Sheffield Sticker Round Up

Found these photo's from last year of just a small selection of stickers seen across Sheffield.

Johnny Sampson

Thus begins a regular feature of showcasing some of the awesome artists I'm lucky enough to have met either in person or stumbled upon online. We start with Chicago based artist Johnny Sampson. It's clear from his work that he has a fond love of all things cult and creates some authentically vintage images to really ramp up the nostalgia. I first became aware of Johnny's work through an excellent painting process guide available here for his awesome Warriors piece.

Take a look through his work and you'll find more examples of his excellent style and some great reference choices (never thought I'd see a 'Burbs piece!) You'll also see that he's kept busy with poster and tshirt design work (some of which is for The Hundreds brand).

Keep up the good work dude.

Web Feature

Big thanks to Jim Bowers over at Capedwonder.com for featuring my Superman piece 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' as part of his collection of tribute art. He even had some kind words to say on the 'what's new?' section. Thanks again Jim!

SSRG Merch!

Great to see my logo design for the Sheffield Steel Rollergirls on some merchandise! Here it is on a regular T but at the recent Sheffield bout I caught it plastered on hoodies and vest tops too! Really pleased with how this turned out, I guess a nice clean vector makes for a good screen print!

Congrats to all the SSRG for winning their debut bout here in Sheffield!

Tramlines @ SOYO - Live Art 25/07/2010

Epic day at Tramlines@SOYO on Sunday! This time I was working on a 6ft by 4ft board and had the whole day to work on it. Took me the whole day (about 7hrs) to finish it and by the end I was feeling various aches and pains from kneeling down to work on the lower half. Another successful use of pastels and letting the natural colour of the MDF show through for the skin tones. Great atmosphere working with the other artists as part of Stars In Stripes and a great soundtrack of the bands playing throughout the day.

Upcoming Live Art Event

More live art at SOYO but this time it's an 'all dayer'! In conjunction with this years Tramlines Festival a collection of artists, including myself, will be creating all sorts of live art from 1pm onwards! Just take a look at that all-day line up of fun, you'd be a fool to miss it!

SOYO Live Art 12/07/2010

Great night at SOYO last night as quite a few people were showing interest in what I was doing. I think having the previous weeks work (Peter Cushing) on display next to where I was working seems to draw peoples attention. All in all I managed to sell this piece while I was working on it and potentially have another few jobs lined up as well! As my friend pointed out, the biggest surprise of the night was just how many Trek fans are lurking out there! Resistance is futile!
