pologies for the lack of recent noise on here, 2011 hasn’t been particularly kind in one way and another so far but it has brought a couple of rather nice illustration jobs. Firstly there is this recent book cover for S. C. Lee and his book Alana Rose: the Edward Francis Blogs. The author had a good idea of the overall composition required which made my job a little easier and it all turned out rather well.

The story goes something like this;

This year the geek shall inherit the Earth…literally. Edward Francis is an eighteen year old, part-time, video shop employee with far-fetched dreams of becoming a famous film director. He’s shy (especially around women) misunderstood and friendless, yep, the poor guy just can’t seem to get a break, whether he’s trying to meet his favourite actress Alana Rose (who he fantasises about dating) or attempting to get the local Goth girl to notice him. One thing’s for sure, it won’t be an easy ride for your new favourite blogger. Written in the first person in the form of an online journal, Alana Rose: the Edward Francis Blogs is the journey of a British teenager, growing up in a society that he’d rather forget.

The book is currently available to buy for the Kindle at Amazon here.

Also at the time of posting the author is looking for people to read and review the book on Amazon, if you’d like to do so please contact him via his website or via twitter.

“is a new website for people in Gloucestershire – or who may be visiting Gloucestershire, in search of sex” to quote the tag line.

I helped to create the website on this one as well as illustrating the characters of ‘the Doc’ and ‘PC Plod’. The sites name, and so the rather salacious post title, are best explained on the Sex In Glos website itself;

If you’re involved in any of the following – dogging, swinging, working as a sex worker, you’re a sex worker’s client, or if you’re a man looking for sex with other men – especially sex in public places, then this website is for you!

Sex may be fun – but hey it’s not without its dangers! Assaults on sex workers and people who have sex in public places are not uncommon, and there are also those cursed STIs. Whether it’s a warning about ‘dodgy’ punters, or a Syphilis outbreak, you’ll find news, views and alerts about how to avoid the pitfalls, and how to get help if you don’t.

I’m now going to sit back and worry about what kind of spam this post will lead to.

ery pleased to have had a rather large part, if I do say so myself, in the design and creation of the The Red Knob website, version 2.0.

The Red Knob is a limited company offering Sexual Health Education, Resources and Training, who I’ve been fortunate enough to create several illustrations, a couple of comic strips and the all new, all singing and all dancing website.  

As well as features retained from the old website, you can still help Semen Skater fend off attacks from a bunch of nefarious invading STIs in STI Invaders and also have a game of aSTeroiDs when you’re done.

The new site features a Sexual Health Forum and frequent updates from Private Dick, The Semen Skater and Talulah Fatale.

Right, enough with the links, I see I’ve knocked my last piece of illustration off the front page, best get scribbling…

ust completed, a series of promotional cards for The Red Knob sexual health fanzine.Take heed of Private Dick’s Valentines message…

‘ve just completed the DVD mastering and re-edit of the short film I made with a bunch of friends some 9 years back in Liverpool/Redditch, was it really that long ago?

There are some updated images on the projects page here, and also a new film clip.

If you’d really like to to see the film, plus associated outakes and the all new ‘directors’ commentary, then by all means send me an email, I’m not saying I’ll send out a DVD, but its always nice to feel wanted.
