Havn’t uploaded here in a while as I’m working on my new website which will hopefully be up and running in the next few days!!!
Just playing around in illustrator!!
As one of my final projects last year, I created a set of book covers based on William Gibsons book: Burning Chrome – A Collection of 10 Short stories. (See here LINK)
One year on, I decided to attempt the project again, since, as with everything I do, the moment I finish a project, I dislike it! The new design is minimal, and meant to look embossed and de-bossed and is designed for digital publication – the ebook edition!
Full View is best

Made using watercolours. Feedback/crit always welcomed!!
My first time using water colours (I’m not a very good/confident painter, in fact I never really paint at all) but I’m looking to change that to better my self!! So any advice/crit/feedback would be greatly appreciated!
This was only a 15 minute painting, just to test the waters so to speak!!

Autumn colours are awesome!! A bit more pattern experimenting, this time I went for a more natural pattern using sycamore leaves of various sizes.
Done in illustrator, used pen tool for most of it and a gradient overlay on the background pattern of leaves.
Yes this pic couldn’t be any more different from my normal stuff!!
Just experimenting with different things. Can’t decide whether it looks stylish or messy.
As always I would love to hear any feedback, good or bad!
Logo for Goalkeeping Trainer. The client specifically wanted to incorporate a goalkeeper into the logo.
Logo for myself
Logo for new Hairdresser; Solo Hair
Have been toying around with this idea for a logo for the past day or 2, (I still don’t know why it takes me so long to decide on the most simple of things, should I add texture, or not etc) lol Decided to keep it clean and simple just to make it pop that little bit.
Created in Illustrator, just the pen tool and a few gradient overlays!
Feedback/crit always welcome, in fact, its very much appreciated (positive OR negative)
This managed to take all of yesterday to do, (mainly because I was trying to get a texture that complimented it)
This is what would happen if a printer got shot!! lol
Feedback/crit is always welcome!!
This is the very sleek 2010 Koenigsegg Agera!! I’m trying to train myself to get quicker with vectors, but I ended up getting too fussy with stupid wee things which made this piece take 3 days (on and off)
All done in illustrator with the pen tool, bar a couple of gradients (window and background) and outer glows (lights)
Feedback/crit is always welcome.
First character of my Mouse Army. This, is Ninja Mouse.
Pretty simple spin on nike “branding!!”
I was commissioned by Adam and Janet to produce an Order of Service and name cards. They requested that it be contemporary and light hearted which made the job all the more fun.
The name cards were given a Hawaiian theme as this was their honeymoon destination. (Although the groom did ask me to make him look buff in them)
