Dinosaurus - Shadow Screen

This was my submission for an opportunity found via Central Station. The brief was from Paul Kerlaff: to create a black and white pattern which could be cut from sheet form to make one of their Shadow Screens.

I created my design with the specific purpose of a screen which could be used to define/conceal a child's playspace.

Alas, my submission was unsuccessful - with feedback that the design would perhaps be more suited to print than cut sheet form. lines too thin i guess...

oh well, was fun drawing the dinosaurs......

Landlord Expo

I created this street scene for Point Creative for use on some promotional materials/literature they are producing for the Landlords Expo 2011 - the South-west's largest exhibition aimed specifically at landlords.

The image was hand drawn, scanned and converted to vector artwork, then coloured in Illustrator.

Law & Company Website

I recently designed the new website for Law & Company Decorative Living - an inspirational, lifestyle boutique in the Cotswold town of Stow on the Wold.

For the new online boutique I developed an ornately hand-drawn style with gilt-edge framing details and decorative wallpaper to create a feel which is very in-keeping with the ultra-feminine emporium, and which works alongside the existing logo.

Have a look! ... www.lawandcompany.com

The website was developed by Laura James at Kinetic Pulse, and the project was managed by Alex Astell at Manage My Website

Background Illustrations

A couple of background images I made with a low-tech feel for Shadow Industries, and a proposal they're putting together for CBBC.

A fun and exciting project - am hoping it gets off the ground!

JDRF illustrations

I was recently asked by Point Creative to work on a series of illustrations for JDRF ( Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) and specifically a campaiging guide they were producing for the client.

This illustration of the Houses of Parliament is one of five illustrations i created to appear in the guide.

Intransit Man

Superhero character created for Intransit - a removals & storage company.

Specifically designed to sit along side the existing brand. I believe he is going to be appearing on the back of all their removal lorries soon - so look out for him!

Thinking Caps Exhibition

Thinking Caps is an exhibition of custom cycle caps that just opened at the Howies store in Bristol to coincide with The Bristol Bike Festival. It runs alongside a whole collection of other cool bike related artwork, until September 26th.

Pictured above is my contribution to the show, titled Freeridin' Treeridin' (modelled by the lovely teresa!), and a selection of other caps from various artists & illustrators - together they're a really fun collection - pop in for a look if you're passing...

Papa-Charlie

This is a quick sketch i did for the European Panda Project - he's called Papa-Charlie.

The project was started by Joel Millerchip and Chris Nunn - basically a flikr group of European Pandas, any medium, just have to be black and white.

Whole Nine Yards - Business cards

These are some business cards I've just designed and had printed for Whole Nine Yards - a client I did quite a lot of illustration work for a while back.

another nice print job from Ripe Digital.

Thinking Caps

'Thinking Caps' is an exhibition of up to 100 classic cycling caps - each of a bespoke design submitted by artists and designers. The caps will be exhibited in Howies (Bristol) gallery space throughout the Bristol Bike Festival (11th - 26th September).

These are the 2 side panels of my cap, which i created using a combination of pens and sewing machine. I had great fun making it and think it is a technique i will be re-visiting for future projects.
