I don't take commissions on these anymore alas as previously announced. However this one was made as a gift for a youngster starting school this week.

A new A5 size zine 'The End of the Beginning: Some Drawings and Paintings 2020-2024'
20 original drawings and paintings. Some have appeared on my social media in the past but a number are published for the first time.
Pretty much what it says on the tin. This was put together with this years Small Press Day Event in mind. However various elements have conspired against it being ready for then. It should be ready within the next month or so though and can be pre-ordered via this paypal link.....

Paddy McAloon: The Missing Interviews
I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from the great John Birch the other day informing me that he had published his long mooted book of unpublished interviews with Paddy McAloon of the brilliant and much loved band Prefab Sprout. The book is titled 'Paddy McAloon: The Missing Interviews'.
These were carried out as part of the research for a follow up to his book 'Prefab Sprout: the Early Years' to be titled 'The Thomas Dolby Years'.
The book features a handful of rough illustrations I did based on the bands album covers. I did these back in 2018 so I had virtually forgotten about the project when I got John's email.
You can order a copy of the new book on the link below as well as John's previous two books on the band (both of which are excellent!) The previous books are 'Prefab Sprout: The Early Years' and 'Myths, Melodies, Metaphysics and More' (originally published in 1993 and expanded in 2017)

Apologies for the lack of updates on this site of late. Here are some pics from various work in progress projects and random other new and new(ish) pics that I have not posted before.
'School Bop' and 'Flooded Race Track' are works in progress from a forthcoming zine project called 'How Do I Explain this?' made in collaboration with 2022 Papatango prizewinner Clive Judd.

Last Hand Drawn T-Shirt Art
In December I announced that orders/commissions on hand drawn t-shirt art had ended. I may still consider making the odd one if the fee is absolutely astronomical though. Don't hold your breath then.
Here is the last one. Which is a remake/re-imagining of a shirt that was made to mark the publication of the short story collection 'Smoke and Other Tales' by Gerry King in 2015. Here are both shirts.
