It’s been a while since my last post as I have been working on an exciting pitch. Nonetheless, here is a portrait of one of my good friends caught on camera sometime ago.

I am continuing with my cross-media technique for my latest illustration. Combining photography, hand drawing, collage and photoshop to create this final image of little red riding hood grown up.

The nights have well and truly drawn in now and decorations are going up all over the place. With plans being made for the festive season, it is hard not to feel a little bit Christmasy. My recent piece of work has definitely a winter wonderland in mind. I have tried to again to look at an organic/ textured feel combining pencil sketch worked over in photoshop & illustrator.

It would be interesting to hear what you think about this softer, more nostalgic look when compared against my more graphic, and colourful style. Feel free to leave a comment, it would be great to hear from you!

Now where’s that Bing Crosby album?

As well as design, music is my passion. My latest project combines the two, designing this flyer for I night I will be playing at in November.

Al Mackenzie has been busily recording his new album “In Memory Of…” for D:ream who reformed last year.

The iconic image of Gregory Peck seemed both iconic and perfect for the ‘black sheep’ concept I was after.

Last February, I took this shot inside the Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói (Modern Art Museum) in Niterói in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

I have alwas been facinated by Oscar Niemeyer’s iconic style so a day trip across Guanabara Bay was a pleasant respite from the mania of the carnival that was the main reason for our stop off here during our exploration of South America.

It has always amused me when people fail to notice warnings particuarly in a world surrounded in health & safety bureaucracy. Signs and railings litter our roads & paths, yet people still somehow manage to navigate themselves into situations of peril.  Maybe we should be rid of all the street litter and let natural selection run its course?

I used a combination of hand drawing and Adobe Photoshop to create this image.

An incredible photographer inspired this piece of work.

Gemma Booth’s work (in particular her fashion shots) has a warm, summery feel that reminds me of the hazy Californian sunshine. Her client list includes the likes of Paul Smith, i-D, Roxy & American Eagle.

Well you can’t throw a cricket ball for them in London’s Victoria Park. For the time being the fixed gear fad is here to stay and who am I to argue, they do look great.
