Aschenputtel
Posted by Owen / 20 January 2010

Finally, after many weeks of toiling, Thomas Forsyth and I are excited to present the first photos of our collaboration Aschenputtel. A full selection of these can be seen on my blog. This piece will be exhibited through Designersblock as part of Interiors 2010 at the Birmingham NEC from 24th - 27th January. If you're planning on heading to the exhibition make sure to come over and say hello. For more about this piece see our article on Designersblock. A big thankyou to Emmaus for supplying us with the items for this exhibition, and to Jonathan Green for taking these wonderful photos.

Designersblock: Interiors 2010
Posted by Owen / 8 December 2009

Over the past week I have been busy working with 3D designer and artist Thomas Forsyth on our piece for this year's Interiors 2010 exhibition. Tom was selected by Designersblock to take part in the exhibition, and due to the success of our past collaborations thought it only fitting that we teamed together. For the project we'll be working with Emmaus in Brighton; a fantastic organisation that offers work and community for people who have become socially excluded or homeless.

Interiors 2010 will run from 24th - 27th January at the Birmingham NEC. Keep your eyes peeled for further updates as the project develops.

I'm very excited to say that I've finally made good on a year of promising myself that I'd get an expanded portfolio together. You can see it at www.jezburrows.com.

Seas of Infinity
Posted by Owen / 10 September 2009

I was asked a few months ago to be part of an Artist Series for Engrave Your Book, a company specialising in engraved leather Moleskine covers. My design is inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, using a quote taken from his story The Call of Cthulhu. After many sleepless nights trying to get my head around creating this geometric pattern, I'm very pleased to announce that the cover is now available from the Engrave Your Book shop!

The Decked Project
Posted by Owen / 26 August 2009

This Thursday (27th August) sees the private view for The Decked Project at the Stolen Space Gallery off Brick Lane, London. The exhibition is due to house over 50 artists who were all asked to hand customise a skate deck. My good friend Thomas Forsyth and I decided to team up for the exhibition. I began the collaboration by creating a super complex geometric pattern, which Tom then hand-carved into the decks. I saw the final boards a few days ago, before we dropped them off for the exhibition, and I have to say that Tom has done a fantastic job on these. Very beautiful indeed.

The private view night will be super fun, so make sure to come along for some free drink and live painting by Dan Kitchener & Snub. Thursday 27th August, 7pm onwards.

The Decked Exhibition will be running at the Stolen Space Gallery from 25th - 30th August, so if you can't make the private view be sure to pop along during the week.

The Guardian
Posted by Owen / 7 August 2009

Here's a small section of an illustration I've recently completed for the Guardian. It was created to advertise 'The Fresher', a student guide they're releasing to coincide with the release of A-Level results. A big thanks to Anna for being such a legend. The advert will be printed in the Guardian every day from the 14th - 18th August, so if you stumble across a copy make sure to check it out it.

We Are The Friction
Posted by Jez / 21 July 2009

This Thursday is the launch of the second book published by the small press I run together with Lizzy Stewart, Sing Statistics. We Are The Friction is a book of illustration and short fiction by 12 pairs of illustrators and writers including Ray Fenwick, Spencer Krug, Ryan Boudinot, Pietari Posti and many more.

We're having a launch party on Thursday night at Edinburgh's Analogue Books from 7pm onwards, and an exhibition of all the work will run in Analogue's lovely gallery space all the way through August, so if you're visiting for the Fringe be sure to come by! You can follow us on Twitter for occasional updates, or see some shots of the book's production (and of the launch night) at Flickr.

There's still a day or so to place a pre-order on our site (which come with a limited Gocco print), after which they'll go on general sale. This became quite an epic undertaking very quickly but we're both super excited with the outcome and can't wait to send it out to people! More images to come...
