“I like looking at the past for inspiration: Modernism, Bauhaus, the work Massimo Vignelli, Josef Müller-Brockmann, … design that has a foundation and more important, has a timeless beauty.”
- Tom Muller / Bak 08
The 8th issue of BAK Magazine is now online. The theme of this issue is “Me”, and it features interviews with Nik Ainley, Timothy Saccent, and myself (scroll down in the “interview archive” column), and more.
You can download the magazine for PC and Mac for a dose of full screen goodness.
Scott Witham’s new book Print and Production Finishes for Promotional Items published by the always excellent Rotovision is out now, and features work by yours truly.
The book explores the creation of promotional items from a production and manufacturing point of view. I sent in Mam Tor: Event Horizon™ book 1. I can hear you shouting “Thats a comic, not a promotional item!”, but then again one of the goals of Event Horizon is to promote new up and coming talent - and it has succeeded in that already. So there.

The current issue of Computer Arts Magazine (#136) has a nice little write-up on the Wallpaper Project curated by the Space Jockeys, which I’m participating in (and still have to send in my piece).
“Wallpaper, the new collaborative project by graphic design agency The Space Jockeys, is calling on designers and illustrators from all-fields to lend a hand in the shared design venture.
The aim of the project is to unite as many up-and-coming artists as possible and get them collaborating with more established design names.
So far, the likes of Computer Arts contributor Sam Gilbey, Hellobard, Tom Muller, Richard May and Gavin Strange from Jam Factory are all involved, bolstered by rising stars such as Couk, Map-Map and MmmYeahNice.
“The concept was inspired by an after-party doddling session, with six of us simultaneously drawing on the same pad,” explained one half of The Space Jockeys Alex Cicciu. “We then decided to take it online in the form of Wallpaper.”
As well as Wallpaper, the Space Jockey’s site also hosts profiles of the artists involved in its Uncovered section. There’s no deadline for the project as of yet, and anyone interested in contributing should get in touch via email.”
