Ohh Deer

Submitted my London Pigeons illustration to Ohh Deers pillow fight competition. Soooo much talent on display. A little inspired from having a look around. A lot of people seem to be interested so might look into printing on cushions or maybe tea towel.. hmmmm.....

finished london pigeons...

Pigeons

"There are 4,000 pigeons in Trafalgar square. They all have names.*
*Not all 'facts' have supporting evidence"

For the secret London competition. Ive missed the deadline but I liked the brief so I thought I'd give it a go anyway. I decided to find facts about London but then change them slightly or add a bit that isnt quite so factual.
I haven't tried printing this yet. I'm not sure if all the small text will be readable.

secret drawings of a roller girl

Starting to put my "book" (for want of a better word) of illustrations together. Thought maybe I should have more interesting cover art.. or maybe I'll put this on the title page inside.. hmmm decisions decisions...
(photoshop sketch and pen and ink drawing)

finished penguin cover design..

or maybe the inverse?

Kurt Schwitters. He.

We were given a Kurt Schwitters story to work with. I was given He. Its about a really tall man.
This is the progression of my ideas, from an initial (very) rough sketch to an almost (possibly) finished piece.

To be continued..

Ate the Lot...

Possibly finished double page spread... as ever I can't decide if I like it or if its finished..
all opinions welcome..

Sam

Sam the dinosaur. I think. I can't decide if I like him.

Small Victories with article.

Small Victories

Final editorial illustration to go with an article about small victories and how many small victories equal one larger victory. I did two versions. I think I prefer the version with graph paper. The plain blue background over powers the image a bit.

Spam Advert

Final artwork for Spam brief. 

Space Party...

The second part of the summer brief was to take all your seven characters and put them together in one piece. They had to be having a party somewhere. The time, place, and all the details were left to us. I thought what cooler place to have a party then IN SPACE!!

I'm not entirely happy with my final piece. I think most of the elements work as separates I'm not sure I've found the best way to fit them together. The composition isn't quite right. They seem quite disconnected. I would like more interaction between my characters......... There may be another version of this at some point...

Hipster in space...

Where better to have a party than IN SPACE?!?!
