H ello all,

Exciting things are afoot as ever with various prints, trips and whatnots on the horizon, but for now the exciting news on everyone’s pouting, collagen enhanced lips is that Biteproof magazine Issue 3 - "American Lies, American Pies, and an indigenous dose of American Highs" is now available to buy from their website.

As with the previous two incarnations i was asked to put idea to brain, brain to hand, hand to pen and pen to paper to create a brnad new and exclusive piece of work for the magazine alongside a host of the UK's finest doodlers. 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.

As if that weren't enough Biteproof issue 3 also comes with an exclusive A3, 3 colour risograph print designed by me. So as not to sound like i'm blowing my own trumpet here's what Biteproof said about it:

"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." But dont just take their word for it, have a squizz:

So there you go. Now I suggest you go buy one before they are all gone:

This will probably be the last new print for sale this year but have a few more likely to be up in January.

And if you are wanting prints for xmas gifts, get them orders in asap. I think my last post office trip will be Friday 17th December.
