Home Screen Print Fun!

For Christmas my mum has a habit of getting most of mine and my sisters presents from charity shops and car boot sales and things didn't change this year when I got a battered old screen printing kit fresh from a farmyard car boot for a pound.
And its great! A bit hit and miss but for a first attempt I'm really impressed and excited to do more!

This was a quick design using a stanly knife to cut the screen (a piece of paper) that I made into a birthday card for my mum. See how it works! What goes around and all.
I really like them!

yay!

Underpass of Oneness.

Nothing says friendship, excellence and respect better that kids in onesies building a town right? ...right?

The city council is running a competition to redesign the underpass to the main high school in town and I decided to go for fun and simple (the wall is horrible and pebble-dashed so I reckon anything of great detail will be lost). I had a really good time drawing and designing these characters and I really hope that it gets somewhere. I'd love to get the chance to collaborate with some of the guys to paint a huage wall!

ONESIE PARTY! 

I got an owl onesie for christmas!

Swallow Hill

Identity and Branding for Swallow Hill Vineyards in South Africa.

   

The clients were extreamly open in their briefing, wanting only the inclusion of the swallow that sits amongst the vines so I just decided to run with it and have lots of fun!

Donde Esta Santa Claus?

For the past few weeks I've been getting some work together for the monthly Tigerprint competition, its been a wonderful distraction from uni work and the impending doom of a family Christmas.

And a colour one, just to prove colour doesn't terrify me. Honest...

The cumbrian wild.

Last week I was sent out into the brutal wilds of Carlisle to draw an abandoned car park and it was So Much Fun!

Redesign time!

For the past couple of weeks I've been working on my personal identity as an illustrator, working on my business cards, mailers and website design. I've always thought that I have a very erratic style of illustration, which while exciting ain't all that great for presenting an identity. However after designing my portfolio site and putting everything together I can't help thinking it all looks very...me!

So after several bizzillian hours of adobe muse and bashing my head again the desk I present my new portfolio website. Complete with updated work! (That is all very me!)
