Hammo is a freelance illustrator and mural painter based in Manchester
Above is my offering from this year’s Eurocultured festival in Manchester – Alexander and The Cat. It was another fun day, with some great work being produced and some actual sunshine! Below is a quick Posca-sponsored canvas that I painted the day before in Paperchase for the lead-up to the event.
Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve put anything up here. Most of the stuff I’ve been doing recently has been either too secret or too boring to share, so here are a few bits from my sketchbooks, including squid suffocation, superheroes, a couple of Ramones, Jeremy Earl from Woods and KITTENS.

Hey illustration fans. Biteproof issue 3 is now out. Here is all you need to know about it…
Biteproof issue 3 “AMERICAN LIES, AMERICAN PIES, AND AN INDIGENOUS DOSE OF AMERICAN HIGHS” is now here, A5 in size and printed lithographically in full colour, ready and waiting for your aesthetically advanced eyes.
The whole cover features a blissfully sombre and typically awesome typographic design by the marvel that is I-Lib. Beneath said cover lies 46 pages by 23 much loved artists from around the U.K and lands afar around the world. As per usual the majority of the elusive and exclusive contents are specifically created to represent the title however the artist sees fit.
These artists in order of appearance are Dee Dee Kid, Brave One, Gee Hale, Wen, Sepr, Dan Baldwin, Sinister Dog, Joey Dee, Luke Drozd, The 5683, Hammo, Joao Lauro Fonte, I-Lib, Netoplasma, Mr Zero, Candy Lo, Centina, Zach Cohen, Elfin, Jack Douglas, Two Ducks Disco, Herky, and Jenism.
Biteproof issue 3 is also giving you an electrifying A3, 3 colour risograph print by the unstoppable art machine that is Luke Drozd. Created to involve the word biteproof this print will make you think the acid free munken white paper it’s printed on has had the acid put back into it.
So exercise that mouse and visit www.biteproof.com to check out all the artists involved in this issue and prior issues. Or go HERE to buy yourself a copy.
Ooh, and here’s my contribution…

A couple of pics of the work I currently have up in Oddest Bar in Chorlton. (All sold, bar the watercolour on the bottom left – unless that’s gone too and I’ve not been told)
I was recently asked by Manchester based branding and web design agency Creative Spark to turn their (already Astro-Turfed) meeting room into a garden. After a couple of weeks and some late nights, it now looks like this.
