a happy reject

this little cupcake frog didn't make it onto the final board of my latest job, but i still like him... happy friday from us to you :)

hello!

just a quick hello from me and a couple of photos i managed to take with my crappy camera while i was out today. the weather in London at the moment is appalling and it makes me want to hide in some deep cave somewhere and hibernate to only wake up in spring... but, since this is not possible i'd better go and finish packing my drawing utensils for tomorrow and thursday. it'll probably be quiet around here as i'll be super busy with an ace in-studio job. it'll be nice to be working with 'real' people/ a team for a change! i'm looking forward to it.
for now i'll leave you with some eye candy from Scott Balmer, Jay Cover & Eleni Kalorkoti
have a great week and i'll be back soon :)

OSDN magazine map illustration

remember this? i was gutted because i couldn't be there for the private view, but the kind organizers have sent me these on the post. oh the magazine is so exciting in its amazing format! shame i can't read it as it's only published in german and russian... but it's total eye candy, the poster is beautiful and i'm so pleased with to have been involved.
there's an ace video they've put up on the blog which you can see the folding of the mag here. wonderful, ins't it?!
