James and Etsy are there again today until 9pm, entry is free.

I currently have a display of drawings in the downstairs lounge at FLATPLANET®, 39 Great Marlborough Street, London W1F 7JG.

Each drawing is a depiction of real life characters I observed in the surrounding streets of Soho and all are available for purchase.

I also designed the flyer for Lewis Barfoot’s poetry and performance event which takes place every first Thursday of the month - more details here.

Spread detail: one of sixteen!

‘How People Lived’, the new children’s title from publishers Dorling Kindersley illustrated by our very own Zack McLaughlin, is now available in the shops and online.

According to the DK website:

An entertaining and eye-opening journey through the history of humans.

How People Lived provides a colourful snapshot of life over different eras around the world, from prehistory to the present and beyond. Amazing drawings and illustrations provide a wealth of facts and information on clothes and customs, working life and much more - bringing the scenes vividly to life.

Beautiful and action-packed scenes will capture the imagination of young readers who will enjoy getting an in-depth look at people and life through the ages while timelines, maps and charts provide back-up information and context to each era.

An opportunity to view a selection of the page spreads in detail is here on the website page: http://bit.ly/kuC1Nm

We’ve been lucky enough to have our hands on a preview copy here at the studio and trust us, it’s a fantastic book! Just what we would have loved to own when we were sprogs.

All of the spreads can also be seen on Zack’s blog: http://zackmclaughlin.blogspot.com
