Here's some work by my friend Bob Linney.
He's a drawer, screenprinter, illustrator, writer and traveller...
A man with a moral and educated approach to illustration and communication.
His book 'Pictures, People and Power' is the definitive guide to making images for development work, and his vibrant screenprint work for UB40, Jazz Warriors, Coin Street Projects and Celina Gonzalez defined a style that others have only emulated.
Buy his book here on Amazon
He's even willing to take commissions... click to send mail - boblinney@btinternet.com

There's been a spate of shootings in the Nørrebro area of Copenhagen recently. I wanted to remind politicians that people with grievances might use the ballot box instead of the bullet.
Do politicians only see us as an X in a box once every four years...?
Voting should be a precious right... treasure it.

Uncanny - but this looks like what first year Graphics students do at Camberwell College...
(I should know - I was one of them...)
It's a shoe attached to a photocopy. What will the tutor say in their crit?
They may fail this module. There's always Joint Honours.

For the new shared office space "Smoke & Mirrors" in Vesterbro, Copenhagen.
I cut all these pieces by hand with a pair of scissors and then put them in place with my trusty team of assistants. 
I did this album cover as a 'collabo' with the band Phoenix this year... now it's on the Apple website as the album cover on the new iPod nano.
When your stupid little universe revolves around graphic design and Apple's products this has to count as a relative 'big deal'.
Having said that, I don't know the girl rafting down a river in a green inflatable doughnut. So it's 1 hit, 1 miss.

Hello and Good Morning...
there's a book been published. It's all about zines. Those little meaningless art books full of collages of medical books and pithy un-original drawings displaying the self pity of the 'artist'. Well, now you can have them all in coffee table book form.

Yes, I call bullshit on all graffiti taggers.
Graffiti tag artists are babies - they keep regurgitating the first word they've learnt (and not 'Mummy' or 'Daddy') - it's their own name. They practice writing it on walls, bus stops, trains, fences, bridges etc, but at no point does the legibility improve.
So maybe you are angry and disenfranchised by a society that places fame, profit and possessions before people, so you idolise the rich and famous and want to emulate them? But not everyone can be famous, so you'll probably fail, and all your efforts will have been wasted. That's not to say that people who do 'urban art' don't get famous and successful, of course they do. But you have to do something more interesting - which is to speak for others rather than yourself.
OK, tip one. If you can't find anything better to write than your name as a 'rebellious act', then at least write your real name instead of a made-up one. That would show some class - a degree of bravery. And then when you've really got your strength up you can add your address and phone number.
And tip two... what the hell are you rebelling against in the first place? Is it walls? Damn those walls! Is it buses and trains, the classic oppressor of the common man? No - what graffiti artists are angry about is that their range of collectable toys, T-shirts, customised athletic shoes and artist's prints for the home aren't selling well enough, when what they should be doing is working at youth clubs, organising a better social politics, reading and finding a way to improve society.
So, to recap, as a graffiti tag artist you are a massive spoilt baby, who wants to constantly cry out into the world, but the problem is that the name you're crying is your own, so no-one is going to answer. And if you want to really annoy our common enemy - rich people, then try writing on their cars instead. Or do you secretly fantasise about getting a flashy car and therefore can't bring yourself to do that?

6th of July is official 'Nothing To Do With Skateboarding' Day.
It's a day when we assert our right to not be skateboarders despite being illustrators and graphic artists. We are proud of our diversity. We are friends with people who do skateboard - but we don't. Either we are too scared or maybe just not that bothered.
Be proud - if you've never really been a skateboarder.
Be proud - don't say things like "yeah, I used to really shred it but now my ankle is ruined..."
Be proud - you prefer non-cool sports like reading.
