Smitten Kitten and I got married yesterday in California.
We met through Threadless so thanks a million to the community, the % blowwwg peoples and of course the whole team behind Threadless.

Do we win a prize?

I did the character design for their Chillzone drinks and they have released them. YAY! I believe they have 900 outlets across the east of America.





Apparently kids are stealing the magnets of the characters cos they like them so much. hahaha pesky kids!

Just wanted to say a little bit about this tee.

As many of you know I have been striving for a second print over here at threadless. It's been important to me because I almost felt like the first one was a fluke. This tee means a hell of a lot to me.

The idea hit me as I flew over the Atlantic ocean on route to LAX. When I put pen to paper I decided to draw it exactly how I wanted it, tried not to consider an audience at all. I intended it to be dark, messy and be covered in inperfections. It's one of the first designs I have created to actually resemble the picture I had in my head.

I am over the moon that it scored well enough to print and I thank the community for that. I also have massive thanks to the whole threadless team. (I should sue you for me hurting myself when I fell off my chair after receiving the congratulations email, I kid)

Thanks EVERYONE and can someone at threadless thank Sila for modelling my tee, so cool, lol.

ok so I like to create narratives around my drawings and I am gonna tell you about the beasts:

A - A timid beast without a brain who has a secret crush on B but B always has her back turned to him.

B - A pregnant beast to Q who secretly lusts for C but C is too stupid to notice.

C - A worm like beast with no sense.

D - Like an upturned beetle D is constantly trying to get around onto his little stumpy legs.

E - E used to be much more ordinary looking but he is so annoyed with F he has slowly turned into an ugly twisted E plotting to destroy F.

F - F never shuts up and infuriates E. He wears a hat to show his self importance.

G - G is twisted with jealousy over half of H who he knows he will never have.

H - H is really one beast split by his narcissistic ways, totally in love with himself.

I - I is a space cadet who has never been to space but longs to feel and explore everything.

J - J dreams of eating people and other beasts but has no legs or arms to get around and has inevitably gone mad.

K - K sees no fear and is rather dim. He once ate a bag of nails mistaking them for chips.

L - L is a soft and gentle fluffy beast who's head is in the clowds. She reaches for the sky but is constantly legless.

M - M is the king of the beasts but is unhappy because he spends the majority of his exsistance upside down.

N - N are 3 cheeky beast constantly falling over eachother and generally being a pain in the bum to everyone.

O - O is terrifying and will eat your babies.

P - P is brother to C and is way flashier and fancy. a better dancer and has no need for a hat.

Q - Q is a confused beast. He can't work out why he has a huge grey tooth.

R - R is a dreamer, he gazes into the sky dreaming of having arms.

S - S is a sexy ghost beast who will sneek up on you but will cause you no harm.

T - T is a beast who has been to space but now dreams of another voyage to the human world. He too wants to eat your children.

U - The twin zombie beasts, always pulling in different directions and never quite making it close enought to bite their victims.

V - V looks like a rabbit but will tear you apart with her pinky.

W - W is a beast made from home appliances and likes nothing more than a walk on the beach. However, the salt reeks havoc with his metally beast bits.

X - X just does star jumps. bloody idiot.

Y - Y is convinced his arms are trying to kill him and he is probably right.

Z - Z is a naughty bastard. I don't think you need anymore information on him.




Yikes. i hope you like. so who is your favourite?

This was originally a project for a gallery show but it fell through. I will try and complete it anyway. Take a look at my FLICKR for larger versions or my painting blog& shop:
