Ghost of Gone Birds - Bishop's O' O'

This is my illustration of the now extinct Bishop's O' O' for the 'Ghost of Gone Birds' exhibition and will be available at the shows as a 21x21 cm screen print of 20 on wood and a 42x42 cm Giclee print of 40 on a 310g fine art felt paper. The aim is to help raise awareness and money for bird preservation societies so that hopefully we can stop more species of bird from becoming extinct. The first of a number of Ghost shows start this week at the Liverpool School of Art and Design on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th May. Over 80 artists and designers are taking part in the project including Ralph Steadman, Jamie Hewlett and many more.

Masks Series Part 1

Over the past two weeks, I've found time to work on a personal project and I finally feel genuinely excited and enthusiastic about drawing again. I've really enjoyed experimenting without any pressure and I have found that the ideas for other images in this series are starting to snowball. I'm taking a little break from working on them at the moment to concentrate on commercial work but this is the first half of a series of prints titled 'Masks' that will be available in the near future. Once the collection is complete they will all be sale at my solo show in September. Enjoy.

Ben Newman Merchandise at the Tate

If you are heading to the Tate Modern in London then keep your beady peepers peeled for these tasty pieces of merchandise that I designed exclusively for the Tate shop on the second floor.This signed limited edition print of 100 measures 40cm x 50cms and is a steal at only £20, click HERE to purchase it while stocks last.
Next up is a malfunctioning robot on a T-Shirt printed on a climate neutral cotton so it was made purely from renewable green energy. Purchase of this fine garment can be made HERE.
Note to self, iron T-shirts before photographing them for promotional purposes. Ooops!
Lastly, the 'Scribble Cat' T-Shirt, again printed on the same climate neutral cotton. Both Tees are £20 and you can purchase this one HERE.
Also, please note that the cat on the tee appears to be white. He isn't. The sun was just really bright and seems to have bleached him out a bit so he doesn't look very blue in the photograph.
That's all, folks!

Batman No 72 on Covered Blog

Robert Goodin from Covered blog asked me if I would like to take part in the first "Covered Art Show' taking place at Secret Headquarters in Los Angeles. Covered is one of my favourite blogs and I check in there everyday at 4pm (GMT) to see the latest post so obviously I didn't hesitate to say YES. The show started a few days ago and features a stack of awesome cartoonists and illustrators redrawing any existing comic book of their choice. Prints and originals are available to buy via their flickr site, which you can find by clicking here.

I drew my interpretation of Batman No 72. I really struggled with this image mainly due to my workload from November through to January. Finishing the comic, the Porporpeius mask, the 'dicephaly brothers' toy and box, and a merchandise range for the Tate, plus the mania that is Christmas, all happened at the same time and I have to admit I felt utterly burnt out when I got round to doing this. Anyway, if this picture doesn't remind you of being extremely tired then you can buy it for the bargain price of $50 here. It is a giclee print in an edition of 20 so get 'em while their hot!

Mr Fish Dude

Yep, this post is pretty much identical to the previous one. This is a print for 'On the Wall' and I'll post more details once it's released. I think this is a much more considered design than the self promo Ad and it was a lot of fun ironing out the creases.

Holy Totems!

A friend rang me today and asked what I was doing. I told him I was drawing a totem pole playing a gameboy. He sighed at me. So I told him about a bird on a unicycle.

This is the first of a bunch of new screen prints that will be available this autumn.

Printing at SNAP

I had a fantastic time screenprinting at SNAP studios today. Tom Frost and I spent the day under the watchful eye and handy hands of Lucie Sheridan. It was such a great change from being cooped up at home by myself. We even managed to break for a pub lunch. Purrfeck!

Heres my bulbous body printing my reds.

Lucie's first layer of her robot card.

A row of my red layers.

Tom and his finished print.

Heres a close up.

A row of 'celebrity squares'.

SNAP, CRACKLE, PRINT

Here is a preview of a screen print that I'll be printing next week with the help of Lucie Sheridan at the Snap gallery and studios in Bristol. My print will be one of 24 prints by 24 different artists to celebrate Snap's first birthday. All the prints will be editions of 40. I'll post up some more details as soon as I have them.

I'm thinking of developing a print with this celebrity squares idea. Basically the idea is........... loads more squares!

Shitakiri Susume (The Sparrow Whose Tongue Was Cut Out)

This image is my interpretation of a nishiki-e print by Utagawa Yoshimori from 1864 and is based on an old Japanese fairy tale. It depicts the story of a old man and his mean old wife. The old man befriends a wounded little sparrow and nurses the bird back to health. One day the old man goes out and his jealous wife gets angry and cuts the sparrow's tongue out. The bird flies back to his parents and when the old man returns and finds out what his wife has done he travels to find the bird and beg forgiveness for his wife's cruelty. Once the old man finds the sparrow he apologises and they make him dinner. Then the sparrow offers the old man two trunks, one large and one small. "I'm very old, so I am not strong. I will take the small trunk". The old man takes the small trunk and when he returns home and opens it, it is full of treasure. The old lady curses her husband for not picking the biggest trunk and goes in search of the sparrow. When she finds the sparrow they make her dinner. "I must be going now. Bring me my treasure" said the old lady. She chooses the big trunk and says "I'm also old, but I'm strong". She returns home with the trunk and her spite is justly punished because demons and ghosts pour out of the trunk when she opens it. Each one more terrifying than the last, forcing the old lady to repent her ways and be kind.
