this friday

for anyone in the vicinity of central st martins, i'll be giving a talk at 10.30 this friday morning (10th) at the cockhrane theatre in southampton row. i'll be the one mumbling into a mic down the front with a white light in my face.

g2

haven't been here in a while because of work overload. i started working on a weekly page written by Charlie Brooker in the Guardian G2, it comes out every monday, i forgot to get a copy of the last one, but here's this week's.



also, if you live in japan, some of my slightly older stuff is available on t-shirts though graniph, they turned up in the post a couple of days ago.

graphic 10

the 10th issue of graphic is coming out soon, and that's my face on the front of it. more news about this when i get a copy, it should be full of good stuff by loads of people, there will be a lot of previously unpublished things from me, scans from sketchbooks and notebooks, and some old photos too.

vagant

lots of images from the new issue of norwegian literary magazine vagant, which is out now.

analogue

i'm taking part in a show with container at the analogue gallery in edinburgh this weekend, the private view is tonight. unfortunately i don't have time to make it up there in time, but i will be in edinburgh from tomorrow (friday) until sunday, so photos and images coming in the next couple of days. i've never been to edinburgh, i'm looking forward to finally getting up there. i'm gutted to be missing the private view. feel free to email me with any suggestions, things we should see, places we should visit and secret drinking den locations if you know the place well.

filth

hectic one day deadlines, gotta love 'em.

beck

the new album "the information" by beck is out now, featuring work / stickers by most of us at big active. you can also read about it in this month's creative review.


also, turns out the 'resist' pieces i posted a while back made it just in time, you can see one of them in the current issue of w.a.d magazine.

i'm working on a lot of new editorial stuff right now, so more stuff to come in the next couple of days.

magpie

one from the sketchbook, work in progress.

quiet

no news for a week or so, spent the whole of last week doing nothing at all. starting work on a couple of new projects now, so more updates in the next few days.

death before distemper

a couple of photos from the dc recordings party at phonica last night. met the legendary j saul kane for the first time.. sleeves by the super talented la boca, whose work was on show for the first time ever apparently.

french

2 pics for a french magazine, these might have missed the deadline.

one more

just finished another editorial piece, don't watch the handbag..

photos

some random photos from my phone.

more editorial

here's a new one, gonna be in arena magazine around sept/oct i think. this one took me forever, larger version will be up on my site at next update.

t-shirts / posters

i'm getting a lot of requests for t-shirts and posters, so a quick note about this - t-shirts will be available from my site soon, i am working on this now, and some very limited edition posters and prints will be available from a new site, which big active will be launching really soon. i will do a mailout about both of these things when they're ready to go, so email me if you want to know more.

small thing

just a miniscule part of something im working on. this is the only part i like so far.

blag

took part in a small q&a thing with sally and sarah from blag magazine, look out for it in the next issue.
(apologies for the shit photo, all the others are blurry)

giant robot lives again

back in his element, making public appearences and generally being looked after by gundammad .

interview

claudio parentela interviewed me, click on pic below if you wanna read it. the site also features an interview with the super talented farmerbob, check the archives.

friday night..

..and i'm sitting at home working.

forgot

forgot to put this up on my site, done for greenpeace a while back. not one of my favourites anyway.

book

this turned up recently, published by AroundEurope, has some of my stuff in it.

giant robot nightmare

sold my giant robot a little while ago, was quite sad to see it go, and then was gutted to hear that the shit courier company smashed it to pieces by accident, it really was broken beyond repair.
or so i thought. the people who bought it just emailed me to say they've fixed him, it's a miracle. he's never looked better.

more new work

some other new stuff i've been up to - look out for the next issue of arena magazine, i have a few illustrations in there, the best one is probably the pug with a boner, good subject matter..

also a piece in the telegraph magazine (i think) about budapest 1956, coming out 13.08.06, had to get it done last night because of 2 other deadlines next monday, hectic hectic hectic..

i'm late getting stuff in for an exhibition in antwerp, and i'm also late getting stuff over to rome for a solo show in spetember, more about that here nearer to the time.

new work

work has been fuckin hectic recently.
just finished a big campaign for wk/nike, should be all over london soon. for those who know the stuff i did for span, this is basically a huge but less angry version of that. the teaser is now on the imax, and all over buses and tube stations across london, look out for it. these photos are by lucy at wk, hope she doesnt mind me posting them up here.

back again..

a bit of info about this blog for those who haven't seen it before - this was my diary while i was driving around europe last year, if you wanna see all the pictures and read whatever was going thru my head at the time, it's all here, have a look. from now on i'm gonna start using this blog as a news page, because i am generally too busy to update my site and because of that, the old news page on there wasn't updated for something like 3 years, which is beyond a joke. if you've come here from myspace, you can check my portfolio at http://www.davidfoldvari.co.uk and at http://www.bigactive.com.

they're not here either:

ah there's someone! no wait, it's just a stuffed owl.

the luxemburg art scene is vibrant:

seriously where is everyone? i don't know. i give up and order a schnitzel.

i met an irish guy at the hostel who's been here a while, so we're gonna go find some bars later, hopefully things will pick up a bit.
