Private Eye #1303

 
If you head down to your local (UK) newsagent, corner shop or supermarket from today, you can grab the brand new issue of the simply brilliant Private Eye magazine.
In it you'll find my first contribution to the mag!
I am honoured to be gracing these pages as I've bleeting on about  the mag for a long time.
It's only £1.50 and it's a fantastic magazine even if you aren't so keen on seeing my silly scribbles.

Around the world....

Sorry for the lack of posts this month. It's actually because I've been super busy. As well as my usual English and French language stuff, in the last weeks I've had the pleasure to have had my work in Polish and Portuguese too. My work for the anthology New British Comics #3 has been translate for the Polish version... 
 and I did an editorial piece for Brazil's most read newspaper Folha de S.Paulo! (I'm not sure I'm allowed to show it but here's a peek)...
 
I also have my usual promise of more news very soon.

The UK Forests - an archive report

At the risk of turning this into a political blog, I want to post this little report I did in March this year about the coalition governments attempt to sell of the public forests.
I'm posting this because tonight I found out that the Public Bodies Bill is having it's third and final reading in the house of commons. (It's last stage of parliament-people standing around making changes before the Queen approves it and we live under it.)
Within the Public Bodies Bill was the proposal to sell the forests. The report explains more...
The bill appears to be coming in and it still affects a lot of things. It will allow the Government to close or merge 495 public bodies who deal with things like nature, legal aid, sports, arts, human rights and more.This is actually an interesting read on the process of the bill:

Westminster Bridge

I went along to the protest which blocked Westminster Bridge last weekend.
It wasn't the most exciting demonstration I must admit. Very relaxed and more like a street party.
I still stayed a while and saw some amusing stuff. These were some of them. A lot of peculiar and funny things do happen at protests.

Stool Pigeon #34


A new Stool Pigeon has hit the streets. It's the fantastic free music newspaper available all over the place.
And of course it has a new gig review by some guy (me). It covers the recent show by excellent The War On Drugs. Grab a copy to see the whole review plus exclusive David Lynch interview and loads more essential music stuff.


Here is the review from last issue...

On the radio!

I'm going stick a music video here which I made a little while ago. It's kind of celebrating the fact that it got a mini plug on BBC 6 radio! The lovely jubbly Marc Riley (of The Fall fame too!) played an amazing band who I've loved for a long time, Bo Ningen, I sent him a message and he surprisingly mentioned that I had made the video for the track and that I also worked with the legendary Cats In Paris! Thanks Marc.

Je suis revenu de Festiblog...

 
Oh yes and it was great! Merci beaucoup aux organisateurs pour un très bon weekend.
Thank you to all the very nice people who came and asked for un dédicace aussi.
It was a challenge to draw some of your requests but very fun. (a 'mess' or 'someone who is lazy but thinks too much'!)
And hello to all the cool bloggers I met. It is always a pleasure to meet all these people and to talk about stuff in strange sentences mixed with French and English. 
Unfortunately I didn't have a camera but there are lots of pictures

A bon weekend in Montargis....

Yes and so another fantastic festival in the French town of Montargis has passed. It was so good to see friends again and make new ones. It's always great to have people come along to have stuff scribbled in.
This year was another stunning festival of great books, great people, great food and great memories. A massive thanks to Arnaud Floc'h for creating the festival and Francois, Marie, Thomas and all the fest staff for making it special. A big thanks to all the creators too who gave me one of the warmest welcomes ever! Bring on Montargis Coince La Bulle 2012!
A quick drawing done at Montargis.
