Tommy Higgins: A CheltBMX Original

Jay also has an always entertaining blog that I often look at, you can find it HERE.

Of course, there is a reason I’m taking the time to update this site:

Yes indeed, POPSHOT has arrived! It actually arrived a wee while ago, I just haven’t got round to putting it here. If you haven’t already bought a copy, you should. I don’t even claim to be a fan of poetry but in this handy format, augmented by beautiful pictures I did in fact give it a good read. You should too, so click HERE.

This is my drawing, which you can now also check out in the work section at the top of the page.

That’s it for now, going to try and take some photos of things I have made lately to put up here so stay tuned, as for new drawings and things, well you’ll have to keep checking back. Til then entertain yourself by listening to Mike Skinner’s mini mixes on SkinnerMike…

The issue of Cent with my drawing in made it through the post, pretty pleased with it, expecially given the time I had to think of something and get it sent out. Anyway you can see the picture properly in the work section up there ^^^.

I was going to put up the popshot picture but it’s nice waiting for the post to arrive so for now here is something I really really really want to make those rainy sundays a bit more bearable:

Stay bon.

Cheltenham graffitti continues to kill it.

Working on a few personal things at the moment including my first forays into colour, it feels like 1954 all over again.

Both Popshot and Cent have gone to print so the drawings I did for them should be up soon.

I’d be doing my friends a great disservice if I didn’t mention the sterling work they are doing, Charlie Duck, Tim Laing and my man Jacob Denno the captain of the Popshot ship. check out their respective websites by clicking on their names…

Bought myself a new sketchbook so I’m off to have a go. Once I’ve watched my 18th hour of The World At War… If you haven’t watched it yet, you ruddy well should.

Been working on some bits for Popshot magazine and .Cent magazine, neither of which I can show you til i get my copies but i can show you this:

Grand Designs is on any minute. over and out.

and below is the cover image for a mix cd I put together a couple of months ago.

Been staring at this screen for far too long. I need a cuppa…

Next is my first proper foray into home joinery, pre-varnish. all seasoned oak and smooth as a baby’s bum… I’m looking forward to some more timber based projects in the future. Here it is…

Finally we have an 11 metre deep well located between someones kitchen and hallway somewhere in deepest Gloucestershire. How snazzy is that?!

More soon…

and,

I don’t know much about grafitti, but I do know that this is as far as it goes in good old Gloucester.

Tim went to see a Conor Harrington exhibition once upon a time, a couple of years later I bought a book called “Weekend Warriors.” Not long after I bought that I was walking down Brick Lane and I saw this:

I don’t have the vocabulary to express how brilliant I think this is.

I’ve been doing some stuff of my own, not all of it pictures but you’ll have to wait a while to see the results. In the meantime here’s a taster…

That’s all for now, been thinking about writing explanations of the work I’ve got up here but I’m not sure its necessary. let me know what you think.

Liam Barry in the links section… go peep his stuff

This here is my degree show, can’t remember exactly but the drawing on the right is something like 100cm tall by 150cm wide over 2 pieces of heavyweight drawing paper. at some point I’ll get some high-res pictures taken of it but til then this’ll have to do.

In other news I have updated my links page with a link to my friend Aidan’s blog. It’s got nothing to do with illustration but he is brilliant and dead entertaining. go see for yourself.

Til next time,
