Whole Nine Yards - Website

Following on from earlier posts, my illustration work is now live on the Whole Nine Yards website.

Whole Nine Yards Productions are a newly launched, multi-disciplinary production company specialising in live events. I was commissioned by Ben Price of WNY to work on illustrations for the home page and numerous page headers for their new website.

The website has been designed by Matt Clarke from Design Intellect.

A fun job to work on and I'm looking forward to doing more with Whole Nine Yards in the future.

Let It Snow

A xmas card design I did a little while back, thought ok to post now it's december!

More Whole Nine Yards

Having recently done an illustration for the front page of their new website (scroll down to see earlier post), Ben Price of Whole Nine Yards Productions commissioned me to do a further set of illustrations for use as headers on the website. I'm still working on them, but this is my favourite so far......

Sid the Spider - spreads

A couple of sample spreads for a book project i was asked to work on.

Sid is a spider who doesn't like eating insects and eventually works out he's a vegetarian - he'd rather have a fly for a friend than as food!

The story has been written by Clare Millward and Boomerang PR are on the case trying to get it published...

Initial image for a book project i'm just starting on about a vegetarian spider who would rather befriend flies than eat them!!

Baby's First Calendar

Baby room thermometer, Calendar and Special keepsake all in one...

I have just completed the design and illustration work on this project, which is set to launch at The Baby Show, at Earls Court, 16-18 October.

Baby's First Calendar is an A1 size wall calendar for a baby's nursery, to record special moments of their first year. It comes with fun date and milestone stickers so that the calendar can be started at any time and incorporates a room thermometer as a key safety feature.

From my initial logo design which used the concept of an 'all-seeing owl', I developed a fun set of woodland characters to be featured on the calendar, stickers, packaging and website.

Baby's First Calendar is the brainchild of Danny Maddocks, who has set up a new company to produce and market the product.

Creative Boom!

My banner design for Creative Boom is now live and online - for one week only!

check it out at www.creativeboom.co.uk. You'll see I'm featured in the Look Book too...

Whole Nine Yards

This is an illustration I have just completed for Whole Nine Yards Productions - an event management company specialising in the delivery of major public events. The company's client base includes local authorities, organising committees and various festivals.

The challenge for me was to strike the right balance - city event, festival vibe and big stadium opening ceremony all rolled in to one!

The illustration will serve as the home page for the new company website.

K2 Brand Guide

Just finished a couple of tweaks on some Brand Guidelines I did a couple of months ago.

BDH had me back on board to do the Guidelines for K2, an Italian cable channel whose brand/identity they have recently created. With an emphasis on action, adventure and mischievous fun, K2 is set to take kids to fantastic worlds where anything is possible. Pokemon and Power Rangers (amongst others) rule... !!!

Below are a couple of spreads from the Brand Guide.

Quantify your love...........

This is one of a number of illustrations I've done for a Bristol-based writer who's working on a book of his short stories/poems etc.

This one is for something that involved being phoned up by a market research company and questioned about how much you love your wife in relation to say.... broccoli (!)

Woodland Creatures

Been having great fun doing this little set of characters... Can't say too much about what they're for, but watch this space!

Hand Job

A set of 6 hand illustrations based on old-style woodcuts. Commissioned by Gravity Creative to be used in some visuals they're doing.

Bristol Neighbours

This is an illustration I have recently completed, commissioned by Blended Creative for a website they are creating for the University of Bristol. The website is intended to encourage students to live nicely and be more considerate to their neighbours.

The street illustration basically acts as a portal which will animate and link through to pages on, for example, rubbish & recycling, crime prevention, transport and democracy...

The website is due to go live in September.

sketchbook

Some initial concept designs for a music-based project I've been working on with Hello Charlie.

3 little piggies

Hero Ship

A secret hideout, fashioned from junk they have collected... fully equipped with all the gadgets you would expect in a super-hero hangout, but with a home-made/low-tech feel. It can also fly...

Handmade Heroes in action!

I'm currently working with Wonky to try and get these little Handmade Hero guys off the ground as an interactive/online thing or set of animations or something...

Just a couple of visuals...Ninja lollystick twirling, banana tree zippity-zipping and Poppi-Su uses the whisk attachment of her multi-tooli-dooli-boppers to mix the ingredients of a cake!

Handmade Heroes...

Lovingly crafted from found fabrics and vector lines, these little super-beings are ready to take on the world...

The extent of their powers is not yet clear, but we do know they bring happiness to everyone who encounters them.

Self-initiated, character development.

The kids'll love 'em...!
