Very excited that my secret design has been chosen to be one of the limited edition Secret 7" record covers, to be exhibited at Mother London on April 12th and 13th 2014. 

It's all top secret about who did which design and for which song until 'record store day' on 19th April when you can buy a 7" vinyl from the exhibition for £45 and the money goes to War Child. More info here: http://secret-7.com/home#section-2

Exhibition 2014- Heaven and Hell at the Espacio Gallery

'Inferno'. Pen and ink drawing currently on show at the Espacio Gallery Heaven & Hell exhibition.

159 Bethnal Green Road, London, E2 7DG

The natural curiosity of what happens after death has been explored extensively throughout art and literature and I focused on illustrating the themes of hell depicted in Dante's Divine Comedy. 'Inferno' shows elements envisaged in the first part of Dante's epic poem which describes the 9 circles of hell. It's created in the style of a Vanita which throughout history have been produced to remind the viewer of the fragility of life and death. Vanitas are symbolic works of art whereby a skull shape is formed by objects and shapes often associated with reminders of vanity, mortality and the brevity of earthly life.

Very silly quick comic for my 8 year old brother called 'The Incredible Farty Pants and the Dog Egg monster'*

Detail showing 'uncommitted souls'. Part of new drawing for Heaven & Hell exhibition at Espacio Gallery Jan 2014

In Dante's Inferno, the 'uncommitted souls' (those who were neither good nor bad or those who didn't take sides in the Rebellion of Angels) lurk at the entrance to hell while maggots feed on their blood and tears.

New comic- When Zombie Turtles Attack!

Skelly Ghosts

Skelly Ghosts inspired by David Shook's poem:

Below there are policemen, shoe shines, nurses, dwarves, muggers.

Flames leap from windows & the sirens' shriek proclaims

the lordship of violence.

Here on the tenth floor we dead walk with suspicion, distressed,

alert, they won't kill us again.

Statue. Naked from the waist down.

Rude. And scalped.

Grave

I Know Your Body by David Shook.

I know Your Body
                   after Victor Teran

If you were a city
I could give perfect directions
to wherever they asked me,
I could map your neighborhoods &
catalogue your smells.

If you were a city
I would get lost every day
down some new corridor.
I would toss my map, hitchhike
your suburbs, wonder your downtown

David Shook
