your wedding

I still have nothing of great value to tell you so I will show you another one of my drawings, I really should stop with this one or there'll be no surprises (well, the surprise might come in trying to reconcile how I thought these images would illustrate any part of any poem). I can't actually remember the line that this was supposed to illustrate but I liked the idea of an open-air wedding party by a big body of water. The clouds here are pretty insane I have to confess. I am not sure what clouds actually look like I suppose. 

My next commission is some t-shirt designs which I am looking forward to very much but I won't be posting them here because I know what you're like you'll just steal them and put them on a t-shirt. You think everything can be solved or resolved just by t-shirt messages but I think that's an overstatement.

So I'm not 100% certain but I think I've completed the nine illustrations commissioned for a new book of poetry which I'll reveal more detail about closer to publication date. I don't know which one I'm happiest with, they're all good in their way (my least favourite is the one I did first - makes sense doesn't it - it took me a while to find my way with this). I like this one because the replicated drawing of the fighter jet has a kind of hipgnosis feel to it, something you'd get on the inner sleeve of a mid-70s Wings album maybe. As you will see when you buy the finished book, there's a whole bunch of recurring motifs throughout, though not in every picture. Anyway. I'm rather surprised that I came up with something I really don't hate.
