Will be having a small exhibition with my brother at The Green Frog Cafe at Honey Street in Bodmin on the 20th. featuring some of my latest pieces as stretched canvases and my brother's panoramic and landscape photography, we'll be having a licensed evening preview at 7pm on Saturday evening, with the prints all being on show at the Cafe until the 4th May.
It would be great to see anyone who is able to make it on the Staurday evening, and many thanks to John and Jane Lynch of The Green Frog for being such marvellous and welcoming hosts.
Just been putting the final touches to this new series of four steampunk styled recruitment posters in readiness for the exhibition at The Green Frog Cafe in Bodmin on Saturday. These are all available to buy over on my shop, either as A2 sized giclee prints or as stretched canvas prints.
A quick selection and sketchbook, work in progress bits from some of the current projects I'm involved with or working on at the moment; a one shot monster comic for Hellbound Media, a two page strip for PM Buchan due in Starburst magazine in June, and some new work I've put together for an small exhibition this Saturday 20th at The Green Frog Cafe at Honey Street in Bodmin.

Steampunk 'recruitment' posters (there's a series of four of these currently available to buy from my print shop at The Bigfoot Studio site):
I encountered the fascinating blog of The Boffin's Bunker today after it's creator dropped me a line via Twitter, very sportingly looking to give my work a mention. Based somewhere in the heart of darkest Cornwall (I suspect a tad further down from where I am) it features some of the most strikingkly beautiful and, at times, hauntingly eerie steampunk creations, from baby lamp lamp babies, to arcane devices and 'found' jewellery, to the contents of eldritch trinket boxes and the kind of weaponry no self respecting ethernaut would leave home without. And all it would appear, crafted by the 'Boffin' himself, or perhaps with the aid of a minion or two in the bunker, who can tell? Details are rather vague and sketchy as the Boffin remains, like some Old Time Radio hero, shrouded in a steamy fog of mystery, brass and intrigue.
The blog itself is a veritable wunderkammer of objet de vapeur, with cogged up Main de Morts side by side with augmented lobsters fresh from the workshops of Captain Nemo's Nautilus. It's the kind of emporium that Carnacki would visit for spare batteries for his electric pentacle, where the arcane, the mathemetical, the occult and the engineered come together in a compelling body of evidence for a world that might just have been.
