A series of vector illustrations done for a client a couple months back. Unfortunately they were rejected further down the line. I had so much fun doing the microscope though!
My submission for the branding of this year’s MA Sequential Design / Independent Research course (Brighton University). I decided to keep the composition simple but also convey an image of diversity and development.
…looks like this is how I am going to be remembered in the graduation catalogue this year
My latest feature on Wired Online. Turns out Total Recall’s take on Mars wasn’t so far off. Here’s the article by @kadhimshubber
Yesterday after work I went down to Hove lawns to have some lunch in the sun. Because of the bank holiday there were packs of people down. I had to have my Big Mac meal a mile and a half away from where I had originally planned - first world problems!
Recent sketches
As many (or a few handful who follow me) might have noticed that my blog has been rather silent the last few months. Work has bogged me down and sadly I haven’t been doing much drawing.
Recently I was invited by a friend to come along to Drawing Club which takes place in the Cricketers; a pub in the Laines (Brighton). I could only stay for just over an hour and managed to get a few drawings done before I left. Instead of trying to meticulously draw people, I decided that I could capture the hum drum of the small pub in a different way.
Below that are some sketches I managed to squeeze in before I went into the David Bowie exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum. It was a 15 minute wait so they are quick drawings done in water colour crayonsn thi(HIGHLY recommend them). Sadly there was no sketching allowed inside the Bowie exhibit.
Here’s a new piece for this week’s theme “A”
So I guess I’ve decided to breathe life back into what I had started a couple of years ago. A zine that quietened down after only 1 and a half issues (shameful I know). Lets see how long I can keep it alive this time; Viva 6 Page Party!
