Plans have been afoot for a massive cityscape of Paris, but have been in the fortunate position of having a couple of proper nice commissions pop their heads in at the last minute, so my giant roll of paper has been banished to the corner and has been looking mournfully at me from the corner for days. 

...City, obviously. 

A Honda advert in this week's Observer magazine (and, oddly, my macaroni cheese) got me thinking about the underneaths. Until now, my efforts had been concentrated on what lies above, but thought it might be interesting to look at things from a different angle.

There might be a little something buried in the strata in the final version.

Creative Review is calling for illustrative redesigns of its logo, and the pull was so great to try drawing it out of buildings (as I'd experimented with in the past) I couldn't help myself.

Featured on the CR Feed here, so all comments left over there to say "My word, what a splendid logo, it should immediately be adopted" and similar sentiments are very much appreciated.

In the time-honoured tradition of the mixtape, I spent an afternoon collaborating with the delectable Hat&Beard to make a CD for a friend we had promised one to many moons ago. He did the music and I rustled up a cheeky little cover.

I've done a cheeky wee flyer for one of Sundown Multimedia's events, based in my old hometown in the Essex massive. If you can get down to Southend-on-Sea on the 28th February, be sure to pop in as it looks like it's going to be a cracking night.  

I bring to you a rare diversion from the usual scribbling to share a few iPhone scribbles – I was eagerly anticipating the release of Vellum, an stripped-down iPhone app that replicates drawing on paper far more naturally than anything else I've tried. I'm pleased to report I've not been disappointed, it's a joy to use and the limitations are generally pleasing rather than a hindrance.

Here's a few examples of my scribbled efforts:

Thanks, also, to everyone who's bought my cityscape picture so far – the response has been really rather overwhelming and it's all thanks to you lot. You are all fabulous.
