I was invited to the University of Hertfordshire on the 28th to talk about my Art work and my time in the Gaming industry.
I talked to the students about being Concept artist, my influences, Freestyle Games and Activision, and what the industry expects from a Concept artist. The presentation went on for an hour or so finishing up with a Q&A. After a short break I was then asked to do a live digital drawing session for 30 minutes whilst the students asked more questions. Pritty tricky at points, as my mind would focus on their question and not on the drawing, then visa versa. Takes practice I guess…
It was a great experience, hopefully giving the students a little inside insite to the Gaming industry.
Thanks to Neil Gallagher for the invite.

My old friend ‘The Krah’ put on an Urban Art show at the Foundry gallery in London, inviting myself and a host of top fellow street artists such as Hutch, Pure Evil, SRI + many more.
I couldn’t make the opening night but heard it went down extremely well, selling art work by the bucket load.

The Rising Styles Hip Hop festival let me scrawl on their Freeze Box wall in Brighton’s city center a while back.
I allocated myself only 3.5 hours to create some art as my Daddy duties were calling.

We’re coming to a conclusion on the new dan&dan vinyl toy for the end of 08.
We can’t announce it just yet, but I can leak we’ve got the legendary Hip Hop flyer king, Buddy Esquire to create the box art!
You can see Buddy’s amazing art in the book ‘Born in the Bronx: a Visual Record of the Early Days of Hip Hop’.
