These are the first sample swatches of my fabric patterns! Our idea was for me and Raspberry to combine forces – I design some fabrics which she can use in her work (and also sell the fabric in fat quarters or half yards).

I’ve been taking a lot of photos of natural elements so I played around with designs using seed pods, window frames, tied string in fences, ropes on beaches, bits of wood, pebbles, barnacles.

The first two designs here are of beach worn pebbles and shells, and a tied string fence. The designs are 42 inches wide but these are 5″ square swatches to check colour and quality of print. They are printed by Spoonflower. I think I will also look to hand print fabrics myself in the future but we’ll see what happens.

So we think we will have some finished pieces and fabrics available pretty soon, I will keep you updated!

Here’s a new gig poster design I’ve done for Geoff Farina and Chris Brokaw. The poster will be screenprinted and digitally printed. I will be screenprinting the poster and will let you know how I get on!

In 2010 I’m looking to up my game with gig photography. You may have noticed I’ve been a keen gig photographer for some time now. But I’ve always had to take photos from the crowd and sometimes, no matter how hard you try to get there early, you can’t get a spot at the front for photography.

So, I’m looking to hook up with a magazine (printed or online) which reviews gigs or a journalist who writes gig reviews. My part of the deal is I get a photographer’s pass and get even better photos, and in return you get the photos for your publication. I can even organise a writeup of the gig if you need the words. You can see examples of my gig photography here.

I currently do All Tomorrow’s Parties festivals, plus some London gigs and hopefully the End of the Road Festival. So please get in contact with me if you think we can work together. Thanks!
