Idle moments

A few years back I began to get work published here and there, mostly in The Idler, the bi-annual, book-shaped magazine that campaigns against the work ethic.

Here are some of my favourites from this period. All were drawn in Illustrator and Photoshop.


This was the first one, I think, drawn for their fine line between… feature. This was the fine line between old people and trees.


This was from the same issue – an illustration for Mark Manning’s A Year Underwater. Mark Manning was probably better known as Zodiac Mindwarp of Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction fame. Manning said my picture made him look beautiful, but he was very drunk at the time.


This was for a feature on Edward de Bono, famous intelligent person and creator of lateral thinking.




These two were drawn for the fine line between feature again. They were the fine line between mice and men and the fine line between 10 years ago and now.
