The owners at Track Bike Shop Copenhagen asked me to do their T-shirt for the 17th World Cycle Messenger Championships in Tokyo this year. They found a printer who would do ‘as many colours as I wanted to use’ so I specced it with 4 colours on the front including a really glittery metallic – and a two colour back print as well… It looks great and it’s a totally limited edition. You had to be in the team to get one… I’m going to do their lycra jersey next… I’ve never done a lycra jersey before so it’s pretty exciting. The template is like a diagram of the human mind it’s so complicated. That’s my friend Angus in the photo – he’s won something. Printed on a carbon neutral T-shirt from Neutral.com

This came out a few months ago but I was asleep under a chair for July and August so forgot to tell you that I designed the big zeppelin bomb inflatable thing in this video. I didn’t make it – somebody else did that, but I drew it, on a piece of paper. Clear?

Balls to the wall! A nice film made for Hummel – the Danish ball-sports brand. There I am painting a wall with my glamorous assistant.

I painted this amazing wall last week in Copenhagen. It’s for the CPH Moves Festival. You use it to play a game called ‘Wall’ – where you have to kick the ball at the wall… it’s for sports people so it has to be simple. CPH Moves is a festival of street sports like Football, Handball and Street American Touch Football. There was even a tournament for young women’s Football where everyone played in fancy dress. Pretty strange – but these are foreigners you must remember.

This summer they take their Climate Road Show on a UK tour to help people understand the implications of climate change. A group of artists have been picked to illustrate various scenarios related to the changing of the environment. Jody Barton’s work illustrates a mass exodus of humans due to a change in habitat.

We have just rediscovered a short film made by Jody Barton that offers a rare and personal glimpse into the delinquent mind of this maverick graphic powerhouse. Watch and learn – but don’t necessarily try this at home…
