V&A poster for 'British Design 1948-2012'
Latest poster illustrated for the V&A which is going out to Art Colleges this week. Really enjoyed working on this - combining various badges of allegiance from different periods of history on a leather jacket. The image was developed to run alongside the next main exhibition 'British Design 1948-2012' which opens at the V&A on 31 March and runs till 12 August 2012.

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists
Saw a fabulous stage production of Robert Tressell's classic 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' by Townsend Productions who have adapted the play and set it to music for just two performers - Neil Gore and Rodney Matthew. They were both stunning. They are touring all over the UK now, so have a look at the Townsend Productions website for dates near you. Below is the cover of Robert Tressel's original manuscript, now held at the TUC Library.

Etgar Keret: What, of this Goldfish, Would You Wish?
Just got the latest issue of Prospect Magazine. I illustrated a short, dark, quirky, surreal story by Etgar Keret titled 'What, of this Goldfish, Would You Wish?' It starts: 'Yonatan had a brilliant idea for a documentary. He’d knock on doors. Just him. No camera crew, no nonsense. Just Yonatan, on his own, a small camera in hand, asking, ‘If you found a talking goldfish that granted you three wishes, what would you wish for?’
Hell's Kitchen & New York Historical Society
Just back from a great trip to New York. Visited amongst other places, Hell's Kitchen Flea Market and found some unique bits and pieces. Also saw these buttons and badges at the New York Historical Society, which house artefacts and objects from 'everyday life'. The museum had a moving display of photographs taken by New Yorkers on 9/11 and metal fragments from the planes that hit the twin towers. P'raps the best museum in NYC.
