The Illustrated Ape Magazine

The new 1976 issue of The Illustrated Ape is now in the shops. I think its a really fun issue. I was asked to be the illustration editor and so I enjoyed working with New Future Graphic and selecting the illustrators.

It features great work by Jethro Haynes, Simon Peplow, Lizzie Finn, Holly Wales, french, Petra Borner, Nigel Robinson, Supermundane and many more.

The Sunflower Band

Since early 2003 I have been working on a music project called The Sunflower Band. The original idea of the project was to somehow interpret my drawings and paintings into music.

I have recently been able to convert my music to digital files and so I have made a Myspace page. So if you like you can hear my music at http://www.myspace.com/thesunflowerband
