Today I Will Wake Up To This

This is my final illustration for the Memories brief (see below post).

My visual response to the memory I was given shows 4 warrior men surrounded by cut out words and shapes. It is intended to represent the fight (against cancer) for a new day, a better lifestyle, positivity, colour, fun and happiness as opposed to the sad and unfortunate outcome cancer can have on many people's lives.

Today Cut Shapes Out

I found a knife and then some paper and got a bit carried away cutting it out.

So fun.

A work in progress for my submission to the Memories book.

More Rescue Rooms

I did another board for Rescue Rooms in Nottingham, this time with a loose "drink and music" theme.
It has some hidden words in it, that the warrior men are saying.

Subism / Memories

I have been invited to take part in this project run by Subism, One Ten Eleven Media and Designers Against Human Rights Abuse (DAHRA). The Memories project looks at the thoughts and experiences of individuals that have had to deal with cancer in one way or another.

Leading artists, illustrators and designers have been invited to contribute their own visual response to one of the memories, which will lead to the launch of a Memories book and exhibition with all proceeds going towards Maggie's Centres.

Have a look at the project in more detail here.

Rescue Rooms Nottingham

Just completed two black and white boards for below the bar area at Rescue Rooms in Nottingham. Food and drink related theme, so amongst other things I drew some noodles, sausages, box drinks, biscuits, pizza and forks.

Flood It

Taking part in my 3rd Flood It tonight at the Arts Organisation in Nottingham.

Flood It is an excellent evening of live music and screen printing run by Waste.

This is what I am gonna be printing onto t-shirts and jumpers.

Have been invited to take part in NIKE78, an exciting new project run by Paul Jenkins and Nike. Asking 78 creatives to challenge the function of a pair of Nike trainers, using sport as inspiration.

Can't wait to receive my trainers and get started on this!

MIKA Imaginarium Tour 2010

Just completed a crazy, hectic 2 weeks working on an animation for MIKA's upcoming tour.

I was given the track 'Blue Eyes' to interpret and create visuals for, which will be projected on the set of all the show dates throughout the tour.

Here's a peek at some of the drawings that appear in the animation.

Once the tour is over i'll post the whole moving 3 minutes on my website.
