verve magazine

I do illustrations for verve magazine, here is the first one. its for an article on DubStep so i was trying to get the whole dark music /dj/soundsystem thing goin on. i drew the pic then went over it in photoshop

pics i do while doin my day job

I work as a charity fundraiser in a callcenter. i dont mind it really cause the place is really chill, everyones a student/artist/out of work actor and best of all i get to draw all day while being paid. following are pics ive done while on the phone. just 1 for now but will add more when i have chance to scan them.

do you not know that there are only 500 snowleopards left in asia. they need to be saved dammit!!!

Object that describes me. Uni project

 The object i brought in was a picture of my son Gabriel and myself as nothing shows who you are better than your own kid. This was taken a week after first meeting him(long story). We are both really tired as had been on the beach all day. this pic is really important to me as it was the best day in my life.

 Gabriels house is on this map. i chose to concentrate on maps as i often look at this map and wonder where he is right now. is he walking to school or in his house. it helps me picture it. already writting this i cant wait to see him again

this is a treasure map cut into card from lisbon to london or the other way around.

 

love this beach, teaching Gabs not to be scared of the water,how to make castles.........and destroy them.

ice cream ,swimming, an putting seaweed on my head to look like hair.

a piece an art director wrote about me some years back when i was doing graffiti under the name tokie
