I was asked to design the end pages for the second issue of Bone Shaker bike magazine a couple of months ago. Issue 2 is printed and is now available to pre-order on their website www.boneshakermag.com
Over the past couple of weeks i have been planning and drawing a seven page narrative. It will be printed in four Pantone colours and presented along side a selected group of illustrators for an anthology to be released later in the year.
A selection of images i have been working on recently.
A while ago i worked on an image for a new cycling magazine called Boneshaker there first issue has now been released. above is the finished piece.
A while ago i was asked to collaborate with Elliot Dear at Winter Champion to create a short narrative about the band Elbow and their rise to success for the Music Matters campaign. Here are few stills of the the finished animation. The animation in full is to come shortly once it has been officially released from Universal.
I was asked by Chesapeake Design to illustrate a project they were working on about school research, here are a selection of drawings done for the brief. The final output of the design is going to be printed in two spot colours.
I was kindly invited by the people at nobrow to contribute to their third issue which should come out at the end of april. this is how my image should look if i separated the pantones correctly.
Working stages of a panoramic narrative i did recently, which will eventually be made into a book.
I will be working on a animation in the next few weeks for Winter Champion run by Elliot Dear. He has recently been working on a music campaign called "Music Matters" Music Matters is a collective of artists and people from across the industry,which has formed to remind music fans of the significance and value of music. You can view one of his animations for the project HERE or on the Music Matters website www.whymusicmatters.org www.elliotdear.com

Over the past few weeks, i ve been working on a book for an exhibition at KALEID gallery in london. The exhibition is a showcase of work by bookmaker and publisher Jonathan Ward and he invited a few guest artists to create a piece to show along side his work. The theme was child hood memories. i decided to draw the images for the book in a medium that i was most familiar with in my childhood (coloured crayons). Here is double page spread from the book.

This week i was commissioned by research world magazine to illustrate a page and half for an article about aging populations. Recently i have been looking at patterns and i decided to try creating a repeat pattern out of cut out drawings, here is the result.
