Social networking

As well as being able to catch me on Facebook, you can now find me on Twitter! Bearing in mind that im pretty useless at keeping things like this updated and use these social networks more for seeing what everyone else is up to.. so dont expect constant tweets. But if you feel the need to follow along, by all means do. @tombagshaw

Interview

The nice chaps Richard and Chippy of the Coats and Scarry art blog recently asked me to do an interview with them. Have a look at the article here: Tom Bagshaw on Yokai Dreams at Coates and Scarry

Print giveaway

In between everything else ive been trying to work in getting the mostlywanted shop redone, its taken a little while but i have finally finished it. (i have to say i reeaallly hate hand coding, the constant expletives centered around 'wtf is it doing that for?!!' tend to be a little wearing.)

I will be letting the site go live on the 1st September and to celebrate im going to be giving away 3 prints! Im giving away one limited edition O-dokuro, edition of 25, 16x16", 310gsm cotton rag. One of Fledgling and Preen, both open editions on 260gsm cotton rag, 13x18".

If you would like to be in with a chance to win: sign up here!

One week after the shop has opened (thats weds 8th btw) 3 names will be chosen at random and announced here later in the day. Sound good? Help spread the word by linking this post up via twitter, facebook, blogger or any other social network you frequent!

Computer Arts tutorial

Ive just finished an illustration and tutorial walk-though for the nice chaps at Computer Arts magazine. Issue 180 has a sexy theme and i was asked to produce something as a full page illustration together with a step by step breakdown of the process. Im pretty happy with the end result but as the issue isnt out yet i will just give you a little preview and give you a better view of the article when it hits the shelves.

Telegraph Fashion II

The very nice chaps at the Daily Telegraph kindly asked me to do some more work for the fashion supplement, which- after the success of the first one- i was more than happy to do! Each piece relates to a letter and its article in the magazine. 'A' was for Amelia (pertaining to Amelia Earhart) and focused on a Burberry flight jacket. The others were Knit, Red and Wild. Again, im not sure on the release date for the magazine so hopefully im not jumping the gun too much in sharing the work! Heres some detail shots from the four pieces, the full images can be found on mostlywanted or my Behance folio.

Also, a quick mention that ive given mostlywanted a little update by re-introducing some of my older works, this is primarily for commissioning purposes and will allow me to add and remove works as i go on.
