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...

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.

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.

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!

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!

more handmade heroes...

4 more to complete the set. Greeting card designs.

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...!
