No. 31 launch party

Greetings card and stationery publisher Urban Graphic have opened a shop! To celebrate they hosted a launch party where many of their contributors and special guests (including me) were asked to illustrate a 
postcard .These were then wrapped and sold blindly raising £500 for charity. Here are some images from the night (taken by Nic Zane)

Fathers Day card

Urban Graphic also asked me to use one of my images for a 2013 Father Day card.

Valentines Card

One of my illustrations was also purchased by Urban Graphic for their Toasted range of cards. I spotted it in Paperchase alongsides some other great designs by other illustrators and designers.

Gemalto

I worked on a number of illustrations for Gemalto on different subjects. The top image was an article about 4G being introduced and how it should be leaps ahead of 3G. Another article was about instant bank cards being issued in Saudi Arabia to save time and money as they have a lack of a standardized address system. This was making posting out cards and pins tricky.

Speedy illustration for the Radio Times

I was recently commissioned by the Radio Times to do this illustration about the clocks going forward and the hour being lost. Ironically the turnaround time was very speedy too!

Heineken magazine illustration

Half page illustration for Heineken magazine about one of the countries best pubs.

Statoil

Just before I left for my travels I was commissioned through YCN to do this illustration for Statoil. It was a nice open brief where they wanted to convey the concept of being 'green'.

OUT OF THE STUDIO

Helping to beat poverty - new work for CAP

Here are just some of the illustrations I worked on with CAP (Christians Against Poverty). The illustrations were used for a small brochure and the balloon image also got used for an exhibition graphic.

Science

In this months issue of Sainsbury's magazine there is another small spot in its usual place within the beauty section.

SNUG Gallery

For those in West Yorkshire you should pop down to Hebden Bridge and have a snoop around SNUG. They have a great selection of work from a range of artists, illustrators, designers and more! If you look closely you may even stumble across some of my limited edition prints!

Jamie Magazine

I was commissioned through YCN at the end of last year to produce some illustrations for an article on Cider within Jamie Olivers magazine. They also has some information about me on the contributors page. The magazine is out in the shops now so I can show you what I got up to - great client, great subject and really well printed - all in all a great job!

Annual reports dont have to be dull!

Last year I worked with Playne Design producing the annual report for one of their clients. I was asked to produce some very graphic and predominantly type based illustrations based on the concept of 'A Winning Formula'. I really like the striking colours they chose to use on the black.

New year, work and clients...

This quill and ink form part of a busier illustration but I quite liked it as a stand alone object. I have just completed some illustrations for Jamie Oliver magazine (commissioned through YCN)  which were great fun to produce all on the subject of Cider - I cant post anything yet but keep your eyes peeled!

Januarys issue of Sainsbury's magazine

You guessed it - another small spot for Sainsbury's.
