New Website!
With the new year I felt it was high time for a website overhaul. So please do take a look and I hope you like it. Lots of fresh work and hopefully a more polished and user friendly design. This one automatically resizes for viewing on a tablet or smartphone, which is one massive advantage over it’s previous incarnation.
Also in the pipeline is a new shop which I’m currently in the motions of completing. I’ll be having a cosmic giveaway to coincide with it’s opening on my Facebook and Twitter pages in the coming weeks!
I’ve illustrated the cover story for this week’s New Scientist magazine! The article looks at the nervous system we have in our gut that has been dubbed the second brain and new studies showing it’s surprising influence. Was great to hear the piece made the cover of the german edition of the mag too, so anyone reading this in Germany feel free to send me a photo of it in situ! Thanks to Craig the AD for a brilliant job.
You can check out a photo of it in context over on my facebook page.
