You can now collect exclusive limited editions of my character illustrations over on KnownOrigin.io – a unique online gallery that allows collectors to purchase rare digital assets that are permanently embedded into a blockchain.
The idea behind KnownOrigin.io is simple: “Can we use the power of the Blockchain to mint Digital Assets for artwork that evolves proof of ownership, provenance, and authenticity?”
Just a quick post to wish you a Happy New Year and all the best for 2018.
2017 was a fun year for creative projects – thank you to everyone who has been a part of it. I’m looking forward to more of the same in 2018.
I have commission slots open from February onwards so if you’d like to work together on something, do get in touch.
Colour Institute Pantone have announced Ultra Violet as the Colour of the Year for 2018.
The Pantone team has travelled the world, absorbing colours, surveying designers and studying consumer psychology. This year’s PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet represents the best of these colour trends and a forecast for 2018.
“From exploring new technologies and the greater galaxy, to artistic expression and spiritual reflection, intuitive Ultra Violet lights the way to what is yet to come.” says Pantone’s Executive Director, Leatrice Eiseman.
I’m a big fan of ScrawlrBox’s subscription art supply boxes, so it was an absolute honour to be featured as their Artist of the Month for April. We worked together to pack April’s box full of all my favourite pens and pencils, along with an exclusive print made from one of my drawings.
My little design business is celebrating its 10th Birthday this week!
It’s been an amazing journey so far and I’d like to thank everyone who has been a part of it – for all the commissions, collaborations, referrals, advice, and just generally being awesome and supportive over the years. I wouldn’t be in business without you!
Here’s to the next 10 years and beyond!
Just a quick post to wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best for the year ahead. Here’s to making 2017 an awesome one!
I’ve got a lot of plans in the works for this year – more creating, learning, and generally aiming to make this year bigger and better than the last! I’m also booking in new commissions for the coming months, so if you’d like to work with me get in touch.
I had a chat with the folks at Computer Arts Magazine about my experiences as a freelancer, the mistakes I’ve made, and what I’ve learnt along the way. You can find me in this month’s issue as part of Anne Wollenberg’s Power Up Your Freelancing article.
I’m winding down the studio this week and taking some time off to enjoy the holidays and work on some personal projects. I’ll be reopening for commissions and catching up on emails on the 4th January. Find me on Twitter and Instagram in the meantime.
Thank you to everyone who’s supported my work this year. You’re all awesome!
Wishing a Merry Holiday to those celebrating!
Doodle For Good is a funky coloring book for older kids and adults, featuring a collection of 24 line drawings by artists from across the globe, including one of my robot creatures! I’m real pleased to be a part of this project and feature alongside a whole load of talented artists.
… and they’re in! A brand new batch of limited edition vinyl stickers, ready to send out into the world. Pick up a pack over on my Big Cartel store @ stinajones.bigcartel.com while stocks last.
I love seeing where these stickers get stuck so tag me in your photos on Twitter and Instagram – I’ll share the best ones and there may be some freebies in it for you too!
I have a few packs set aside for swaps so if you’re an artist and would like to trade, drop me a message.

I won me a Bready Award from @YourDailyBread on Ello!
YDB features a different creative each day and gives out one of these little Bready Awards to the artist with the most reader votes at the end of each week.
The page curates an eclectic array of inspiring stuff and has become one of my favourite accounts to follow – so needless to say I’m chuffed to bits with this little 3D Printed Bready!
The nice folks at Cult Pens featured me as their Artist of the Month!
