Merry Christmas

This was a Christmas mail shot I did for soundtree music. It even inspired them to compose their own carol and have it made into a music box....
Merry Christmas everyone.

Animals Asia Moon Bear products

I've designed several products for the charity Animals Asia, who are working to rescue and support Moon Bears held on bile farms in China.

The profit made from the sales of these products all goes directly to help the bears. They might be the perfect Christmas gift!
Thanks,

Hi all you lovely people. These two pics were for Campaign (Asia Pacific) Mag and the piece was about Nerds and how hard it is to catch them and sell them stuff. I seem to be having a yellow/red head on just now (see below)

These two pics above were for the Washington Post's Outlook mag, I wasn't sure which one I liked more so left the choice to them. I was asked to do the cover as well......Whey hey!

sweet anthology

I've designed the label and branding for new sweet company Chorley & Baker. The collection is called 'Sweet Anthology' and features a modern-baroque icon, with two lovely ladies making sweets..

 The jars are super nice, and the sweets are crazy tasty.

I've done little illustrations throughout the website also. Please try some and let me know what you think!

Farmer Clegg's Night Out

This is my second picture book with the excellent wordsmith Peter Bently and published by the monolithic Macmillan. Its the story of Farmer Clegg (not the Nick varierty) sleepwalking his way into an animal talent contest. CLUCK!
Buttercup is a moonwalking cow, Dobbin is break-dancing Horse, the Ram twins Ramsey and Ramsden may remind of you of some irritating Irish twins, and of course the lead Judge Simon the Cow sporting the hairstyle of a Grizzly bear. 

You can purchase a copy HERE or better still, buy it from a bookshop.

Hugh's Three Good Things

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's new cook book is out! Filled with tasty recipes, and my illustrations. I've used watercolour and pen & ink, and also made some photo collages using Hugh. Available at all good bookshops....hope you enjoy!

Green Machine!

This was a recent piece I illustrated for Print Week, the article gave tips on how Print companies can save money and do their bit for the environment via their Print Delivery Trucks. I took the tips and gave them a few more, Wind-meals on wheels, giant Rollerboot, sailing boats on wheels, oversized paper aeroplanes and foot powered Flintstone style vehicles. Look out Toyota Prius!

Glasgow Jazz Festival

I was asked by the kind folk at Atalanta to illustrate Pharoah Sanders, the excellent Saxophone jazz musician, for this years Glasgow Jazz Festival. I rarely get to do these sort of commissions all the portrait illustrations I do tend to be personal projects only, so this will be for others eyes too!

I kept the colour palette limited to tie in with the magenta in the Jazz Fest logo, all the white lines for his beard and hat (he's had some awesome beards in his time) were drawn in dip pen, line work was reduced to a minimum to keep it bold and graphic.

The final piece will be a fold out leaflet measuring 530mm x 310mm with details of the festival on the other side. Check out this youtube clip of Pharoah Sanders and James Blood Ulmer doing some 'improv' blues jazz fusion...Nice.
