Dan Hillier with KTandPaul: A New Concept in Clothing, a new more attractive you.
June 1st, 2009My friend Paul from the Sunday Upmarket and I have realised lately that we’ve been feeling hotter than usual and, as a result, have felt our clothing to be too heavy and cumbersome. After some high-level consultation, some serious research and a lot of meetings we’ve come up with a new concept in light and easy leisure wear. We’ve decided to call it the “T-shirt” and have collaborated on a design to celebrate our invention.
My ‘Cyclops’ image sits neatly atop a tartan pattern designed by KTandPaul and is now available in Limited Edition white or grey, hand screened by Paul in four colours onto super high-quality Continental 100% cotton Ts and they look brilliant.
Available in small (Length 68cm armpit to armpit 51cm), medium (Length 71cm armpit to armpit 53cm) and large (Large Length 73cm armpit to armpit 56cm ).
Newly photographed ink drawings.
June 1st, 2009Mr Conor Masterson has expertly captured some new and old ink drawings with his photographic camera and I now have them for sale from my website. He’s done a fine job indeed and the prints are extremely close to the originals in quality. The new big blue Buddha is a very big ink drawing that’s taken me around 6 months to scratch out, and I’m currently looking for somewhere to show it off. All are available, as with most of my work, as limited edition prints. Simply click here to be directed to The Dan Hillier UltraMall and Consumer Relations Customer Care Headquarters (Internet Division).
Cycloptic beginnings of a new breed…
April 14th, 2009Greetings, interweb pilgrims, I’m busy knocking up plans for new work in the form of golden screenprints at the moment and will be putting word out when I’ve finished the series I’m working on when they’re done. Until then I’ll hopefully be popping out more news than I have been the last 2 months from time to time but who knows? Please, observe here a first draft of one of the new pictures what has come out my hands.
New pictures are inching toward the light…

On/Off 2009
January 14th, 2009
Those of you with an eye for fashion may be interested to learn that my work will be theming the On/Off event at London Fashion Week in February. My images will be blown up all massive like, adorning the inside of the Science Museum for 3 days and probably popping up in various style magazines of note and repute thereafter. Here’s the lowdown.
India Delights, 2009 Beckons…
January 12th, 2009Happy New Year, Esteemed Reader of Blogs. Not much news to report for those of you hungry for my informations other than that I had a spanking fine trip to India over Christmas for a few weeks thank you. Below you can observe some snippets of what I got up to should you wish. The crazy looking fellows in yellow and red are Thaayems, performers who dance, chant and fling themselves around through the night throughout January and February in north Kerala, channelling deities and dispensing the received information to locals keen to speak with the gods. They grow in might and stature throughout the night, often culminating in sporting 20ft high headresses, throwing themselves onto fires repeatedly and being the recipients of blood sacrifices. Lots of drumming, lots of fire, lots of possession and ritual, some of the most exciting and bizarre evenings I’ve seen in that fair land. I’ve arrived home refreshed and ready to embark on furious bouts of work on a variety of exciting projects, to be announced here as and when they emerge into the world…
Cephalopodic Moleskine Thrillfest
November 27th, 2008Ah, yes, I meant to put these little pocket delights up on my page when first setting it up, and now shall perform that forgotten task.
Three of my designs - Mother, Father and Child - now adorn the excellent Moleskine pads, laser etched by the fine fellows at Modofly. You can buy them here.
The images are actually etched into the ’skin’ of the cover and make for plenty nice fingertip caresses as well as making handy receptacles for your daily records of discovery and list-making. Witness:
