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.
You should check out their website by clicking here

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

You Can't Avoid It. . .

It's nearly time for The Wet Spot!
I'll be there playing records again and they will also have copies of my book for sale on the night.

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.

Lost Art

This is my new T-shirt graphic for Lost Art in Liverpool. It comes in gold on black, red on grey, and good old black on white.
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.
