A big congrats to my brother-in-law Nick (that’s him on the left) for scooping up the award for Best Engineered Album at the 2008 Malaysian Music Industry Awards (their equivalent of the Grammys)!
Yes, it’s that time of year again – this weekend we’ll be at the annual Bristol Comic Expo flogging our wares and depleting the hotel bar of all liquids.
I’ll be most likely parting with my hard earned cash and returning home with too many comics.
WIRED 16.05 cover – sections of feature illustrations
Recently I completed a set of digital illustrations for the latest issue of WIRED Magazine (Issue 16.05 – May 2008). The cover feature (featuring Steve Carrell) gives tips on how to ‘get smarter’. The Wired team asked me to illustrate some of the articles in the feature, such as how to maximize your brain capacity, why not to panic, thinking positive – amongst others (you’ll have to buy the magazine to see the rest!). Was fun to open the box of tricks again and do some abstract stuff while trying to not max out the computer.

Better late than never, I just found out some of my logos are featured in the book Logo Design, published by Taschen in 2006.
I remember sending stuff in, but never heard back from them. Anyway - good stuff – although I’ve seen nicer covers from Taschen…
The April 2008 issue of Creative Review has a nice full page article about
the For Feet From A Rat comic in Time Out we did with Mother.
Fairspot has added an interview with yours truly.
Go ahead and read it if you want to find out what music I’ve been listening to lately…
Smashing Magazine has an impressive list of great book covers including some all time classics. Quite a nice surprise to see the St. Cyborg’s cover I designed last year among the list!

Lately Liz and I have been burning the midnight oil on a pretty big print project: Tori Amos’ Comic Book Tattoo - a nearly 500-page deluxe-packaged anthology featuring some of comics’ brightest talents including David Mack, Mike Dringenberg, Jonathan Hickman, Carla Speed McNeil, Laurenn McCubbin, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Ivan Brandon, Calum Watt, Neil Kleid, Christopher Mitten, Elzabeth Genco, Chris Arrant, and Daniel Heard - all of whom turn in new work inspired by the music of Tori Amos. And we’re designing the mother!
The book will be released in 3 editions: regular trade paperback, hardcover, and a deluxe signed (by Tori) hardcover in slipcase. All available from the 23rd of July and launched at this years San Diego Comic Con.
Of course, more news will follow over the coming months, but in the meantime here’s the cover and the CBT logo by yours truly.

24SEVEN, Vol2 cover
Congrats to Ivan Brandon who just scooped a Best Anthology nomination at the Eisner Awards for 24SEVEN, Vol2!
Pretty cool to hear that a book I was involved with getting that kind of recognition!
