Kleiner Shames, Patch Plummer, Will Elsom and Myself drawing on walls for fun (and free Cliff Richard Tees)

30 Seconds with Frankie

2011-11-21T04:59:00.000-08:00

Frankie (the boy genius) has no problems skating Daveside, while everyone else was struggling to 5.0 the quarter, he managed to bang out about 10 tricks in 5 minutes.

check it!

The OX-FAM

2011-11-21T04:50:00.000-08:00

Neddy has been working hard over the last two years on this Oxford-ish scene vid, and it kills it.
He asked me to do all the illustration/design for it and it which I was stoked to do, it was pretty different to what I usually do but it came out way better than I thought it would!

Go here and buy it right now so Ned can get cracking on the next vid (maybe he'll even let me have a trick in it)

Black Ink Only

2011-11-19T12:44:00.001-08:00

A few weeks ago, myself, Mike, Patch, Alfa, Voyder, and 3Dom did a live drawing at Detour in Bath. It was a rad night and everyone killed it, thanks to Levis and Edding who sponsored the night, and of course Toff and Steve at Detour for letting us draw all over their walls.

New studio, new stuff

2011-08-23T13:23:00.000-07:00

Moved into a new studio with some dudes a while back, so expect some new work soon. For now you'll have to just settle for these business cards I printed today!

HIGHBROW

2011-06-28T08:18:00.000-07:00

If you skate you should go here and buy one of Mikes Highbrow boards.

It the raddest company going, run by one of the raddest dudes (who shares my passion for drawing cocks).

2010-02-09T04:08:00.000-08:00

A load of us went for a mini trip to Sweden at the weekend, while everyone else was throwing themselves up/down/over everything in sight, I decided to ride up stuff instead.

Booze and Pens

2010-01-22T07:17:00.000-08:00

Me, Kleiner Schames and Mr Yeti were asked to do some live painting at the Cellar, Oxford for the Free Range night,good times were had all round, especially when someone started on me for drawing all seeing eyes!!!
This is the result...

I draw, therefore i bore...

Stupid doodles

Fully Flaked

2009-12-27T09:49:00.000-08:00

Jim Phillips

2009-11-04T10:43:00.000-08:00

Something i'm working on for an album cover, obviously its totally influenced/ripped of from Jim Phillips, but i tried to put my own spin on it-probably hasn't worked though

Pipeline...

2009-10-27T16:00:00.000-07:00

Oxfords very own take on the big push, one month to film and edit your own skate vid and then submit it to ss20.

2009-07-23T12:38:00.000-07:00

I wish the local rude boys outside the house would fuck off, they're so cool, smoking weed, playing proper shit grime and shouting at the top of their heads.
Amazing

2009-07-22T11:02:00.000-07:00

Me, Max, and Bod went to the local piece of shit park, everyone was shredding, especially Max, heres me being a dick.

Seriously, how can someone never of heard of Bigfoot and the Hendersons?, admittedly when you try and explain the plot to someone, it does sound pretty shit!

12 demi-godets

2008-11-02T06:01:00.000-08:00

I've been converted to paints. i really don't know why i hated them so much, but recently i've been feeling them way more. its kind of like being a kid and learning to draw all over again.

and again...

2008-11-01T07:41:00.001-07:00

Put away those pens

2008-10-31T04:39:00.001-07:00

2008-10-15T04:22:00.000-07:00

Mixtape coming soon.
Might even turn it into a podcast if i can work out how.

2008-10-12T15:50:00.000-07:00

Jimmy is one of the best people i know, true underground ripper, sweet fiend, Gino obsessed, and one of the nicest dudes i've ever met.
Seriously, this might be one of the best switch bigspin heels ever.

2008-10-07T07:21:00.000-07:00

Michael Seibens got a seriously amazing thing going on here.

N.I.B

2008-10-07T05:36:00.000-07:00

Black Sabbath are rad, my favourite thing they did was kick ozzy out and try to convince the world that they would be just as successful without him!
I really like the look Ozzy had in the mid 80's, fat, crazy dyed hair, eyeliner and full on fucked up-ness.

Souls being captured NOW

2008-09-30T12:05:00.000-07:00

ss20 are finally getting round to making a video! and my friends filming-maybe i can get a few no-complys in there!

noodles and doodles

2008-09-22T05:05:00.000-07:00

Back at uni-robbing the neighbours internet and living off 8p noodles is fully the life for me.

Maxwell...

2008-09-04T06:53:00.001-07:00

He is fucking amazing.

First.

2008-08-15T04:52:00.000-07:00

ok, so the weather has been shit for the last week or so. i decided to spruce up my cruiser with the first HLA graphic, stripped, re painted and ready to shred the nearest curb.

over it

2008-08-11T08:59:00.000-07:00

whatever happened to global warming?

2008-08-08T05:23:00.000-07:00

in the past few days i've realised just how much i hate cats.

yeah blood

2008-07-27T04:14:00.000-07:00

finding a can of spray paint and doing something in less than 20 seconds is the new black.

better late than never...

2008-07-21T14:29:00.001-07:00

ok, so ages ago i posted the cover from a graphic novel i was working on. well now its finished and i've posted up the images for all to see, i might be doing a follow up if i can get my arse in gear.
also, how easy do you think it would be to run away to new york-seriously, i'm considering it.

(for some reason its decided to post the images in a fucked up order)

Another poorly wrist (or another excuse)

2008-07-07T14:12:00.000-07:00

Stuff thats going on in my world:

-another broken wrist
-lame summer job packing books
-designing some stuff for SS20 skateshop
-catching up with old friends
-being told about my friend meeting and then hanging out with Don Pendleton and having no idea who he was.
-being obsessed with knights/suits of armour
-needing to get my life sorted

Mumdance

2008-06-01T15:12:00.000-07:00

This isn't finished yet,just a first draft, but it seems like i hadn't uploaded anything in ages. New stuff is in the pipeline, keep them peeled.

Look out for Sleeves

2008-05-10T05:01:00.000-07:00

its coming...

Why did you let this happen?

2008-05-03T10:32:00.000-07:00

Seriously, Boris as London mayor? what were you thinking, the man can barely tie his own shoelaces, let alone run the capital. 24 hour tubes on the underground-good luck with that! Don't even get me started on his somewhat 'backward' take on mixed race marriages.
The mans a fuckwit and now he's in control of the capital. I hope you're proud London.

Smashing the Cherry

2008-05-01T09:28:00.001-07:00

This is the cover for a graphic novel i'm working on, its the story of how i lost my virginity and will probably offend quite a few people. but to be honest i don't give a shit.
enjoy.

BMX's were so rad when i was a kid

2008-04-30T12:18:00.000-07:00

These were gonna be part of something bigger, but now they're just throwaway doodles, so i thought i may as well post them for other peoples eyeballs to see.

The story of bods wrist

2008-04-12T08:06:00.000-07:00

My brother broke his wrist last summer, and its still not right. this drawing is a work in progress for an ongoing project. i'll post the finished piece up when its done.

A response to Phils last post...

2008-04-12T04:20:00.001-07:00

we all know they're the best.

2008-04-11T08:43:00.000-07:00

Another flyer, for another night in london, i feel so scene!!!

wonderfully horrible

2008-04-06T09:37:00.001-07:00

Phil is awesome, thats all you need to know about this.

Hreda and Theo...

2008-03-30T09:57:00.000-07:00

Hreda are my friends band from oxford, think explosions in the sky, meet sunn (((0))). there fucking amazing. anyway, they're on tour in april and i'd advise anyone to check them out.

s.c.p

Disk Jockeys are the new gods?

2008-03-16T12:55:00.000-07:00

i got asked to do a poster for 1234 records this week-this isn't the final version, just a rough.
looks like it'll be a good night, shame i'm skint!

2008-03-12T16:17:00.001-07:00

You can't beat half cabs (except for maybe a pair of eras when the weather is better).

click click click...

2008-03-12T12:45:00.000-07:00

I don't understand photography, i never have. What is it with every pretty girl who's into bands saying she "wants to do photography". If this keeps up half the population will be 'photographers', taking awful pictures of the 'coolest bands' either looking sweaty on stage, or 'chilling around in there studio'
Whats wrong with doing a drawing? Is it that people are scared of it because its harder than just looking through a viewfinder and pressing a button?

"Petril"

2008-03-07T10:09:00.000-08:00

Typical, you wait ages for one drawing to arrive, and then three turn up at once...

nu-rave is the best music i've ever heard...

2008-03-07T09:48:00.000-08:00

Have you seen what the kids at art school in london wear? What the fuck!

"get out the way you fucking pigeon"

2008-03-07T06:23:00.000-08:00

fuck kickflips, its all about mini ramp. cruising about doing slash grinds feels a million times better than trying flips all day. i already knew this, but this week my love for mini has grown ten fold. Go out and try some things you've never tried before-you'll land it before you realise.

Degashred.

For steve...

2008-02-22T03:48:00.001-08:00

we're watching you watching us...

2008-02-03T11:06:00.000-08:00

Degameth is go, BIG plans are in the pipeline, and thinhs are really hotting up both side of the atlantic. go to the degameth myspace to check out the promo vid that tim made in about a week with his 'mad video skillz', theres more to come.

anyway, i haven't uploaded anything new in ages, so i thought i'd try something a bit different. Either you'll be offended by this image, or you won't. its really up to you.

True love will find you in the end...

2008-01-09T12:16:00.000-08:00

Its on...

2008-01-08T06:54:00.000-08:00

Degameth is slowly picking up pace, Degazines and T-shirts are in the pipeline and rumours of several uk members visiting the nyc division in the spring are rife...
This shits gonna be amazing.

NYC division...

2008-01-04T05:00:00.000-08:00

Phil, the NYC connection of degameth was back in town for a week or so, good times were had by all, skating, boozing, dealing with londons shitty transport systems, and chilling. we also initiated a new member into the gang, Young Paddy Jones. Welcome to the family!
