Old soaks

Drew some classic alcoholics.

Look! Stop! Listen! Look!

This is a job I worked on about a year ago.. and in true Strickson style is taken a year to put it within sniffing distance of the internet. sorry... A wonderful new series of road safety videos and prints for the Department of Transport devised by Smith and Foulkes at Nexus and Leo Burnett; I had the great pleasure of working with them helping design the font in the titles. It was a brilliant experience, and I'm chuffed to bits with the outcome - (it just took me ages to tell you)

Prangsta work

In a quest to conquer most fields of work, I have begun working with the incomparable Melanie Wilson and Prangsta on a new press pack, and generally helping her and the team make it the most successful costumiers on the world. AIM HIGH PEOPLE

Here is some work in progress.

I had a summer part 2 (v unartistic.)

I went and did a bit of European travelling like innit. Someone's got to.

Berlin again... most of it spent indoors. Went to see my friends exhibtion at Neurotitan which was a bit good; 'Urban Witches Not Bitches' Included the work of Rubbish Fairy, Diana Arce, Fake Mistress, Legs Akimbo of the ace Team Plastique and Lucy A. Roberts and kind of raped your eyes in a very good way.

The there was the usual round of soviet war memorials and cheap karaoke.

(MC Gaff E on the mic. There is none better. )

Then a bit of being a Parisian! TWICE!

More about the second visit later... that was work related, and therefore slightly more relevant than this load of holiday snaps no ones probably the slightest bit interested in....

I had a summer part 1

You know how it is, you get busy then forget to update anything for about 6 MONTHS. Here's a few new things.

Gaggle has kind of gone a bit mental, and we've been all over the shop lately; a Radio 1 session in Maida Vale.

Random bits of stuff,

And a prototype mountain, of course.

And I've decided to become a professional face painter. Goodbye cruel illustration world.
