I could show you, but...

It's been a busy summer, and I've been working for various direct clients and agencies, even managing to squeeze an ear-infection-induced fortnight off just as I was about to take my first real break of the year. But hey, I love to be busy, and I love having a wide range of projects on the go to keep the energy flowing, so I ain't complaining. Well, I shouldn't be, anyway!

The point is, that amongst all the work that I'll be able to show you soon, there's another project I've been involved with that I probably won't be able to show you anytime in the near future. If you've seen my recent No Heroics posts, you'll know that for that project I was contacted first by Dick Lunn, who amongst many other things, was art director on Hot Fuzz. Dick got in touch again last month to see if I've be interested in producing another illustration for him, this time for Working Title. Specifically, it was for a test shoot for the movie Paul, which you may know is Simon Pegg's and Nick Frost's next shared project. It's also going to be directed by Greg 'Superbad' Mottola, and according to IMDB, it's "about a pair of geeky British friends who travel to a comic-book convention on the West Coast".

Naturally I was thrilled to be asked, and it got me thinking once more about the good times that Spaced brought me and many of my friends almost ten years ago now. As I say, I can't show you what I did, or tell you anything about it (at least until the movie is released), but I can say that it was a blast. At the moment I have no idea if it will appear in the actual movie, but it was certainly used in the test shoot, and that's quite exciting enough for me right now thank you very much.
