like To Gamble, I Tell You I'm Your Man...

I was asked to design a playing card for the company Lascivious and incase you haven't noticed it's the Ace of Spades, which I couldn't possibly be any happier about!



They're available to buy now from the Lascivious website and from all Magma book shops.

KRSN

One of my favourite artist's KRSN sent me this portrait he drew of me. . .

Amazing!
Cheers, mate.

Full Sleeve

Matt has been having a full sleeve of my artwork tattooed by Dave at Physical Poetry
I've just finished designing all the background work which is yet to be completed but here's a sneak preview. . .

Fudge Factory

In October 2004 I started the drawing below and posted it to Travis Millard at Fudge Factory Comics to collaborate for a fanzine I was making. He posted it back to me in September 2008 (3 years and 11 months later!) and I finally finished it today.

The drawing missed the deadline for the fanzine by about 38 months but it still looks pretty good I think.

Cheers, Travis!

The Wet Spot Party!

I just received the new flyers and tickets I designed for the next Wet Spot. . .
