I had a great time on Saturday at the Just in Time art show at The Sho gallery in Cardiff. The project, organised by Flatties, was a collection of artwork inspired by the legendary Back to the Future films, and included paintings, custom toys, 3D pieces and prints. It was great to have a piece in a show alongside fantastic

This weekend I’ll be having a piece in Flatties’ Just in Time gallery show! It’s a collection of artwork inspired by Back to the Future, from different artists in any media they like, including custom toys, paintings and prints. All the art will be for sale in an auction, with profits going to UK charity Together for Short Lives. The

A big thank you to everyone who came to see us this weekend at MCM Expo! It was an exhausting but fun weekend. We had three new things: 1) A new stand for t-shirts for behind the table to show them off 2) A new t-shirt design 3) Another new t-shirt design – that glows in the dark! The most

I painted a custom bass drum skin, inspired by the ska robot in MC Lars’ and the Aquabats’ fantastic song “This Gigantic Robot Kills”. This weekend it was great to see it on stage with local ska band Wasted Seth, UB42 and the All Skas, featuring two original members of UB40 and the drummer from the Selecter. It was a

I’ve recently been lucky enough to acquire an Inkling, a magical new pen made by Wacom. It’s like a graphics tablet, but without the tablet. (What witchcraft is this?!). You clip the receiver to any piece of paper and use the pen to draw. When you’re ready you connect the receiver to your computer and download your sketches as bitmaps

My next stall will be MCM Expo London at the end of May. If you’ve never been, MCM is a huge convention for fans of anime, manga, games and comics – with a big focus on anime and manga, and LOTS of cosplayers. Over the three days there are around 60,000 attendees! I’ll be having a stall in the general

Triangle Club (rockin’the hypotenuse) is one of my most popular drawings – so many good things come in triangular form. I’ve updated Triangle Club for 2012 so now it’s exclusively food items. The set square and warning sign were only honorary members anyway, and now they’ve been kicked out to make way for Pizza Slice and Miss Victoria Sponge. (Can’t

Croissant T-Shirt Now in Mens Sizes “Pain au chocolat” croissant t-shirts are now available in guys’ sizes! This is one of our most popular designs, which always gets lots of comments at shows. We love seeing how it makes people smile. Until now it was available only in ladies’ slim fit sizes, but lots of men asked for one, so it’s

This is why I stick to veggie burgers. This scary burger had been living in my sketchbook for a while, until I drew him in ink and watercolour for a birthday card a while ago. Originally it was a hand drawing for a birthday card, with Happy Birthday in ketchup. And now he’s finished on the computer in vector form.

Thank you to everyone who came to see us at Hyper Japan, we had a fantastic weekend and hope you did too! I’d been to the first Hyper Japan in Brick Lane as a visitor, but this was my first time having a stall there. It’s one of my favourite events because it’s about all different aspects of Japanese culture,

Exciting news: The Cakes with Faces iPhone app is out today, just in time for Hyper Japan! It’s free to download from the app store and works on iPhones and iPod Touch. It’s called Cake Mix – make your own cute cake characters by choosing from hundreds of fun accessories, different flavours of icing, different coloured cases and more. We

So this weekend I finally did some drawing for fun again – it’s been a while as I’ve been so busy with the new t-shirt design and sorting out stuff for Hyper Japan (panic buying stickers, new t-shirt tags, trying to find non-extortionate parking in London – turns out that’s not possible). I’d been meaning to do some comic strips

All the Best Stuff is from Japan T-Shirt At last I can show you my new t-shirt design! It’s all about my favourite things from Japan – there are so many of them, and I fitted as many on the t-shirt as I could: sushi, vending machines, the bullet train, robots, bonsai, ninjas, ramen, origami, godzilla… It’s a full colour

Starting on Christmas Eve I’ll be adding one Christmassy cake per day. There’ll be 9 cakes in all, for some Christmassy cakey fun to take us through to the new year!  

I’ve left it a bit late to draw my own Christmas cards this year, and am attempting to get them done this weekend just in time for the last Christmas post. For UK people the last day to place Christmas orders is Monday – place your order before midnight on Monday night and you will get it in time for

This weekend on Saturday 3rd December I’ll be having a stall at the Railway Tavern in Nuneaton. There will be all kinds of stalls, so if you’re local, come along for some Christmas shopping! It’s 12-5pm, then 7pm till late, and it’s Christmas lights switch on night as well.

We had a fantastic time last weekend at MCM Expo at ExCel London – Cakes with Faces’ first con! It was an exhausting weekend, with a lot of late nights getting ready (never before have I found myself ironing t-shirts at 1am) and early mornings, but it was a lot of fun.

A new product range in partnership with Flatties! At last my drawings come to life in the real world

Exciting news! Cakes with Faces will be appearing at MCM Expo in London this October!
