Best Consumer magazine cover 2015 at the Independent Publishing Awards in London. </div>

I remember this job came third in a week where I got four magazine cover commissions. So rather pleased that the sleepless nights that followed ended up being award winning ones. </div>

So the exhibition space is confirmed. Edinbrew are on board and the artists line-up is also confirmed. And what a sterling crew it is too.<br />
<br />
I got such a great response from folk after posting about it on the Creative Scotland website, i'm going to be spending the next few days emailing everyone and thanking them for their proposals.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, i'll have to make some work myself and it started earlier (see above)<br />

I've started organising an exhibition in Edinburgh. The "Pissed Modernism" exhibition will be a group event with some super talented folk, looking at politics, society etc... anything that the artists want to comment on. We're also sponsored by local craft brewer, Edinbrew, so hence the "pissed" part of the title.<br />
<br />
The venue, Gayfield Whitespace, has also asked if we would do some talks and/or workshops so i'm currently writing a talk on the subject of the business side of illustration, you know, the boring stuff like contracts etc... but something that is always very much overlooked during your time at Art School.<br />
<br />
The exhibition will be on 16th October, free entry.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05450633162716484875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-245069206193475037.post-66351620166668825222015-06-07T19:40:00.000+01:002015-06-07T19:40:51.737+01:00Edinburgh based Illustration Design Studio - Want Some Studio<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Being an illustrator with a fondness for politics (and taking the piss out of politicians) the recent, tragic shootings in Paris at the offices of Charlie Hebdo really struck a personal chord. And judging by the amount of images/responses posted on social media, I'm not the only one.<br />
However, in the case of Political Cartooning, my depiction of Ed Miliband (below) is far from the level of controversy that Charlie Hebdo reached.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_y-SmuGqcsO-d0lJ8eN8ZenlKqv6TxeHyT3eo6T9yKFd16cxr_7ESWgFTIv9biOCygTnXmPy_w2ttJwm0WTkaWQI9k9d7Iwz2AO7nMFVlp8mXK2VoPEI3DwO1k1z7MEiGc0ZNpjIJTdg/s1600/SuperEd+-+Marco+Bevilacqua+-+Want+Some+Studio+-+Illustration.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_y-SmuGqcsO-d0lJ8eN8ZenlKqv6TxeHyT3eo6T9yKFd16cxr_7ESWgFTIv9biOCygTnXmPy_w2ttJwm0WTkaWQI9k9d7Iwz2AO7nMFVlp8mXK2VoPEI3DwO1k1z7MEiGc0ZNpjIJTdg/s1600/SuperEd+-+Marco+Bevilacqua+-+Want+Some+Studio+-+Illustration.png" height="320" width="226" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The amount of subtlety that the cartoons published in Charlie Hebdo possessed was none. The cartoons were intended to offend but at least they did not single out any one group. You could say they were the most democratic of offenders. Their images were tasteless hyperbole and aesthetically void. Brushed aside by most, fit only for publication within their own pages. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But cartoons can be powerful, acting as a universal language with no linguistic barriers between cultures and their impact is immediate. Cartoonists being threatened and attacked is not new. Not least Charlie Hebdo which encountered threats daily, but other examples including Syrian Cartoonist <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17491184" target="_blank">Ali Ferzat</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Listening to radio phone ins, reading the papers etc... post-attack, a question that has surfaced is if this incident should now subject illustrations, satirists and commentators to a level of censorship? Of course, everyone wants free speech, but to some extent this censorship already happened: no national newspaper published the Charlie Hebdo images the following day, with the Editor of The Independent confessing to self-censorship. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Satirical imagery relies on humour. But different cultures find different things funny and within an ever widening integration of various cultures through immigration, France having the largest Muslim population within Europe, should opinions and the illustrations they are expressed in, be subjected to an ethical and moral code? Or should they be banal? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The mission statement of the Cartoonists Right Network International (CRNI) reads, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

So, it's a <i>you can say anything but don't shout FIRE in a crowded room</i> from the CRNI. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No doubt free speech is a treasured right. And one thing that Charlie Hebdo did was certainly fight for it. Everyday the cartoonists walked into the office, they were fighting for everyones right to express opinions and ask questions of those they drew. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But can we say the same for other cartoons? Where does the line get drawn? (pun intended)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In Japan, only last June was a law brought in that banned citizens from the ownership of Child Pornography. The law applied to real imagery of child abuse, but it did NOT apply to Manga and Anime. Popular genre's including Lolicon (short for Lolita Complex) thrive in Japan. Images of very obviously underage girls and boys playing out the most explicit of sexual scenario's. So does Japan have a problem protecting children or are those who chose not to outlaw drawings of child abuse standing up for freedom of thought and freedom of expression, the same as Charlie Hebdo did? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, returning to Satire, it's role within our culture and society can not be understated. This universal medium bridges gaps in Society between those who are lead and the leaders, exposing weaknesses and challenging ideologies through mockery and humour. The problem that we have is that Radical Islam has no humour and cannot even see the irony in it's actions. Fascism does not want to be challenged as they hold no answers when questioned. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If there was an agreement, between artists, to proceed with a code of conduct, how would it be set up? Who would police it? There are SO many questions that it's impossible and it isn't even worth thinking about. So should, on the other hand, we proceed in making imagery of a political, religious, sexual or any other nature completely banal and commonplace? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, if nothing is shocking or a bit risqué, then who gives a shit about it? If everything were to be mundane, (as a commercial illustrator I could argue A LOT of illustration already is) it would all just merge into a vast visual desert. As self acclaimed cartoon commentator Bill Mauldin once said, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>"Too many of todays cartoonists regard editorial cartooning as a trade instead of a profession. They try not to be too offensive. The hell with that. We need more stirrer-uppers." </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But Bill Mauldin worked under the brief that he could draw what he wanted <i>"as long as I got it in on time." </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On jobs that i've worked on over the past year, censorship has never been so stringent. I do try and comment on society, politics, religion, but I am always met with a scepticism and element of fear. And I really think that having an opinion on current affairs has turned people away. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since the turn of 2015, i've read a lot of articles on the various and ever popular "creativity promoting websites" proclaiming that illustration has run itself into a rut and needs to change; that it's full of bright, pointless shapes dotted about on a page and is just "whimsical". Well I think a lot of that has to do with the illustrators, who every year are churned out of art schools on mass and being told to be "safe," draw a fucking owl and that's that, as it's more commercially viable and it'll be published. But that means there is also a responsibility with those who commission and promote said proverbial whimsical owl. </div>

Here's a before and after of a recent mural commission I did for a well known Music TV company. The gun was deemed too much and so had to be replaced. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The works of illustrators, cartoonists and others must, in theory, be shocking or substantial enough to make people sit up and take notice. Works must challenge allusions and hypocrisy of hierarchy, whether elected or self-proclaimed. Work must be humble enough to act as light entertainment yet cut through the underbelly of issues wrong with society and push boundaries on taste and decency. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Within the age of the internet, imagery has far more reach now than ever before and more shocking images than Charlie Hebdo cartoons, are available to every single one of us at an instant. However, imagery and opinion that is published within a mainstream printed press holds a level of responsibility, in regards to taste, as it reflects on the printed media as a whole. Online publishing can be seen to have a diminished responsibility due to the anonymity and escapism it possesses. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cartoonists have a responsibility too. Their work must be intellectual and cunning and challenge those it targets without crossing a line of taste, unlike Charlie Hebdo which frequently stepped over. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Regardless, one thing that cannot be ever forgotten, is that everyday the offices and cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo were under threat. And everyday, without fail, they went in and did what was right; not allowing those who threatened them with force to silence them in questioning ideologies through satire. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A cartoon can be as important as it is insignificant. Those who fear them are the ones who try to dictate them: totalitarian regimes, editors and others in power such as politicians. And as we have witnessed, the consequences to those who create them and to others after publication can be devastating as well as unifying. </div>

On Hallowe'en, I took part in an exhibition in association with The Skull Appreciation Society. Here's a snap of my piece from the night (with mandatory Insta filter)<br />
The exhibition of Skull inspired works is in Box Studio in Shoreditch, London is still open until November 6th.<br />
<br />
My piece, <i>Life, Death and Prizes </i>is a 50 x 70cm giclée print (290gms Hahnemuhle textured) available at £150 (framed)<br />
<br />
Go down to see it and a bunch of other really nice skull themed work.<br />

In a slight deviation to my ongoing project "How Do You Feel About... Social Media?" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm asking about Independence instead. Living in London, it's hard to guage the opinions of people as it's not a predominant subject. However, having been back in Scotland recently, it is easy to see the graphic landscape shifting; more and more relevant material the closer it gets, from TV and radio to mugshots of people on Social Networks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So, i'm curious to find out. Get in touch with your thoughts and a photo and let me know!</div>

T-shirts and prints disappearing in exchange for notes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Could have been better, however, but a recurring comment was: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> "I love your work, but I think it will scare my children!"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">But I guess that's the price you pay when you focus your work on making a comment on society. It's dark, scary and cluttered out there kids. Looking at my illustrations will be the least of your worries! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Still, good fun all round and thanks again to MTV in Camden for hosting it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">If you'd like to view and/or purchase a print, here's my shop. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">wantsome.bigcartel.com</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05450633162716484875noreply@blogger.comLondon London51.545691 -0.075744tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-245069206193475037.post-58862550336681372932014-05-24T18:37:00.001+01:002014-05-24T18:37:16.201+01:00MTV illustration pop up shop.<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsT8UMMd3lY1L1zw7nwIQfdVf4ywPN-iXGUJeVGgrw0CQBxk41UcyCsvROBP9hS6u4qCSCvmWDVh8oYR9TSFiZsBrWTatoqudU8Mh2BfP_fgF-_Hl__NVA7CL_A4vmwS85iCaOC2gj7o0/s640/blogger-image--1958927345.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsT8UMMd3lY1L1zw7nwIQfdVf4ywPN-iXGUJeVGgrw0CQBxk41UcyCsvROBP9hS6u4qCSCvmWDVh8oYR9TSFiZsBrWTatoqudU8Mh2BfP_fgF-_Hl__NVA7CL_A4vmwS85iCaOC2gj7o0/s640/blogger-image--1958927345.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>MTV have asked me to produce a few illustrations and make them into prints for an event they're putting on in their Camden studios. It's been good as it's forced me to get out of the studio and to actually get some prints done for my exceedingly neglected "Shop" on my website. One of the prints available is Brand Spanking Zombies. You should buy it. Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05450633162716484875noreply@blogger.comLondon London51.520663 -0.086797
