The Swank

Ashley recently illustrated for The Swank Autumn/Winter campaign. For those of you who are interested in the work produced, this series of artwork will be featured on buses and trams in China and Hong Kong and will be also reproduced in an extensive advertising campaign that will appear in such magazines as Elle, Cosmopolitan and Harper's Baazar.

The Swank stores will also be carrying the campaign in-store naturally, along with a seriously limited line of the female figures who appear in the campaign "Swank Girls" (and Guys!) and "Autumn apples". These figures will be carried from August through to December.

EDIT: For people who are now inquiring, Ashley's own 3A is producing the figures.

WO7174

A change is coming to WO7174, this will the 0day site where all our ventures will start. From books to film and video games, we re gearing up to share the war!

7174 has been around for a long time now, but it's always been a campsite in the background, never on the front lines! Well that's changing...

The teaming up alone with IDW will bring on a slew of publications including, 7174 magazine, SWALLOWv2, WWR comic and much more, swing bt the IDW booth at SDCC and ask me all about it !
 

Anyhow, just thought I would share some of my excitement, much more info and stuff to come, you can read all about it right here !

June Update

It's June already! 

Thank you to everyone who came along to see the Paris art show. Paris was amazing, people came from all over the Europe to see it and it was also a great opportunity for us to meet some people that we've communicated with over the years but never actually met in person until now, along with a whole raft of new and interesting people too. Ash met so many amazing European artists this time around, some already much admired, and some entirely new which is always exciting.

The Gallerie Daniel Maghen put on an amazing spread and were wonderful hosts, so thank you to the whole crew! The welcoming night dinner and celebration went on until the early hours of the morning. We will be back. And especial thanks to Olivier, Laurent and family for making this trip to France a  memorable one for the whole family..

I have a new art related date to add to our schedule for anyone who regularly visits East Coast U.S.A. Ashley is exhibiting a number of paintings at this year's Miami Beach Basal. Miami being one of those places that everyone should just visit once to say they've been. Any interested parties should contact the Jonathan LeVine Gallery NYC in advance. The actual paintings will no doubt pop up on Ash's blog before then.

I am knee deep in writing Beautiful War, again previews coming soon...

Paris Show is Open Today

The exhibition at the Gallerie Daniel Maghen is officially open today. Photos coming soon.

May Update

We have been super busy as per usual and so I thought I'd slip a quick May update in. First Happy Birthday Ashley! May is always a cool month because that's when I get to make a huge chocolate birthday cake and we all try to take at least one day off and chill out and this year is extra special because we're celebrating with baguettes, wine and cheese...

There are several events coming up to mention, I'll announce specific details as they come to hand in coming weeks. First up - The Paris show starts next week, so now's the time to plan if you want to make it. We will be blogging the Paris show right here. Photos will show up depending on internet access.

Future events (including events still to be confirmed).

Summer Wonderfest, Japan

Supanova, Perth Western Australia

San Diego Comicon, USA

Guangzhou Toy Fair, China 

And for all the fine art lovers, Ashley is also scheduled to re-exhibit at Jonathan Le Vine NYC in 2014

I'd like to say a quick thank you to everyone who came to see the 3A show in Taiwan, the event was a huge success and everyone really enjoyed themselves.

Stay tuned for Paris updates - I can't promise you that there won't be food involved, best to eat something before viewing the blog!
