Been gone for a while...

2009-12-21T04:19:00.000-08:00

Glug

Our submission for Glug. The brief was to respond to the statement, 'All I want for Christmas is...'

Seamless Singles

2008-09-17T10:26:00.000-07:00

Seamless Recordings needed a house style for their future releases. Many of the singles will be released as digital downloads so the idea was to use their existing logo to produce something simple and striking. Here are a few taken from the album of Swedish GRAMMY nominated act, Physics.

A Distant Voice album art

2008-08-07T09:47:00.000-07:00

A new stu studio...

2008-08-03T07:54:00.001-07:00

We have some grand ideas for it too!

Give a pluck

2008-08-03T07:38:00.001-07:00

Plecs Appeal is all about raising awareness of teenage mental health (and eventually some cash too). Bands such as Radiohead, The Wombats and Maximo Park have signed and donated their plecs which will be on display at this years underage festival in Victoria Park, London. We have art directed the displays and developed the Plecs Appeal identity.

Invite

2008-06-03T02:52:00.000-07:00

I was asked to put together a wedding invite for a client. The result was a traditional poster style illustration.

The Mansion, Dulwich

2008-05-09T09:48:00.000-07:00

This is the final logo treatment to form part of a brand refreshment for The Mansion, Dulwich. The new look will be applied across menus, signs and promotional material. The idea was to reflect the way the middle tower sits out in front of the rest of the building.

MTV Header Art Treatment

2008-05-06T07:03:00.000-07:00

MTV have selected this design to go on rotation as part of their MTV HATS project. It was fun to work with such an iconic logo.

Meerkat Music

2008-02-14T10:10:00.001-08:00

It's been a very busy few weeks for the Meerkat Music label. We are currently developing more of the identity and the next task is to refresh the website. The image above is part of a new look logo. The Meerkat Music label is also a part of Seamless Recordings, the home of Bargrooves.

2008-01-09T03:46:00.001-08:00

Happy holidays!

2007-12-19T09:46:00.001-08:00

This year I put together a low budget fold out piece on some office flouro paper. The idea was to thank everyone who had kept me busy over the year and to show a glimpse of what I had been up to. I'm hoping santa gets me a better camera this year :)

Postcard art book

2007-12-09T11:25:00.001-08:00

Some postcards from a self directed project have been selected for POSTCARD, a forthcoming showcase book compiled, written and designed by FL@33 and to be published by laurence king. The project was based on a poem by Bob Auld, a scottish poet. 'The Cosy Cluster' is about a local pub and its regular characters. For me, the poem conjured up images of small town british culture. So I picked out some lines to illustrate this. The book will be out in spring '08

Origami fridays

2007-11-30T05:11:00.000-08:00

This is the latest flyer for Origami friday's at The White House, London. The design is based on paper folding crease patterns. Below are some previous versions that fold down from A4.

2007-10-29T09:42:00.000-07:00

The new Alastair Hamer site is now complete as part of a recent rebrand. Alastair is a Silversmith from London producing high quality, bespoke cutlery. The idea was to simply showcase some of his intricate pieces.

Stereohype

2007-09-20T04:51:00.000-07:00

As part of Stereohype's BIO series I was invited to submit a range of badges which are now on sale. The artwork was based on a recent illustration.

Nunya bidness...

2007-09-18T15:24:00.000-07:00

Here's what the new business cards look like. Black foil on some good board. Even managed to get a couple of versions done on a smoke colour and white plastic too. It was nice to be a bit indulgent!

The White House London: Mailer

2007-09-18T07:11:00.000-07:00

Just recieved a few file copies of a recent gatefold corporate mailer produced for The White House London, a Manhatten style club in Clapham. I'm in the process of getting some decent shots for my new website so you'll have to make do with this one for now. I've been doing flyers and posters for some of their events and it was nice to do something a little bit different for the brand.

It's all academic

2007-09-18T06:26:00.000-07:00

I was asked to come up with an identity for Theoretical Girl which will be used on promotional material and merchandise. We are in discussions for a cool website too! If you want to see more of TG, she'll be backed up by a full band supporting Maximo Park for a few dates in October.

A while ago now...

2007-09-18T03:21:00.000-07:00

...But I spotted one of my badges in an old copy of CR.
