So here's the thing, I used to work at what can only be described as 'probably definitely two of the best record shops in all of the world' Flashback Records in London and in order to celebrate International Independent Record Store Day on the Saturday 20th April they asked me to design a badge that they could give out on the day. So I did and this is it ....
And the best part of it is they're FREE! No doubt they'll be quite a buzz down there on the day, loads of amazing RSD stuff on sale and DJs and bands playing and generally a bit of an all day wahoo celebration of flat spinny musical things.
There's two stores in London ....
....one here in lovely, sleepy, mad drunk filled, Crouch End.... 144 Crouch Hill, Crouch End, London, N8 9DX
| ...and 'The Mother Ship' on good old fashioned, wahay the lads, Essex Road.... 50 Essex Road, Islington, London, N1 8LR |
....and they'll be loads of other stuff going on in the other grand independent record shops of London and indeed the world.
p.s. Credit to the very good Ossie Hirst for the badge wording, he'll be there at Essex Road so you can congratulate him in person.
Che, que estas haciendo ahora? Are you living in Buenos Aires? Are you visiting any time soon? You are? Really?! De verdad? Oh ... Well good then, perfecto, because you can pop by this lovely little shop and look at these little notebooks kindly put together for me (and the missus) by the extremely talented Leandro Jacob and being sold EXCLUSIVELY at the very excellent Salmón Tienda: Cabello 3629. Maybe you might even want to buy one.
Up to you.
Not all mine I should point out, just the three in the middle and the one at the back but the other stuffs nice too isn't it look ('Tao' and the one behind 'Sueño' also Leandro's work actually). While we're at they're also the sole stockist (in the whole of our planet world) of whats left of our bags and cards so there's that too. Exclusive indeed. Cheers. Gracias (grassy ass).
I've been working on a series of images of volcanoes. Here's some of them.
| As you can see I thought I'd have a crack at working in colour for a change and still sticking with the good old Lazlo Biro these are all done using the green, blue, red and black varieties. I'd like to say they were done with one of them all-in-one multi-changer type ones, but that would be a lie. As you can see they're kind of 'small' but you can click on those bottom three for a closer look. This one on the other hand is small even like that so you here's a little detail thumbnail which you can click on and make go big. You get the idea. | |
Thought it might be nice to share a few pages from my sketchbooks. Here's the first one: Ideas that either did or may still end up as larger pieces. That's it really. Hope you're doing ok.
Lots of love Tom The Pen
What's Giclée?!
Well, it's sort of French for 'nozzle' for a start and for seconds it's a very nice way of printing things and my good friends at Lazy Gramophone have very kindly added a set of my illustrations to there catalogue of available A6 Art Cards.
You can see for youself HERE or you can click the image on right.

..... and while we're at it you can also pick up an A4 Giclée print of 'Jetty' exclusively with a 4 other works from Lazy Gramophone artists HERE. _Anyway, there you go, why not get yourself a few Nozzle prints for Crimbo.
