Illustrations
Where the pretty pictures are.
Costumes Shop Window
A 'shop window', created as part of an application project to work for a costumes supplier. My brief was, obviously, Halloween. Check out the translucency on the bride's veil. There's also a strip banner in the blog post, and a site logo on my Design page.
Ackbarpography
Using typography, this piece merges Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars with his catchphrase - "It's a trap!".
You can buy this as a splitreason.com t-shirt right here… and you can thank copyright thieves for the addition of the large watermark!
Cliffe the Caterpillar
A children's mascot for Cliffe Castle museum, who appears on their nature trail boards and in museum literature.
The first set is each of his life stages: Hover over / click this link to see the second set, where he has little adventures!
iProducts
Two photo-realistic vector images of Apple devices, created from scratch; the iPod nano 5G on the left, and the iPhone 3GS on the right.
Greetings Cards
The back-centre one may be drawn in Illustrator, but the rest are hand-crafted watercolour or crayon works!.
The three large cream cards were for wedding couples – Left is styled after Scott C., front-centre is based on Quentin Blake. Right is all me. Bottom-right features weddings rings incorporated into a loveheart-stamped ball-and-chain.
I would call these cards "one-of-a-kind", but as they were gifted for certain occasions, I no longer possess any of them… I had to make copies for this more formal shot!
Pixel White House
A quick test of my old pixel-art skills; may I present a sweet-looking 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
I recommend checking out the brown house in the below link too.
Auntie Helen's Disco
Large image to be used on a poster / business card, for a friend's DJ service. Incidentally, the large version of my head, as seen in this site's header, can be found here.
The Dog Race Begins
One of the grandest pages from my Puffin Digital Prize 2011 entry. On an Isle of Dogs, they decided to have a race – this is a bunch of them leaving the start line. Hand-drawn, digitally arranged and coloured. It's also on on deviantART with the rest of the series.
Moulin Rouge characters
A whole range of "rosettes" from my early days with Illustrator, each featuring a character from Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge!. The full versions also add a prop and saying; Go here to see them.
Singin′
Gene Kelly, in his famous scene from Singin′ in the Rain. You can see the accuracy when comparing it to a shot from the film.
Tiger Comic
Another cheap joke. I regret nothing.
Skin Fragment Diagram
Part of a set of diagrams made while on an internship at Saatchi & Saatchi
. This example shows a cross-section of the human skin's surface, showing the structure and musculature involved in the human hair.
