Café Street & Other Stories

Café Street

JUST RELEASED for Christmas 2020!

A man decides he’s not in a simulation, a vegan planet goes wrong, a transition that never was, a mysterious street café, a plague party, a bad-news addict, and a grandfather’s paradoxical book. A wry look back on 2020 mixed with science fiction, time travel, alienation, and death. Take a seat in Café Street. But don’t ask for the bill. Released a few hours ago. Visit Café Street for half an hour (it's a short book) for the price of a coffee.

Very good (and not just because some of my graphics appear...). A big thanks to Ed (nice office setup BTW).


Vegan Revelation: The Four Mad Cowboys of the Apocalypse. Subverting fairy-tale and biblical imagery, this illustration of four mad cowboys astride flying cows shows the follies of delusion (false belief, lunacy, head in the clouds), gluttony (eating a beef burger), false science, and avarice (greed with money spilling out). This drawing was done years ago to show the behaviour that caused the outbreak of BSE (Mad Cow Disease). It applies just as much today with meat-eating risking the health of the planet. Not to mention the suffering. Check what it says in Revelations…

Available as prints and merchandise!


 A vegan brain is a happy brain. Eating animals is wrong, and at some level, everyone knows that. This causes inner conflict (cognitive dissonance). Going vegan removes that conflict and makes you happier. At least, it did for me. Design available on prints, mugs, t-shirts etc.

Cicada Invasion


Cicadas in a eucalypt in Deakin, ACT. Their screeching filled the air on our walk with Ollie this evening. Never so loud, never so many...


 

Dancing COVID

Coronavirus particles pirouetting on a black background. The virion (virus particle of SARS-Cov-2) has characteristic faceting and a corona of spikes. The spikes (shown in reddish-orange) are trimers (three identical proteins wound together) that allow the virus to attach to a cell surface. Once it enters the cell, its RNA is released and directs the production of new virus particles. This novel coronavirus is the cause of pandemic COVID-19. Licence it here.

VIRUS DANCE: The Good, The Bad, & The Beautiful

Virus particles rotating on a black background. Rabies, Phages, Coronavirus, Adenovirus, and Influenza virus particles pirouette. Some, like rabies, flu, and coronavirus can be deadly, others, like bacteriophages and adenoviruses, can help us fight disease. But they all have a certain crystalline beauty. You can licence it here. Inspired by my VIRAL OCEAN design, this animation would make a great visual for exhibitions or the foyers of biotech companies.
