Ctrl.Alt.Shift Exhibition Opening

Here's me chilling with Lightspeed. This is the only picture I have to prove I was even at the opening and I'm barely on it, but who cares when I'm in a book and on a wall right? Lightspeed was a very cool dude. He knows his Star Wars and apparently he used to play Magic the Gathering so I can't help but respect the man.
Also on the wall is a comic by Julia Scheele, a very talented maker of interesting comics that I had the pleasure of (briefly) meeting there. She has a nice blog and is a contributor to Solipsistic Pop, a comic anthology I'm looking forward to getting my hands on.

Ctrl.Alt.Shift Unmasks Corruption is still very much on sale and you can get all 96 pages for a very, very reasonable price of £4.99! All profits go to Ctrl.Alt.Shift. For a taster of what they're all about I'll cite the "about" text from their site:

"Stand up and represent - that's what Ctrl.Alt.Shift is all about. Whether you're into music, fashion, politics or direct action, photography, design, dance, art or journalism, there's a place for you within our movement to fight social and global injustice.

Since Ctrl.Alt.Shift was born in June 2008, we've stormed embassies of countries who've imposed travel restrictions on people living with HIV, highlighted the plight of the 50 million women missing in India and created awareness around countless development issues. Breaking with convention to bring about change, we work with everyone from Plane Stupid and VICE to Sadler's Wells, Tinchy Stryder, Metronomy, Shynola, Alexa Chung and David Shrigley.

It's your world, take control."

Ennui Go!

Inspired by the song Ennui Go by rap group Magnolius for their art contest. You can listen to it here.

An enormous, bored demon/god is morosely torching a town and half heartedly doing away with it's defenders because he can't think of anything more fun to do.

Ctrl.Alt.Shift Unmasks Corruption

Ctrl.Alt.Shift Unmasks Corruption is now on sale and features a two page comic drawn by me from a script by Lightspeed Champion. This was my winning entry to a competition held by Ctrl.Alt.Shift that was judged by Marjane Satrapi, Paul Gravett and Lightspeed Champion himself. This is very exciting, both for winning and for it being my first published work!

My original artwork (with a traditional ink wash especially for display!) will be on display at Lazarides Gallery in Soho until 30th November, along side other original art from the book (including paintings by Dave Mckean, whom it is a ridiculous honour to be sharing gallery and book space with) so if you're in London at all, you should definitely stop by! It's free after all. My pages are downstairs in 'The Dungeon'.
