In the Shadow

Here's a sneak peek at a linocut I'm working on for an upcoming exhibition. Really excited to see how the prints come out. I'm thinking about using watercolours to give it a bit of colour.

Snowboard test pressing.

The first test pressing of my snowboard has just been completed, can't wait to get hold of one, should have one by the end of the month.

Website Update,

I've just updated my website with lots of new work,
Including a snowboard design, new editorial pieces, record sleeves, gig posters, t-shirts and personal work.

Have a browse- www.jakeblanchard.co.uk

Here's a t-shirt design I did for Sutsu to wet your appetite.

La Planete Sauvage,

This is for a zine put together by illustration ace Mat Pringle. As a follow up to last years 'Music one' this time round it's the 'Film one'. My image is based on Rene Lalouxs classic, La Planete Sauvage.

Black Twig Pickers,

Here's an LP sleeve I recently designed for the Black Twig Pickers and Charlie Parr. The other side of the LP is by Glenn Jones and will be designed by somone else.
Due out in February I think on the always excellent Thrill Jockey. It sounds great, if you like a bit of Bluegrass then check it out.

Chop Shop, Poolga & Cam Deas.

A few new things on the go. First of all I have a t-shirt design available from Chop Shop. Two colours available, navy (pictured) and Black. Pick one up from here- chopshopstore.com/


Secondly here's a new tour poster for Cam Deas, I've been lucky enough to work with him on several occasions, and this tour will also see the release of the long awaited 'Quadtych' Volume one on LP and Volumes 1 & 2 on CD.

You can pick up copies on Quadtych from Cams label- http://www.presenttimeexercises.com/, but if you want a poster you'll have to go to a show!


And finally, here's an Ipad and Iphone background I designed for Poolga. There'll be two of my designs available there for free! They should be online within the next two weeks. Get them here- http://poolga.com/

Tyrant Board...

Pretty self explanatory really. A snowboard design for Tyrant. Goes into production in February, I'm really excited about getting hold of one of these!
