Private Eye & Time Out...

A recent report showed that more homeless families are being placed in
emergency housing than ever.

Emergency housing usually means Bed & Breakfast hotels or places similar. They might get just one room with shared kitchen and bathroom and they may be stuck there for a year or more despite the recommendation being six weeks max. With thanks to the charity Shelter, I visited and spent a little time with two families. My report is out now in the new Private Eye magazine. Just £1.50 with a super cover....

Plus I hope you can grab a copy of the new Time Out London. It has yet another Musical Tribes character.

Last weeks was 'House'...

 

This week....

FIRE! FIRE!

In the new Private Eye out now!

A couple of weeks ago I had the great pleasure of spending an afternoon pretending to be a fireman while driving around London in a fire truck. Every kids dream!

It was all for a good cause of course. The fire services are currently under attack for pathetic reasons motivated simply by money.

I've touch on some of them in my latest report. Go grab it now and also go to

Before June 17th to save 12 fire stations, 18 fire engines and 460+ fire fighters in London.

BOWIE - Private Eye #1338

It had to happen. Private Eye has my little visit to the V&A's David Bowie Is exhibition.
The editor had thrown the idea at me before Thatcher died. There was a small chance of covering the 'death party' in Trafalgar Square instead but I decided to go against the tidal wave of Thatcher-mania and stick with something people wouldn't expect.
There was such an abundance of things to draw, I used more paper than any other PE report so far.
Below are some bits that I thought might be enjoyed.

 

My version of a hand-drawn self portrait by Bowie.

 

A look into one of my layout ideas + a close up of lipstick stained tissue.

 There's Adam McQueen's measurement book for Bowie's Earthling cover coat. I thought this would be an

item of extreme worship for the hardcore fans but everybody seemed to pass it by.

Everytime David Bowie farts the Kemp brother that's not from Eastenders is close

by to hold onto any fame or cash that might rub off.

He is to Bowie what Uri Gellar is to Michael Jackson.

A little Bowie classic....

New Private Eye extra!

Dog-gone Dangerous! Scene & Heard in the new Private Eye magazine #1327 out now!
I headed out into the parks and estates of south London to find the vibe on those four legged killers roaming through our society known as dogs.
Here is an extra interview that didn't make it into report...

Pick up a copy of the magazine to read the less raunchy report.

Corporation tax. The public outcry...

Ok, so every couple of weeks I mention that there's this thing I do in a great magazine called Private Eye.

If you haven't had a look already, have a look at the new issue out now and see what the public think of big business not paying their taxes. Just £1.50 and loads of great stuff!
