Music is Everywhere


I did this for my self-initiated unit in college and was rather chuffed with it. It was entered into the Craftex exhibition a few weeks ago as well as being in my end of year show, so it's been around a bit but is now sitting in my spare room looking at me.

I wanted to do an image that could be used to promote the smaller music venues in Glasgow - because there's hundreds and loads of them are amazing. The bigger ones like the SECC get all the hype but the smaller ones are more fun. I feel like I don't take advantage of living in such a brilliant city. So I wanted this poster to show a big clump of venues all running into each other and overlapping, like a really confused map.


I cycled around Glasgow taking photos of loads of venues and doing basic sketches of them. There were loads I missed out obviously, but I just picked ones I liked, had been to myself and liked the look of.

So then I drew it all up on an A1 piece of card and cut it out by hand. It took about 3 days I think. And many blades and much swearing. Here are some details:


If you want to buy an A3 print of this please get in touch. Or even the original if you'd like.

Mock New Scientist Editorials



One day I will actually do an illustration for the New Scientist. And then maybe I will be able to afford to buy the New Scientist. Both these articles are just cool. The paranormal one is why people believe in ghosts and the paranormal due to our brains being wired to assume there's danger where there isn't any, just in case. And the plant article is about how plants communicate with each other and transfer nutrients and water to less able plants and warn each other of incoming dangers and it's amazing and COMPLETELY BLOWS MY MIND.
