Nike Air Jordan Posters

2010-08-03T03:23:00.000-07:00

New work based on the FCUK posters i did a while back...collaged found images and then work in photoshop, and for once I actually like the fonts I picked. hopefully these images as well as the zombie photoshoot will go into the pitch im putting together for Offspring to produce an in house magazine.

Gangs Shoot

2010-07-11T17:24:00.000-07:00

Found a derelict building just off oxford road and had to do something with it...the wind nearly brought the building down on us the first day but the shoot went off without a hitch.

Illustration for TBA Magazine

2010-06-28T06:48:00.000-07:00

Illustration for TBA magazine, I got asked to do the internal image on their magazine, as well as an interview! Woot!...you can check it out online I think, its rather good.

Zombie Bad Bear and Clive

Another set of toys from a while back, just got them back from NoiseLab in Manchester, hopefully ill photogarph them properly and pop them in the portfolio...

A Walk in the Woods

2010-06-12T13:11:00.000-07:00

Promoting outdoors wear and the current trend for layering with checks and plaid, this shoot was a cool one to do, walking around the woods in Leigh.

The Boxer

2010-06-12T13:08:00.001-07:00

The shots in this series are actually just test photos for a larger shoot still in production, I weathered them to see what was possible with the technique and think they stand up well on their own...

More Bad Bears

2009-11-30T07:13:00.000-08:00

More of the bad bear and Clive series, the bear with his spine exposed is either going to be torn apart by the zombie bad bear, or I may be making a new dinosaur character and have him eat the poor guy...

Bad Bear Eats Clive

2009-11-03T10:38:00.001-08:00

A new piece of work i've been working on for a while, i'm going to be producing a few more pieces of textile based pop art soon I hope, so keep your eyes peeled. Most people who know me have seen my felt creatures or even have a few ive given them, but these are different, dedicated pieces of artwork that hopefully will be showcased soon.

Cadaver Issue 1 Version 2.0

2009-11-03T03:14:00.000-08:00

Some of (in my opinion) the best of Cadaver magazines layouts that I produced. The magazine set out to expose up and coming new illustrators to deadlines, art direction and real world briefs, producing topical and incisive work along the way.

Cadaver magazine Ver 1.0 - Sam Hammond

2009-11-02T08:42:00.000-08:00

Sam's politically inspired work for Cadaver was printed onto two 1 inch badges, and then stuck inside the little holder I designed for them, his work comprised two simple line drawings of faceless military personel, and so I attempted to cary over this utilitarian, sterile design in my work.

Cadaver magazine Ver 1.0 - Hannah Mosley

2009-11-02T08:39:00.000-08:00

Hannah's work was so cool that to do it justice I decided not to play around too much with layout and type, and instead focused on presenting her work in a fitting way, her 10 images of boxers fighting were printed as a long strip of paper and folded into a concertina booklet, with the cover shown bellow, a contemporary twist on an old school boxing poster.

Cadaver magazine Ver 1.0 - Zac Gander

2009-11-02T08:34:00.000-08:00

This was a flyer that came in the Cadaver pack in its original incarnation, Zac's work was very unusual and very twisted, and so the quote that formed the centerpiece was split across two separate flyers to lessen the impact of his words.

New Felts!

2009-11-02T08:08:00.000-08:00

Brand new felts that ive been working on over the past month, hopefully ill have got them finished in time to put a few in for an exhibition in Warrington very soon, the idea is to have a few set up in poses interacting with one another...we shall soon see how well it turns out.

PulP Magazine

2009-10-28T16:04:00.001-07:00

Oh god pulp magazine! I didn't enjoy this project, I got taken on with a few days to go before the mag had to go to print and to top it all off the submissions weren't in! Anyways come print day the editor saw fit to change my layouts so the images below aren't actually a representation of my printed work, but I assure you are miles better than those that appeared in the mag...i'm not bitter, honest.

FELT! at the Link, and Free Felt!

2009-10-28T10:55:00.000-07:00

Producing the first series of toys based on my doodles and designs, i've now given most of them away to friends, so these photos are the only record I have! Fortunately the series 1 felt toys were just experiments and will soon be making way for a new breed of better creations, as soon as I upload the photos, you'll see them here...

Zombie Photoshoot

2009-10-28T10:11:00.000-07:00

The coolest thing i've done in ages...Its only about halfway through but eventually i hope to have about 5 shots, in this kind of Romero, Grindhouse style light. the idea was to promote contemporary watch and trainer designs, but in a new and interesting way, the industrial starkness of the location and the mood and themes used contrast with the candy colored objects.

The makeup and prosthesis I did myself, as for the art direction, that was a collaborative effort with a friend, who also took the photographs.

Tetris Font

2009-10-28T10:09:00.000-07:00

I honestly don't remember why I produced this, one day ill get round to editing it, making it 3 dimensional, or turning into a physical object. How cool would it be to have this stuff stuck on walls around a city?

DVD Packaging

2009-10-28T10:04:00.000-07:00

DVD for my Dads digital exhibition. His work from 89-09 was turned into a digital slideshow, and it was up to me to package this product. I came up with the idea of drawing from the abstract art he produced, using illustrator I created the outline shapes and then formatted text to flow within predesigned boxes.

The entire sheet was printed at A1 and then folded down to enclose the DVD, reducing packaging costs, and when folded out, the individual lines formed new and interesting compositions...

Milky Tee

2009-10-28T10:02:00.000-07:00

Packaging design for an ethical brand of tee shirts, Milky Tee wanted their boxed shirts to be quirky, carbon neutral and fun. I developed a milk carton package that would hold a shirt, and could be folded up from a single a3 sheet of paper, including swing tickets and barcode tag.

Snakes Hate Fire

2009-10-28T09:59:00.000-07:00

Photography from a Snakes Hate Fire gig, the brief was to take these photos, edit them, and then add minimal text and branding whilst still promoting the group...

There may well be a continuation of this project as I developed a large number of shots and edited them, possibly taking this into a range of posters or using the 'bars' style as a webpage idea...

FCUK Rebranding - Part 2

2009-10-28T09:56:00.000-07:00

Taking the FCUk rebrand further I developed the idea of a possible creative advocacy scheme for FCUK to promote, whereby they would encourage artists to produce work in line with their ethos, and in return for publishing and promoting the work, artists would advocate FCUK, thus realigning the brand as Beck's beer has...

FCUK Rebranding - Part 1

2009-10-28T09:51:00.000-07:00

This was part of my final major at university. Originally the idea was to produce illustrative work for FCUK to use in their stores, and I produced 5 images based on creating new phrases from the letters FCUK.

Flux Magazine - Satan Comes To Bucharest

2009-10-28T09:47:00.000-07:00

God this is really old, I was asked to create layouts for FLUX magazine by John Walsh, their art director. Here are three, the illustrations are my own, and to be honest, are the only thing i'm happy about with them...

To be honest the last one isn't that bad, its the one I eventually submitted, and the only one to use most of my original imagery...

The All Seeing Eye

2009-10-28T09:34:00.000-07:00

A new project to get me back up to date with the illustrator program, everyone keeps going on about how you have to be top notch so i've eased myself in gently. Most are based on a pre-existing symbol or pattern (including the all seeing eye, off the one dollar bill), subverted with my own version of an eye.

I don't actually know what i'm going to do with there images, they relate vaguely to the Felt stuff i've been doing. Ill keep you posted on what happens to them on here. They would look cool as posters or screenprinted so ill have a mess about with colorways and two/ tree color options I think...
