20 MINUTE RECHARGE

I have an illustration in this months copy of Men's Fitness.


The article is about coping some zzzs at work. This brief was very quick turnaround but I think it ticks all the boxes. I went for a Matrix style green tinge to the colouring, stopping short of adding a "hello neo.. the Matrix has you." on the screen.

CROSSEYED & PAINLESS

This is a logo design for a club night that's coming up soon. I will post more info as soon as I get it.

GO RED BLOOD

This is for a charity auction called 'Go Red'. It will be held at the coningsby gallery on wednesday 31st of March. The idea is to do a remote collaborative 'consequences' drawing, like the ones where you draw a head, fold it down and pass it along to someone to draw the body etc. I got body as part of a group project with the new illustration collective PUCK. The rules were that it had to be predominantly in red. I went with the blood gang sign plus prison tattoos. Didn't want you to think I was going soft doing this charity stuff!

ATLAS

Another UKBC concept. Vetoed on account of being to anatomical/homo erotic. Fair enough this time!

LADY OF THE LATTE

This was a certificate design option for the UK barista championships. I had a death in the family around the closing date for this project and so they may have had to go with another design. This piece is loosely based around the art work for the film 'Excalibur' and I've gone for that 80s airbrush effect. For those of you unfamiliar with the coffee industry, they run these competitions where baristas can attempt to out do each other in the noble art of coffee making. The device in the Lady of the milky Lake's hand is a portafilter which is used in making espresso. A well established industry professional pointed out that the lake of milk splashing about and dripping down the supernatural water dweller's wrist could be considered as looking 'spermy'. I choose to ignore his comments.

JUDGE DEATH

Oh yes! Judge Death vinyl model kit bought from a charity auction at KK Outlet just before crimbo. Some crazy fool by the name of Jean Jullien (a very talented and prolific designer/illustrator from France) submitted this to the auction as it was an unwanted gift from his uncle Thierry. He states that he was 10 years old at the time and blinded by the charms of Marvel comics which led him to disregard the dynamic and highly detailed vinyl sculpture and leave it in a pretty much as new condition. I can distinctly remember these boxes on display at the toy shop Beatties and there were painted versions in the cabinet as well. I really wanted one but Unfortunately, my mother was less inclined to furnish me with an undead, screaming Harbinger of death in 1:6 scale as illustrated by Brian Bolland than Uncle Thierry was. Having remained at the gallery for the duration of the show, Judge Death is now finally in my possession! However, what good is Judge Death without Judge Dredd? No good whatsoever is the answer so I hit up ebay and sorted myself out.
