I am pleased to announce that I will be creating a new film poster for SUMMER SCREEN PRINTS Exhibition.

As part of Film4 Summer Screen at Somerset House, 17 Illustrators are creating a Limited Edition Screen Print to accompany each film in the summer programme.

I am excited to be creating a print for ‘THRONE OF BLOOD’,

Akira Kurisawa’s samurai reworking of shakespeare’s Macbeth.

Throne Of Blood is Screening on Thursday 15th August and you can buy tickets to see this film from 10am on Friday 24 May 2013 here:

There will be an exhibition to visit before you watch the film where you can buy one of my limited edition prints.

Prints will be available to buy at Somerset House and online from 1^st August for £40. For more info visit:

Over the past week or so i have been working with @5Reelfilm to produce this limited edition screen print for their screening of the Danny Boyle classic, Trainspotting. The showing will take place at the Adelphi in Leeds on the 26th May 2013. The prints will be available at the screening first, and then any remaining prints will be released online afterwards.

This is a 4 colour screen print, limited to an edition of 80, the size is A2 and the cost is £30 GBP.

The print is officially licensed by Film4 and producer of Trainspotting Andrew Macdonald.

Tickets for the screening and pre-orders for posters (at the show only at the minute) are now available to purchase at the 5Reel film website.

5ReelFilm.com

Please support a really great idea and go see a great film, and pick up some original art at the same time.

Here is some more info on 5Reel, taken from their website.

5 Reel Film is the ultimate combination of film and art.

We screen classic and cult films in intimate locations within the Leeds area. Each screening is accompanied by a limited edition screenprinted poster.

We love cinema and believe films deserve to be watched in a social environment with like-minded people and the opportunity to celebrate all you love about movies. Our screenings offer an exciting alternative atmosphere in which to watch your favourite films , along with the opportunity to acquire some exclusive art by seriously talented up and coming artists. Each screening is a bit different so expect some surprises along the way.

Gallery 1988 Official Bad Robot show.

I have a piece in the upcoming Bad Robot show at Gallery 1988. Opening this friday, the official Bad Robot Experience is a show of art inspired by JJ Abrams body of work.

I went for a Cloverfield inspired piece, i figured there would be a fair few LOST pieces so wanted to do something different to that. And that unforgettable moment when the statue of Liberty head flies through the streets of New York just sticks in my head! Excellent.

These will be available at the show from friday in an edition of 30 for $35. And will be available on the G1988 website shop shortly after i’d imagine. As this is JJ Abrams approved a portion of the profits will go to charity.

More than 100 of the world’s most exciting and influential artists, illustrators have taken a paper dog and made it their own as part of the two-year Gerald Project. Culminating in a book launch and exhibition taking place at New York Design Week, the collaborative sculpture exchange is one of the most ambitious in the history of art and design.

I was commissioned by Arrow Films to create a new DVD cover for hardcore independent film Baise-Moi.
