It’s been some time in development but has now gone to the printers. More information will be posted here soon… and here.

In the meantime, shown above is a sneak of the illustrations I produced in collaboration with Vivienne Westwood’s Active Resistance Manifesto. The characters are Pinocchio (as a human), Alice (from Wonderland) and Aristotle. Below are some reworked illustrations, produced in a series, to present the individual characters.



Welcome to Utopia. One of a series of prints based on that title using this word in all sorts of ways…
I know copy + paste is lazy but if it looks good I’m happy.

After 2 years of working hard in Japan, Yuki has returned to London for a brief holiday.
Good to see you again bro!

My work at Terrorist HQ continues and I found some time to paint up the end of our studio. We’re polite Terrorists and ask you to be as well, so if you are visiting please note the sign on the door.
I finished this just in time for the marauding hoards of Open House visitors. At the last count, over 1000 people had passed through the Village Underground premises. I hope they enjoyed their time there.

Font nerds activists might like to know that I used House Broken Clean by House Industries for the lettering stencil. The AKs are mine and the Wasps are the Terrorist label’s logo. This is going to be a transient piece… not in the sense that it is going to be moving anywhere (there are no wheels on these trains) but I will add and subtract elements to the piece over time.

I’ve always liked army green and the temptation to not give the train a military look was too much to resist.
