Berlin 2009

I'm back in London again after another wonderful month in Berlin. I uncovered some great things, fell in love with another sommerbad (illustrations based on swimming pool tiling to follow, I'm sure...) and met a Swiss photographer who is taking fantastic documentary photographs about life in Berlin during my first ever climb of the Fernsehturm.

This photo from the HORT studio is not one of his.

One dose of blood poisoning and countless coffee later...

I caught the ultra fast ICE train over to Hamburg for three days this week to help one half of megatalent Telegramme studio host their screenprinted poster show as part of Flatstock Europe 4. Good times!

WWW.EATJAPANESEFOOD.CO.UK/WWW.HOLLYWALES.COM is back!

So my blog will no longer be used as much to showcase commissioned artwork, but will concentrate more on experimental projects, news and some of the great stuff I am lucky enough to see...

Hopefully over time it will also become a resource for my students at WSA when I return as a teaching fellow to the BA and MA Graphic Arts courses in October. Have a look at the new site and let me know what you think!

Neon Indian

I just finished this 3-colour screenprinted poster for Neon Indian, which was a new collaboration with art direction by the fantastic Telegramme.

Holzkohle

I have never drawn with charcoal as good as this before today. Thankyou!

I'm working in Berlin again until October on some experimental projects, this week I have been exploring fotoautomats with Thomas Ormonde.
