I was lucky enough to win a Society6 Grant for a Feature / Interview on the inspiring character blog, I Like Characters by Steve Rack. This is my first interview, and I do wonder how many people actually want to know about me. I hope it doesn’t bored you all to death, and I will try my best to produce more decent, fun, happy work. Thank you.
“…Etched with slick vector lines, his chaotic characters and cinematic scenery bring to us infectious imagery that is hard to resist. This month Liverpool (UK) based illustrator Stephen Chan gets grilled by ILikeCharacters.com. This is Stephen’s very first interview feature, and in it Stephen tells us about his creative journey so far, including his winning image for a Don’t Panic competition, his (now) not so top secret paper toy plans and his desire to grow more arms!…”

Update: Here are just a few pieces from the up coming Blood Sweat Vector Exhibition. There will be 30 to 40 more of these amazing vector artworks at the West Berlin Gallery, Germany, so you would be crazy to miss it.
“…The exhibition consists completely of BSV members and will contain 40+ artworks printed on either 40?ó40cm or 80?ó80cm canvas. We couldn’t include all BSV members in the show, but we did manage to fit in just over 24 artists. The show will be held on November 12th at West Berlin Gallery in Berlin (Brunnenstr. 56, 13359). And will run from November 12th ‚Äì December 12th. Bacardi is the show’s official sponsor. A few of the artists will be making an appearance opening night including BSV founders Brad Mahaffey and Jared Nickerson. We hope to see you there!…”

ammo magazine was released to the world recently, a pocket sized, illustration filled little mag, (it is more like a small book than a magazine really) but packing a pretty strong punch. With 4 in depth interviews and then a wide range of illustrations covering the rest of the pages. It gives a good balance of how the contemporary illustration scene is looking, and how it could look if one of the talented but relatively unknown guys break through.
“…We don’t care whether the artwork’s been created using the humble pencil, mighty fineliner, Mouse, felt tip pen, crayon, Wacom pen, paint brush, fingers or any other method – we want to see it…”
So, load up those creative guns with this inspirational ammo and buy it now! If your one of these rising stars of illustration, needing a platform for your work, then look no further, submit!
Oh, and while your browsing the lovely new ammo magazine, (that you’ve just bought) please have a little look at page 49. Cheers, yours gratefully ;) … Oh, and coincidently, the awesome Camelia Dobrin, (whose also in the magazine) has just been featured here on TC, and fast becoming one of our favourites (keep your eyes out for this illustrator).
The list of all artists featured: Andy Council, Colin Hood, Mr Penfold, Whyisbox, Aaron Miller, Al Murphy, Anke Weckmann, Camelia Dobrin, Christine Mann, Gemma Correll, Ill.Design, Jeffrey Bowman, Karo Knitter, Katari, Matt Pattinson, Messy Msxi, Mr Millerchip, Natalie Ratkovski, Rathinan Thaijareorn, Rod Hunt, Scott Pollard, Stephen Chan, Taylor White, Yuta Onoda

“…The dedicated folk at McFaul Studio slaved right to the wire to deliver a graphic novella packed with deadline demons, tax zombies and technological pitfalls, and quite frankly there’s no better way to introduce our freelance survival issue…”
Surviving as a freelancer is a complicated task indeed, well, for the majority of us anyway. They’re those that just graduate and become superstars straight away, and then there’s the one who slave away, building up the experience slowly; the veterans. This issue is a collection of all that design industry advice, all that experience, all pack in to this beautiful looking magazine.
This is Computer Arts Projects Issue 128 | “The Freelance Survival Guide” !! This issue can not be faulted at all, from the mindblowing gatefold cover by McFaul, (one of the greatest UK design studios) to the detailed content that explores the world of freelancing.
I would like to take this chance to show my gratitude towards Computer Arts Projects for letting a novice illustrator like myself to be involved in such a great issue, maybe ‘the greatest’ issue of Computer Arts Projects.

Part Two: Continuing from today’s TC Hijack Part One is the launch of my super strange RIPT apparel T-shirt named “Viking Shark Robot Moustache”. About this Shirt::
“The idea behind this crazy shirt, is the same idea as the conception of the RIPT site. The idea that, something you put up fresh and new one day will be covered, lost, gone and made old by newer creations the next day. The graphics on the shirt is made up of flyers and stickers covering each other up, but in the end its created something more interesting, like how old artists will influence new artists in the future…”
The T-shirt is only available for 24 hours, so please support and Buy Here!!!! (available in a few hours time). I do greatly appreciate the support and hope you like the design, and please do send us photos of yourselves wearing it (that would be the perfect birthday gift for me).
