People I've never met, conversations I've never had...

This was my submission for an up-coming book from Nowbrow, on the theme "People I've never met, conversations I've never had". Artists/illustrators were invited to submit 2 images - 1 of a person you've never met and another of a conversation you've never had.

Amongst other things, I've never met a South American birdman (or any other nationality for that matter) and i've never spoken spanish to a houseplant.

Not surprisingly, from the masses of entries my work wasn't selected. It was still fun trying though, maybe next time....

All the other submissions can be seen here on flickr

Rosie's Armoire - Phase One

Trading as Rosie's Armoire, designer/maker Helen Ashworth has created a collection of contemporary textiles inspired by the contents of a vintage armoire -  assembled artwork and handmade items using a mix of stitch and print techniques. She has been exhibiting at trade shows and selling through various retail outlets but is soon to launch a new e-commerce site.

I was asked to design a new logo and business cards initially, and then carry this through to stickers which would be used for packaging, before moving on to design the website.

The business card uses the chosen logo, from a number of designs I created. The button icons are derived from a page of sketches i did initially, shown below.

bGorgeous website goes live!

I have recently designed the website for bGorgeous - a new creative hair and make-up service based in the South West, offering professional styling for weddings and special occasions.

The site was built by Laura James, a brilliant Bath-based Web Developer.

The website can be viewed here www.bgorgeousmakeup.com

One Colour WNY

 

This is a one colour version of an illustration i'd done previously for the Whole Nine Yards new brand/website (see earlier posts).

Was a bit of an epic to re-draw as a single colour...!

Will be going on the back of hoodies and t-shirts at the end of the month..... nice.

Happy Christmas one and all!

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.
