More Quo Vadis
Here are some more pictures done for Soho's Quo Vadis restaurant. The menus were designed by Julian Roberts of Irving and Co.
And this is an extract from a review by Nick Lander of the FT;
“But it is in the restaurant, replete with tablecloths and napkins but devoid of a cover charge, where the fun really begins as soon as the new menu arrives, already a frontrunner in the annual competition I would like to initiate for ‘Menu Design of the Year’.
It is an A4 card, printed daily, with that day’s weather forecast in the top-right-hand corner. Around the central main menu for the day are 10 boxes that contain certain groupings of dishes: ‘bites’, including a smooth bloater paste, similar in texture to a kipper pate; two types of oysters; three cuts of beef and a rack of lamb from the grill; and a pie of the day, a rich, hare pie topped with puff pastry.
The central section comprises that day’s five starters and four main courses which appear under a couple of wistful black-and-white illustrations by John Broadley. Those on the main menu include a black-and-white stove and a rather glum cat on a chair. Those on the separate dessert card are more louche: playing cards, a guitar, and a stylish young man with a cigarette between his lips.”
Nick Lander’s Review of Quo Vadis was first published in the Financial Times on the 4th February 2012 – here’s the link to the unabridged version.

My latest book of comic strips. I have made an edition of 41 copies and I have around 20 left to sell.

It is around A5 size, 30 pages long. If you already have one of my hand made books you'll know what to expect - black and white photocopied pages, stapled and bound into a hard-backed cover.
The Song the Pine Trees Knew (parts one and two)
I've got about 24 of these strip pages now so I'm getting to putting them together into a small book
