Newtasty

Been a while, going to try to get a bit more regular with posts this year. Worked on a nice project for Nokia just before Christmas, illustrating a poster for their short movie ‘The Commuter’ starring Dev Patel, Charles Dance and Pamela Anderson which was shot entirely on Nokia’s N8 handsets. Yeah, weird. Anyway, I thought that I would share some of the illustrations, a painted style for that action movie effect!

Poster for a ColdRice party, continuing the theme of comic book-esque soul singers

There’s a nice feature over at Graniph Labs, did a series of tees with them a couple of years back and hope to do some more soon.

Pitched for a job recently involving another comic book, didn’t materialize in the end but I thought I would share some of the pitch samples. Went for a fairly traditional style as per request, not really my style of colouring either but good to try it out and the whole thing was good practice and a chance to blow off those comic book cobwebs. Always helps to be versatile!

Missing Graniph t-shirt design, not sure if they ever made this one

New look for the site, it’s a work in progress at the moment so there might be a few bits upside down and some manholes without covers…

Cover for Fused Magazine’s student issue

I really don’t even remember working on this, i assume it was character design sketches but who knows! I do know it was for Namco’s Moto GP3 and I also know I hate drawing vehicles. And horses.

This is great going thru all my old files, found a bunch of pictures from the Pop which was an exhibition of gig poster art. I had around 10 pieces displayed, lots of ColdRice posters. For all the colours and painstaking hours I spent on some of the ColdRice posters, my favourite was always this Weird War poster I made which took about 10 minutes. Always the way isn’t it?

Yeeeears ago Levi’s comissioned me and my buddy Stef to do an instore painting at the opening of one of their stores. I decided denim, rock n’ roll, so I did a portrait of a girl who wants to be Iggy Pop and we surrounded it with printed confessions from groupies.
Here’s the initial sketch I did and some photos from the event. yeeeears ago and I still have the free jeans they gave me!
