We spent Saturday in beautiful Warrenpoint. First time there and we spent the evening in a converted old bank building. The bathroom used to be the vault. The old vault door is still there! Nice place!

Adventure in Belfast! I was invited to talk on BBC Radio Ulster this weekend ahead of my appearance at Bangor’s Aspects Festival on Monday. Lots of fun and an opportunity to explore BBC broadcasting house for the first time. I’ve dropped a link to the show in the comments. My interview starts one hour into the show :)

From the archives. Years ago I created a bundle of illustrations celebrating Fisher Price playsets from the 1970s. They’ve always been very popular with folks of a certain age

A great article about our upcoming appearance at this year’s Aspects Festival. Check out the festival programme and come along. There will be prizes, a killer slideshow and more than a few amazing stories to share

I'm part of the line-up in this year's Aspects Literary Festival, talking with Andi Jarvis about my biggest adventure in illustration to date. I'll be honest… we still have plenty of tickets left for the event on 28 September. It's an enormous 3D, rock & roll, California story that drops a LOT of famous Hollywood names and explores the stories behind some of the most famous songs ever written. If you're in the North Down Area, please come along, I guarantee you've never seen or heard an adventure like this ever before. Read more in this week's copy of the Co.Down Spectator!

Such fun was had at Art is a Trade in Belfast at the weekend. A pleasure to meet Andrew Cooke again and see so many cool projects, choppers. Scramblers, ceramics, paintings and more

Very sad to hear the news about Stephen Walker’s passing yesterday. I scribbled more than a few cartoons about him in recent years for the Spectator newspaper and he often called round to our studio to buy the original artwork. Always a lovely guy. My condolences to his family and friends
